College
Crocker burst onto the scene at the University of Oklahoma where he was named to the starting lineup in his first collegiate game under new Oklahoma head coach Jeff Capel III. He scored 15 points in his first game and took off from there for the Sooners with several dunks over his freshman season. He ended his debut season at Oklahoma averaging 8.6 points and 3.7 rebounds per game. Near the end of the season he began to become comfortable at the collegiate level and the Sooners will rely upon him heavily in 2008-09 to take the team to the next level.
