Former Indiana G Crawford transfers to Xavier

Jul 28, 2008 - 5:13 PM CINCINNATI (Ticker) -- Former University of Indiana guard Jordan Crawford transferred to Xavier University on Monday, signing a scholarship agreement with the Musketeers.

Crawford played in 30 games for the Hoosiers last season as a freshman, averaging 9.7 points and 3.4 rebounds in 25 minutes per game.

Due to transfer rules Crawford will have to sit out next season, but the Detroit native has three years of eligibility remaining.

"Jordan Crawford is an exceptionally talented player," Xavier coach Sean Miller said. "He is extremely versatile, which will allow him to play with numerous combinations of players on the floor. He is also a great competitor that has proven himself against the best competition at the highest level of college basketball."

The 6-4 guard announced last month that he was leaving Indiana, which has endured multiple changes to its coaching staff and roster following the departure of Kelvin Sampson this past February. The Hoosiers do not have one returning starter and have only one returning scholarship player.
