Illinois Prep Bullseye wrote on Sunday that Naperville Central guard Drew Crawford is one of six players who could break out this spring and summer. Roy and Harv weren't overly effusive with the praise, but did say that Crawford's club team Illinois Warriors would provide a schedule that will "fully maximize all of his strengths."
While others are much higher on Crawford than we are at this point, that does not mean that we think that Crawford isn't capable of being a terrific college player. He is long and athletic, plays with a high degree of energy, is an outstanding mid-range scorer and while he is streaky from beyond the arc, he undoubtedly has range.
The other players on the list were Seneca's Seth Evans, Lake Zurich's Connor Mooney, North Lawndale's John Taylor, Mundelein sophomore Ben Brust and D.J. Cooper of Chicago Hales Franciscan.
City/Suburban Hoops report named Crawford and Waubonsie Valley's Jelani Johnson to its Top 50 College Prospects list on April 5.
