Just to be clear. No one said, "With Crutcher running the point what right thinking point guard would consider coming to UD?" Certainly someone might come to UD or Richmond or VCU under that circumstance. It just makes recruiting a PG harder, because most will not. Exhibit A, who did we land to back up Scoochie?

Not that it matters the Pittsburgh papers say they are both point guards and indicated that Rivals had stated that the guard with three stars was ranked 42nd point guard in the 2018 class.
As far as not recruiting with Scoochie, this just is not true. Crosby may not have turned out to be what he was hoped to be but at the time of his recruitment he was highly regarded. Mention was made of him being mentioned as a McDonalds All America and Maryland was said to be actively recruiting him. That he did not live up to his recruiting reputation is a risk you take with every player. It might be one reason coaches don't stop recruiting when they have five players.
Another poster indicated that maybe the potential recruit is scared off because he sees politics in that Crutcher is AG's man. I do not know what evidence there is for this. At point guard last year Crutcher was not AG's man rather he was AG's only man. AG had no other options.
No one on this board has been negative toward Crutcher and any UD fan can only hope that he continues to develop and becomes a great player. But a point guard on a mediocre ball team who averaged under 10 points a game while playing over thirty minutes a game is unlikely to strike fear into the hearts of any potential Point Guard that AG may be recruiting.
And saying he was great because he was a freshman and did what he did is not quite accurate or even fair to Crutcher. It does not show that he was a great point guard but does give us hope that he will become a great point guard.
