graduate as a Coug for life. He's a great representative of the school on and off the court. I wanted to have him around the program in the future as a living legend like Hansen or Cummard. And even if he didn't have the conference accolades those guys did, to see him go to another school for one last year, if that's what happens, just sucks. He's been absolutely critical to this team for 3 years. This would be even worse than the same thing happening with JR and Waterman last year, which was terrible enough.
Losing a FR that didn't get many minutes (like Crawford) is one thing, but losing a senior that's been a major contributor multiple years... I hate it. I'm sorry I feel that way, and maybe he has to do what's best for him, but as a fan it's absolutely horrible. And for the product on the court aspect, it sucks too. We need experience and continuity to succeed at the highest levels.
