I have supported Crosby when most did not, and still do, but Grant is the coach. You support your boss, your coach and your president, or you hit the road.

I think our biggest fear after last season ended was that Crosby was the only one who had a handle to get the ball up court. We weren't sure about the freshman who at that point in time was McKinley Wright. We now have 4 guards that with any combination of two of them can handle the ball. I think you're right about Jordan Davis and while nobody's talking about it, Baby D played the backup PG role in the past and seems to me has improved in that area also. He's got a much stronger handle than previously.
Once you get the ball up court, you need a quarter back and if Crosby can't do that better than the other 3, he's going to be needed less and less.
John Crosby has always been a mystery. There's no doubt he's got the athletics and skills to be a pretty good basketball player, but I keep going back to how he could be backup to Scoochie for two seasons and not have the motivation to work extremely hard and get to be where I'm sure he was projected when Archie Miller signed him. I mean it had to be plain as the nose on his face that much improvement was needed for him to make up even partially for the loss of Scooch, why hasn't it happened? I honestly believe he potentially possesses the same skills as Kevin Dillard and if he can polish those skills, would bring a lot to the table.
