At the time I felt like Crutcher was a good get for that late in the recruiting period, but he exceeded all of my expectations.
He made Freshman mistakes, but made significant improvements as the season went on. He will continue to grow and become a guy that takes care of the ball and shoots 40% from 3. I'll take a guy like that to run our offense any day of the week.

MNFats: I think Crutcher exceeded all of our expectations. I do believe he needs to get stronger to be able to penetrate into the lane more effectively. But that is something that will come with time. I think his ball security was outstanding.
