Assuming Kyle King, Chris Owens, Brent Bach and Austin Crawford are the 4 best recent players in the Robertson/Augusta/Bracken/St Pat rivalry, i'm comfortable saying Crawford will end up being better than the other 3 combined.

 

I think this statement is a little out there, King and Owens were very solid players, and I can see Austin being as good as them, but personally I think Brent was on a whole different level than any of the before mentioned.

Must not have stood next to him recently. I'm saying 6'3 pushing 6'4

 

It hasn't been that long. Hard to say for sure, but kids/coaches tend to round up ... I'm going to stay with my 6'1", 6'2" estimate unless I see proof otherwise. Bracken County Maxpreps roster lists 6'3", don't really trust that. I will try to get a gauge next time I see him

Ledger Independent's Article on Austin scoring his 2000th point.

 

Crawford scores 2,000th point for Polar Bears

And I'm pretty positive that the picture they used is from his freshman year.

The kid is on pace to score 3000+ pts. Any player in my book that can conquer that achievement is considered "elite" to me.

He shoots enough. At a better program he would be another player.

You don't choose the program, the program chooses you. He still has another year with his teammates. What better program could you want? Hinson, a good supporting cast; if it's not broke don't fix it.

Poor assessment!

 

IF he is "just another player" in another program, smite us with several just like him.

 

Place Austin Crawford on any of the top 6-8 teams in the region and they immediately vault to Number 1. He is that good.

Can't say the program would sore to number 1 because it wouldn't just be about Crawford. It be a role to play with 4 others, on this team he is he team. In 14 games 243 shoots, 125 free throws and made 9/44 3s. In any of the top 4 programs in the region do you think he would have gotten as many shots? NO...... He's good but look at the real picture. Where would he fit at with Paris, Campbell, Mason, Montgomery, GRC..... They all have players that can do what he does.

I seen a quote the other day that might fit this assessment pretty well.

 

Carolina Panther Cornerback Josh Norman: "If you don't got haters, you ain't poppin'"

No hating here Coach

SMH .... seriously, shaking my head at this post

Keep shaking, he's a 1 man show at Bracken. At the program's I mentioned he be playing a role and not the go to guy. True facts but you must not know basketball. So shake your head.

Did you see him play AAU this past season?

I'm gonna go with a big ole negatory on this one.

I have watched this young man over a dozen times over his career. He is smooooth, and he penetrates so easily it can camouflauge how good he is. Deceptively quick with a very soft shot from 15 feet in. Only average from three and his free throw accuracy could be better in the 4th. Hinson's challenge all year has been to get the support cast from watching in awe. The only player in the 10th I might take before him is Dontae Allen of Pendleton Co.
