Rodney Crawford Joins Marquette Coaching Staff

Marquette just leveled up its coaching staff with the hiring of Rodney Crawford, a defensive maestro with 15 years of experience who led South Alabama to a conference title and national defensive rankings — all while being picked to finish dead last. Shaka Smart is thrilled, calling Crawford a passionate, tough-minded builder of champions, especially on defense. Crawford, a former Cincinnati standout who peaked at No. 5 nationally in his senior year, is eager to bring that championship DNA to Milwaukee. With Jeremy Ballard already on board, Marquette’s new staff is stacked for a big season. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
