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.

Crosby came in after Scoochies Sophomore year. Had Crosby panned out he would have been a backup for two years and been "the guy" for two more. With Crutcher, if you can't beat him out you only get 1 year to be "the guy". When you can only play 4 years, 1 year is a big difference.
