The hated "rival" of USF, the UCF Golden Knights have picked up a very unique transfer, a home state of one of our bloggers, the Oregon Ducks.
Joshua Crittle, a 6'8" sophomore forward stated on Saturday that he will be transferring to Orlando to join new head coach Donnie Jones. Crittle decided after meeting with the new Oregon head coach Dana Altman that he would have a better career if he left, factoring the Altman's style of coaching and his fear of not having enough playing time for the upcoming season. So who is Josh Crittle? Crittle is a small forward, decent body size and ball handling ability. He is not a pure shooter, more of a drive to the basket type of player that can impose his frame against bigger centers and compete for rebounds. Crittle does have range though but will have to improve his shot in order to become a complete threat on the court. Crittle averaged just 1.9 points this season and 1.3 rebounds a game, battling for playing time and early season knee issues, which have healed now.
Crittle should be a solid player for the Knights, he has two years experience, although he will have to sit out the upcoming season, he will still have 2 years of eligibility left. Crittle will give the Knights a solid shooter and a good strong post presence in the paint that will provide a nice lift for a building program. USF should take note of the Crittle transfer, he could be a person to keep an eye on the next few years because of his ability to create.
