Crockett was drawing high-level recruiting interest as both a basketball and football prospect prior to sustaining a knee injury this past fall on the football field. He returned for the final five regular season contests and the playoffs, averaging 14.8 points in those games. Crockett chose the Lions over basketball interest from Boston University and a football offer from Dartmouth. He is the sixth high schooler to commit to Columbia this year, giving Jones an infusion of youth after graduating six seniors, four of whom started this past season.
Dartmouth announced its 2008 men’s basketball recruiting class, and Herve Kouna Metsam from the Caterbury School in Connecticut was among the five names.

He joins two guards (Jabari Trotter and Kirk Crecco), a wing (David Rufful), and another post player (Josh Riddle) in Terry Dunn’s fourth recruiting class.
