Per the Twerps board. Thought some of you might be interested since his recruitment was so closely followed a few years ago.

Yes, going to Bowie State is a step down from Div I ball, but Crews may have made a very shrewd choice for himself. Bowie State has been a competitive Div II team recently, as part of the CIAA conference, the nation's oldest black athletic conference. Schools like Howard and Hampton were members before moving to the MEAC and Div I. The CIAA is renowned, of course, for its legendary conference tournament, which brings together alumni and fans for great bball, flamboyant fashion and non-stop partying. Among others, it's sent Earl Monroe (the original Pearl!) and Ben Wallace to the league. Crews must be betting that he'll be next. Apparently Pitt and UNC-Charlotte were in the mix for Crews before he chose Bowie: www.theciaa.com/sports/mbkb/2008-09/news/080715_bsu_recruitBTW, Bowie's coach, Luke D'Alessio, has strong DC ties. He played at and graduated from Catholic U., began coaching at Good Counsel before returning to his alma mater as an assistant under Jack Bruen. He's been at Bowie since '99 and turned around what had been a struggling program. |

Crews has some SERIOUS OFF COURT issues to address--and when Pitt and Charlotte asked around--sure they got word of it too. He needs his life in order a lot more then just basketball.

Actually--he looked like same guy he was in HS, and he never developed--in part due to his off the court activities and choices. I'm hoping he gets his act together--and then performs on court--because he hasn't shown the behavior of a person who wants to avoid trouble.

Lucky for us that he never came to GU. You could say that, although given our record with guys not getting in trouble you could argue that he might not have fallen this far if he'd been at Georgetown under JTIII's tutelage. |
