Rivals reports NU in race for Crawford
WildcatReport.com (Rivals) reports that Northwestern is a potential destination for 6-9 Casey Crawford (subscription link) from Kansas. Crawford is the Player of the Year in Kansas and would be a HUGE get for Northwestern.
Crawford has received interest in the past from a number of schools, but Wake Forest appears to be the front-runner currently. The spring signing period begins April 12.
From the looks of the posts on message boards and comments to this site, not a lot of fans have any patience with Bill Carmody. But it would be hard not to admit that this year's recruiting class could be one of the best in recent memory if NU lands Crawford to go with Kevin Coble, Jeremy Nash, Jeff Ryan and Nikola Boban.
One thing Carmody can offer with the loss of Vedran Vukusic is immediate playing time on the front line.
Another great thing I've found on a web search is a report from Rivals that Crawford scored a 25 on his ACT and 1580 on his SAT (remember when that was an almost perfect score?).
