Jordan Crawford isn’t returning to Xavier.

According to sources close to the situation, Crawford, who led the Atlantic 10 in scoring this past season, will sign with an agent — likely Mark Bartelstein — and forgo his final two years of eligibility.

The 6-foot-4 Crawford averaged 20.5 points, 4.7 rebounds and 2.9 assists per game this past season as Xavier went to the Sweet 16.

It was Crawford’s first season playing at Xavier after transferring in from Indiana — where he averaged 9.7 points per game as a freshman under Kelvin Sampson.

Crawford, according to multiples league sources, is likely a first-round pick in the June 24 NBA draft.
