A four year starter at Southwest Florida Christian, Aiden Crume has had plenty of opportunity to showcase his game to potential recruiters.
The 3-point specialist is seeing a bevy of interest from NAIA and Division III programs from all over the country.
“I picked up some interest this summer from Birmingham Southern, I’m also listed as a top prospect for Albion University in Michigan. I’ve heard from Crown College in Minnesota, and I’m taking a visit in October to Hannibal LaGrange University (MO) and Greenville College (IL). I also have interest from Taylor University up in Indiana.”
“I have no offers right now, but hopefully once I get these visits down and I understand what the process is I can move closer to potential offers,” said Crume.
“Right now I would probably say Greeneville College and Albion are most interested, they really want me to come up and visit to campuses, as well as Crown, they are really pushing for me to come and visit. I would say those are the three that are pursuing me the most.”
The 6-foot-1 shooting guard spent his spring and summer playing with Fort Myers-based program Showtime Boys.

The 6-foot-1 shooting guard spent his spring and summer playing with Fort Myers-based program Showtime Boys.
“I really was able to focus on what I need to improve more. My strength as a player is I’m a great 3-point shooter, but my weaknesses are getting to the bucket. All offseason I’ve been up early in the morning just working on creating my own shot and just becoming a complete player,” said Crume.
“I’ve been playing a lot of pickup ball lately, and I think that me getting to the bucket is a lot better and I feel like that will be a great addition to my game. And I feel like a lot of people will see me doing that more this year.”
As he embarks on his fourth year as a starting guard with the Kings, he says his leadership will be critical to the team’s success.
“From my 9th to 11th grade year I just saw myself as a role player. I started all three years but I really was always playing for the seniors. But this year I’m one of only four returning varsity players, and I’m really going to take on the role of being the team leader,” said Crume.
“As a player I just need to put myself in that leadership position. I need to make sure I’m a positive influence for the younger guys on and off the court.”
