Joe Crawford, the 6-foot-4, 205-pound shooting guard from Renaissance High School in Detroit, MI., has trimmed his list of schools and only seven remain. The Oregon coaching staff is scheduled to conduct an in-home visit with Crawford on Monday, September 29. Once that visit is complete, the Detroit sharpshooter will start to schedule some official visits. Crawford will likely visit the Kentucky Wildcats for his second official visit.

“Oregon is coming to my house on Monday night for an in-home visit,” Crawford said. “I will schedule my visit to Kentucky once the in-home with Oregon is complete. Oregon is the only school that has not been to my house yet, so it looks like this will be the final in-home visit.

“Kentucky is one school that will definitely receive an official visit from me,” he added. “I plan on taking the rest of my visits, but I don’t know what other schools I will visit for sure. All the schools are pretty much even right now, but I have taken Notre Dame off my list of schools.”

It is believed that Crawford will eventually recommit to the Michigan Wolverines. The coaching staff has been supportive of Crawford during this time, which has made the recruiting process a lot easier on the Michigan native.

“Coach Amaker has been very supportive during this time,” Crawford said. “They just want me to be happy with the decision I make. The coaching staff has not rushed me into making a decision and they have not put pressure on me. They just want the best for me.”
