Dave Reynolds recruiting column

[Da Coach]

There is an article today by Dave Reynolds about the pro careers of the Always a Brave members - But it contains an error...
he says...
"Ruffin’s Bradley teammate, Crouch, the Pekin native who also graduated in ’08 and didn’t played pro ball at all"

Yes, I am not sure how that could have been missed. Dave has followed Bradley closely for almost 3 decades.
It is well documented that Jeremy Crouch played the 2008-2009 season with the New Yorker Phantoms of Braunschweig, Germany in the Budesliga (the top pro league in Germany) and Will Franklin was on the same team.
Here is an article done by CentralIllinoisProud.com (WMBD) from 2008. Maybe the PJ Star missed this?-

After that season, Jeremy was hired as Bradley's Director of Basketball Operations. Here is an article from BradleyBraves.com that mentions his professional season in Germany in 2008-09-

I also found this column by Dave Reynolds back in 2008 when he reported that Jeremy Crouch was signed to play in Germany-

Jeremy Crouch will get a great chance to bring his history (and teaching) degree from Bradley to life when he heads to Germany in about a week.
