Markel Crawford
Is an absolute non-factor at Ole Miss. They don't even attempt to get him involved. He made a mistake.

RE: Markel Crawford
Honestly, he had a handful of good games last season, but only a handful. He fell off after mid-season. It was funny to me how at one point there was a group of people saying "he is the only future pro on this team".

RE: Markel Crawford
He scored only 4 tonight in their loss to Texas a and m.
Btw, Nick King only had 6 the other night. Maybe I should start a new thread about that.

Flipped over during a commercial & caught the ending of OM - A & M. Rebels has a 3 at the buzzer go halfway down and roll out. Aggies won by 2

As long as OM loses it doesn’t matter how.

RE: Markel Crawford
Markel had injury problems, coaching problems, teammate problems, and after all of that, made a choice that could have gone either way hoping for a new start. I'm sorry it hasn't worked out that well for him. If he had stayed, he probably would've been better off, but very few people realized that at the time. That's the way the ball bounces.

RE: Markel Crawford
Jesus Christ does everyone bash players who transfer? They have their reasons for doing it and if they feel like it’s best for them to move on then they should do it. Just bc Crawford isn’t scoring 20 Pts a game doesn’t mean it was a bad decision for him. Maybe he’s happier now than he was last year. Who knows.

RE: Markel Crawford
Hated to see Markel leave and yeah, it's not for any of us to say whether it was a mistake or not. He had his reasons and followed his heart. From a basketball standpoint, he would've been a huge piece of this Tigers team.

RE: Markel Crawford
OTOH, we are seeing Jamal Johnson developing as a SG. He's young, but I like what I see. And we wouldn't be seeing that if Markel had stayed. As Cal says, "These things have a way of working themselves out."

RE: Markel Crawford
Pookie Powell is averaging over 19 pts per game through 18 games at LaSalle. Woulda been nice to have his offense this year. I watched him score 26 against Duquesne the other night. He averaged 4.3 ppg during his single year here - another example of that famous Pastner player development.

RE: Markel Crawford
Giannotto and Calkins mentioned this on their podcast. Said Markel isn't doing so well - and that it goes to show the grass is not always greener. Just because you leave, it doesn't mean your numbers will go up or you will go to a more successful team. Made me think and research...
Over the past 4 years (when our transfer problem really kicked-in), we've had 17 transfers. 4 of those are currently sitting out, so it's hard to include them in this analysis:
Only 2 of the 13 experienced the NCAA tourney at their new schools - Avery Woodson and Iverson. (Will become 4 of 17 if the Lawsons go to the NCAA with KU next year.)
While 5 actually experienced their only NCAA tourneys at Memphis - Dom Woodson, Damien Wilson, Austin, Pookie, and Nick.
Only 3 experienced abnormal leaps in (D1) stats at their new schools. Wilson, Pookie, and Nick (just this year). Maybe you include Kuran, although we didn't get a good look during his (only) frosh year.
Only 3 of the 17 landed at traditionally strong programs - Austin and the Lawsons.
While 4 transferred out of D1 altogether - Rykhoek, Marshall, Cunningham, Hawkins.
Indeed, there are always a lot of factors in play with transfers. And it has become easier and acceptable to transfer. But there is a story here for some of these kids who think it will solve all their problems.

Markel is playing against tougher competition. Boot Lockers told me.

Has nothing to do with anything (other than your affinity to the SEC). The point about Markel was it supposedly was to improve his NCAA chances, and that has not happened.
Personally, I don't care. Wish he had stayed, but I'm not going to judge based on how the season ended and the transition in the program. Just pointing out the MG and GC are correct - the grass is not always greener, so think hard.

So the FACT that his numbers are down and that in most of his games he is playing against better players than he played against last year 'Has nothing to do with anything'. That shows a very low IQ, a very low level ability to turn data into information and the inability to live in the real world. I hope you didn't graduate from Memphis. That would be a disgrace to the University.
