TAlleyes will be on senior forward Claude Riley, who made the ail-SWC squad last year and could be among the nation’s best lunders. Riley averaged 16.3 points and 10.2 rebounds a Jme last year. Bhe Aggies will also benefit from the return of 6-7 forward Roy jfues, who missed much of last season with an injury. Veteran lards Tyren Naulls and Reggie Roberts will also be back to add ifength out front. getcalf expressed concern about a lack of depth at the forward isition, but he said junior transfer Lowell McHenry, 6-6, could ielpsolve that problem. e'Hc’s (McHenry) a good enough jumper that he can back up iaude (Riley) and he’s quick enough to play the small forward,” ietcalf said. pTHe potentially has the physical ability to really help us.” ■Metcalf said he’ll go with the experience at the guard positions, ping Roberts, Naulls and sophomore Gary Lewis. But he said ieshmen Kenny Brown and Doug Lee could see some action and lifdefinitely help in the depth category. I Brown, a 6-4 guard from Memphis, Tenn., averaged 18 points ftgame in high school, and is described by Metcalf as a good (outside shooter. Lee, a 6-4 freshman from Washington, Ill., who averaged an impresive 27 points a game during his high school Jor season, is another good outside shooter, Metcalf said. Metalf said he expects this season’s Aggies to be an improved lam over last year, with extra height at the outside positions that enable him to use a three-guard offense occasionally for h purposes. The Aggies used the three-guard offense last year after Jones (kit the starting lineup against Houston. But Metcalf said that en with Jones back, the extra guard will help take up the slack for the lack of depth at forward. The Aggies' non-conference schedule includes perennial pow ers Marquette and Louisiana State on the road as well as some iflcompetition in the Great Alaska Shootout, which begins Nov. if with the Aggies taking on Clemson. | The coach also said the SWC will be a tougher neighborhood to lla|in, with Houston starting the season in the top 10 and TCU, (Texas Tech, SMU and Baylor all having a good recruiting year. Alt’s a neighborhood brawl when you get in the conference,” Metcalf said. t the MSC ARTS COMMITTEE presents NTSU 1 o’clock Lab Band £ 6 INTERVIEWING ON CAMPUS for JUNIOR EXECUTIVES Enjoy your job and spare time too! | SALARY: Starts $20,000 to $27,000 increasing annually to $31,500 40,000 in four years.
