Rebounding-first, high-motor forward who gave TCU reliable minutes
Connell Crossland’s game was built on effort, length, and glass-cleaning—at TCU, he was a 6-foot-7 forward who brought rebounding, physicality, and enough scoring touch to stay on the floor. In his 2012-13 season, he averaged 4.3 points and 4.3 rebounds while shooting 49.1% from the field, and earlier TCU coverage praised him as a length piece who could handle outside matchups and help on the boards. The fit is easy to see: if a team needs toughness, hustle, and low-drama production, he’s the kind of glue guy coaches love.
