Moving On

Matriculation Factory

In the Croy Era 

 

Since Citrus College Head Coach Rick Croy took over the Fighting Owls four short years ago, the Citrus College men's basketball program has moved on over twenty players to the next level, including eight to NCAA Division I schools. Players have gone on to lead their new schools to National Championships (Nate Richardson), play in the NCAA Tournament (Tron Smith, JR Buensuceso), earn All-Conference honors (Aaron Arango), All-American honors (Phil Friesen), and contribute to those institutions on and off the floor. The following is a list of those players, and where they ended up.
