Markus Crider - The question with Crider has never been natural talent, rather it has been about his desire and passion to play. On Tuesday Crider showed he is capable of being tough and bringing energy. He threw down a few dunks, scored around the rim, and even hit a few jumpers. In essence his entire skill set, along with a good feel for the game was on display. Now Crider has to prove that he can consistently play like that, but it was a good step in his development to put it on display against top talent.
For Markus Crider Miami-Florida, Marquette, and St. John's have begun to call. They are on the list with schools like Wisconsin, Dayton, Michigan, and DePaul.

Talent has never been in question with Crider, and that was made very clear in the semi-finals. Crider finished above the rim, made plays on defense, hit a jumper, and also scored off the dribble. More than anything he was aggressive and played with passion. When he does that he is a handful, and now he needs to show that fire consistently.
