Remarkable comeback for Crowder, Howard

[PGsHeroes32]

Question i dont really feel like taking the time to look up as a result of the thursday loss still stinging. Will Crowder be a soph or junior?

[Mobot]

He will be a Junior.

Alright thanks. I just watched a highlight vid of him, and boy can he stroke it from deep. I hope he is able to produce a good amount next year. We will need him to help replace Zar.

Any info on his impact during this incredible 21-1 finish?

Wow - that youtube vid really highliughts what a smooth 3 point shot Crowder has - I think they were all uncontested, but he has the stroke, which will be handy nesxt year without Lazar, Cubbie and Mo.

That was my point after watching the youtube.  He can stroke it but it looks like he is our seventh guard.  We need a glass eating power forward...!   A true 4!

I think people will be very disappointed if they think this guy will be a stud player on par with DJO or Butler.  If he is an inside version of Buycks, then it's a good signing.  The incoming class has 4 frosh and 1 JUCO.   Had to get some balance into the DJO class, which now had 2 slots.

Buycks and Crowder are nice players to have around during a coaching transition.  They play right away, eat up minutes, can transition to D-1 faster than a frosh and even up recruting classes.  On the downside, their ceiling is low and 4 years of that talent level would not be a good use of that schollie.   The nice thing is that after they do this for two years they are gone and the schollies are freed up for a higher ceiling 4-yr player.  Bottom line, such players let a new coach develop and implement his system faster.

If Crowder in his MU career can do 20 min, 6 points, 5 boards and guard in a non-embarassing manner (not foul out in 15 minutes) then I will be happy with the signing.  Such a player will take a ton of pressure off Otule, Fulce, Williams, Butler and Mbao (if he sniffs the floor).
