"John Crosby (Team Melo 2014) – A big, physical point guard at 6’2” Crosby has an amazing feel for the game. He makes great decisions with the ball never panicking under pressure and seemingly always finding the open man. Crosby used smarts and a quick first step to get into the lane repeatedly and once there used a soft floater to score over the top of rotating bigs. Passing is always his first choice though and his drive and kick outs for 3 point attempts were the best offense for Team Melo in their afternoon win."

TEAM MELO’S JOHN CROSBY GAINING INTEREST
Baltimore’s Poly High School is not a traditional hotbed for high major recruits, but make no mistake about it, Class of 2014 guard John Crosby is a sure-fire high major prospect.
“I got Kansas State, Ohio State, North Carolina, Rutgers, Miami, a lot of Big East schools,” said Crosby on his interest from schools. “South Florida offered.”
Back in June Crosby took an unofficial visit to North Carolina and the interest from the Tar Heel program has him only working harder.
“That made me feel good,” said Crosby on hearing from UNC. “I just got to keep working hard, so it can be an offer one day and so I can be able to go to the school. It’s a great school and a great area.”
Poly HS is a great academic high school in Baltimore and Crosby is a tremendous student-athlete. He understands what it takes to play and succeed at the highest level and he will work hard to give himself every opportunity to make it happen.
“I just play hard and do whatever my coach needs me to do,” he said. “I’m a point guard who passes first. I’m a bigger guard so I can get it into the post and post some little guards up. I’m working on my jumper. I want to be able to do a pull up to make the game easier and just get my teammates involved. ”
