Scholarships have traditionally been a 1 year, renewable thing. Most schools automatically renewed the scholarship as long as there were no issues with the student-athlete and the student-athlete wanted to return. Some schools have started making all 4 years guaranteed up front, but that is not an NCAA requirement. If CAG didn't want to give him a 4th year, he is not legally required to, however if Crosby really wants to return next year and hasn't caused CAG or the school any headaches, they would most likely honor that 4th year.
Assuming he's engaged in both the class room and the court, you could do a lot worse than John Crosby as your 12th man. With Crutcher and Cohill, you'd probably be hard pressed to get a senior graduate transfer of note to fill that 12th man roll.
