Some kenpom facts. And yes acknowledge 7 games is a small sample size. But Crutcher is off to a promising start (even though I personally would like him to stop shooting the floater and stop gunning 3s from 25 feet). Crutcher is ahead of Scoochie at this point during their Freshman years. Crutches is ahead of Crosby's best year. Crutcher is behind McKinley Wright (but right now McKinley Wright as a Freshman is ahead of Scoochie's senior year, again acknowledging small sample size).
BTW, the 103 Crutcher offensive rating versus Miss St. is objectively a good Freshman PG game. Yes 5 TOs and 0 assists, but offset by 2 steals, 3 rebounds, 18 points on 2/3 from 2, 4/8 from 3, and 2/2 FT.
Crutcher has an offensive rating of 94.2 through 7 games with the last three games being 124 Arkron, 117 Auburn, and 103 Miss St. (brought down by TOs and lack of assists, but still a good rating).
Scoochie had an offensive rating of 85.1 through 7 games his freshman year (after taking out IPFW and St. Francis PA as did not have offensive rating for IPFW and had a zero for St. Francis so this 85.1 is generous to Scoochie). Also for the year, Scoochie had a 89.5 offensive rating. Last 7 games of the year he had a 85.9 (admittedly versus better competition and not including St. Joe's A-10 where he did not have an offensive rating).
McKinley Wright has a 115.1 through 7 games (Scoochie's best year was senior year at 113.4, junior year at 110.1, sophomore at 102.7, and again freshman at 89.5).
Crosby this year is at 88.1 offensive rating trending down, sophomore year at 75.7 and freshman year at 76.5.
