Recruit

Recruit (1/7)

  1. I measured Crawford myself in high school and with shoes he was a shade over 6'5. I'm guessing these measurements are without shoes. Looks like he has also lost a little weight but probably good weight because I know he has gotten stronger.
  2. I don't worry about what people say. If he doesn't play a lot this year it will be because SLU is loaded with good experienced players at his position and not because he isn't good enough. I still say he makes an impact this year and then takes off next year as a starter.
  3. 6'4 1/2 without shoes. It's hard for me to find criticism because he does everything at least pretty well. There's always room for improvement though. Like I said defensively he will need to continue to improve guarding on the ball but I have no doubt he will be fine. He just told me he went through a combine sort of thing and his max vertical was 43 inches and he benched 185 15 times. Not sure what the difference between a max vertical and a regular is but 43 is pretty good.
  4. He's much improved defensively. He's very good defending shooters. Such a smart and strong player and doesn't get hung up on screens. Much better off the ball defender than on the ball at this point but I have no doubt he will turn into a very good overall defender. Great rebounder too. Also he is 6'5 and I know this because we personally measured him.
  5. I coached Mike when he was in 8th grade and then moved up to HS asst when he did so I coached him for 5 years. Mike is a guard. He played a lot of point guard for us in high school but will be more of a 2-3 in college. He is a smart player and if he thought he had a mismatch in the post then we took advantage of that. He is a gym rat and his overall game has improved a ton over the years. He's turned himself into a really good 3 point shooter with deep range and his mid range is absolutely lethal. Finishes extremely well around the rim and through contact. Lead the state in free throw attempts and shot 84%.
  6. I don't know where to start with this. If you watched the video most of the highlights were against Bowman Academy who has D1 players including Davon Dillard who has a Purdue offer. Mike had 40 pts 17 rebounds in that game. In the regional championship game that someone posted they played Wapahani a team with 2 D1 kids including an Indiana Jr all star and Wright St commit. Also Crews never came to watch him during the season, he came to watch him during the summer in AAU when Mike was playing against the best players in the country. I can also tell you Mike has lived in the weight room and is benching over 300 lbs now. I will be absolutely shocked if he doesn't make an impact right away.
  7. This is not true at all. Mike is in the 6'5-6'6 range. He hasn't been 6'3 since 8th grade-frosh year. He can play the 1-3 in college. He's a much better player than Drew so that could be a reason Drew was shown the door.
  8. Gardner Webb, Yale and Lamar offered as well. If he would have waited until the spring he would have had several high major offers. As you mentioned he is an incredible golfer and went to State 3 years in a row so that hurt him on the AAU circuit. He has decided not to play this year to work on his game and in the weight room. I would be very surprised if he doesn't contribute next year. This is just dumb. If you read the article, his best games were against great competition. One team it doesn't mention is Columbus North who was ranked 2nd in 4A and had an all D1 front line and Mike single handedly kept his team in it and had 32 pts and 14 rebounds. Also he is really smart and takes what the D gives him. Theres games he scores all his points from outside and there is games he gets them all getting to the rim. His midrange might be his best thing. He's a really good 3 point shooter and a great free throw shooter.
  9. Zak Irvin wins Mr. Basketball followed by Demetrius Jackson and Mike Crawford. Was hoping Mike would win but #3 isn't bad. Congrats Mike! http://indy.st/XXJhu2
  10. Well all-state includes all classes and Blueitt and Lyles are 2 of the top juniors in the nation. With that said he still should have been on the first team. Hope he wins Mr. Basketball but I'm afraid they'll give it to Zak Irvin who is headed to Michigan next year.
  11. Great high school career came to a close for Mike. He put the team on his back and had a 3 to tie it at the buzzer and may have gotten fouled but Bowman Academy is loaded. 40 points 17 rebounds. Here is a quote from Bowman Academy's coach: "He's an Indiana All-American, Rea said, stretching it a bit. We tried to contain him and make the other guys beat us. He was unconscious." http://www.nwitimes.com/high-school/bowman-academy/bowman-stamps-return-ticket-to-a-state-finals/article_4917a1ed-9a6f-58e5-98a6-89b6ca586eb3.html
  12. Mike is a finalist for Mr. Basketball. Here is an article and a few 4th quarter highlights. http://www.indystar.com/interactive/article/20130312/SPORTS02/303120073/Who-should-win-IndyStar-Mr-Basketball-
  13. Mike Crawford hit a buzzer beater to win the Regional Championship tonight. He had 28 points and now has 2,065 career points and 92 career wins. Could be the front runner for Mr. Basketball now. Definitely the most clutch player I have ever seen. His team has a rematch with power Bowman Academy in next weeks Semi State.
  14. Hope you enjoyed your trip to the Inferno. Mike finished with 38 points and 15 rebounds.
