Markel Crawford, who announced he was leaving Memphis after graduating in May, has announced that he has committed to Ole Miss and will indeed transfer to Ole Miss according to Scout’s Ben Garrett. The shooting guard, who could potentially play the two or the three for Andy Kennedy, will be immediately eligible to play in Oxford as a graduate transfer.
Crawford averaged 12.8 points in just over 30 minutes per game as a redshirt junior, but his shooting percentage (48 percent) from the field and length (6’5) is even more enticing. Andy Kennedy’s offense needs someone to help shoulder the load of replacing Sebastian Saiz and Crawford is another outstanding athlete who will join Deandre Burnett, Terence Davis, Cullen Neal and Breein Tyree in the backcourt.
