Chipotle was originally a McDonald's start-up. Guess they kept the low cost goal

Hall is a better PG than some fans give him credit. He'll provide great mentorship for Crawford but easily stay #1.

Interesting point. You can basically have as many players as you want as long as the NIL money is there.

Elijah Crawford looks like the guards in the B12 that gave BYU fits last year.

jvr7 All-American

2:28pm

He’s got some Jamal Shead in him

arizonacougarfan

2:34pm

Not sure I see that. Jamal is a great defender with holes in his offensive game. Crawford may struggle, at least at

Yes

I sure hope so, because these days that's about all a school gets from a guy

macdizzle

2:23pm

If he can defend and not turn the ball over he will get backup minutes over Trey

fulano

2:23pm

Yes. He will be the backup PG — & could very possibly force Dallin to play some off guard.

SinkingQuffa

4 star players absolutely play right away in college Bball

arizonacougarfan

It's likely going to depend on his defense. His offense looks ready.
