McCrary, a 6'7" 230-pound power forward with excellent shooting skills, played
in 23 games as a junior at SEMO. He averaged 2.7 points in 10 minutes of action.
McCrary shot 48 percent from the field, 39 percent from 3-point territory and 76
percent from the free throw line. He has the ability to stretch defenses with
his 3-point shooting range. The son of former Belleville East coach Doug
McCrary, young Eric will have one more year of eligibility remaining.
McCrary is the third Division I transfer to join Lindenwood's program this
spring. He joins former St. Charles West standout guards Kramer Soderberg (Miami
of Ohio) and Alex Bazzell (UMKC) at LU. Also in the fold for the Lions is 6'6"
power forward Garrett Reeg of Oakville, giving the Lions a nice group of local
athletes. A fifth player headed to LU is guard Michael Boos from Madision, Wisc.
