While we wait for some info about why they parted ways, we ought to look at how the team's other highly rated players are faring, and the coach, before judging Cross. Maybe Larranaga is the bigger problem when you consider how some of his recruits are doing.

24/7 had:Harlond Beverly(Sophomore), 4 star, as the National #54 and #9 CG;
               Earl Timberlake (Freshman), 4 star, as the National #35 and #7 SG;
              Matt Cross (Freshman), 4 star,  as the National #93 and #20 SF

They're all playing close to the same minutes and averaging around 7 points, but Beverly as a sophomore has awful shooting percentages compared toTimberlake and Cross.

24/7 on Cross: strong build and is effective in traffic. Much more of a productive player than an explosive athlete. Combo forward type who rebounds well, shoots well and can play on the wing or in high post. Adequate ball handler and passer. Smart defender who has versatility, although he is not the quickest defender.
