The New York City Connec
tion. That’s what the basketball
coaches here seem to have. On
the the First day of signing bas
ketball national letters of intent,
the Aggies signed two more
players from the Big Apple.
Texas A&M signed 6-6 Fred
Burton from New York in No
vember at the early signing
date.
Both new signees are trans
fers and will have two years of
eligibility at Texas A&M. They
will be playing along side New
York natives Todd Holloway
and Darnell Williams.
Reggie Hayes is a 6-8, 235-
pound forward-center from
New York City Technical Col
lege where he averaged 28
points and 15 rebounds this
past season.
Don Marbury is a 6-2 guard
from Farmingdale Junior Col
lege where he averaged 25
points per game, seven re
bounds and seven assists per
game this past season. He was
named to the junior college All-
America team.
Marbury’s coach at Farming-
dale, Joe Pellicane, said Mar
bury will be able to help the Ag
gies right away.
“Don should be able to step
in and make an immediate con
tribution,” Pellicane said.
The coach also said Marbury
doesn’t attract a lot of attention
when he plays.
“Don will have very quiet 30
point games,” Pellicane said,
“You can be looking at the sta
tistics at the end of the game
and suddenly realize he had 30
points. Even though he is a high
scorer, Pellicane said Marbury
isn’t concerned with his scoring
average:
“Don worries about winning,
not about his points.”
Pellicane said Marbury shot
60 percent from the field, a
high percentage for a guard,
and 80 percent from the free
throw line.
The coach described Mar
bury as a “very exciting player
and a good athlete.”
Marbury selected Texas
A&M over two highly regarded
basketball schools, University of
Nevada-Las Vegas and Mar
quette. Pellicane said although
Marbury didn’t make trips to
those schools, he was on their
recruiting lists.
Burton has played the past
year at Brewster Academy in
New Hampshire where he aver
aged 42 points per game He
was an All-City selection during
high school in New York City.
He will have a four years eligibi
lity at Texas A&M.
Elsewhere around the South
west Conference:
Texas Tech Coach Gerald
Myers signed a pair of Dallas-
area high school forwards to na
tional letters of intent Wednes
day to play basketball for the
Red Raiders.
Ed Robinson, of Dallas Kim
ball, and Greg Crowe, of South
Garland, agreed to attend the
Lubbock university.
Robinson, 6-foot-6, averaged
13 points and 13 rebounds a
game in leading Dallas Kimball
to a 35-4 record this past season
and Crowe, 6-5, shot 52 percent
fom the field in averaging 19.6
points and 10 rebounds.
“Both of these types of play
ers are good rebounders and
will help us in that area,” Myers
said. “They are both physical,
strong players and we think
they are two outstanding fresh
men prospects. Basically we re
cruited guards last year and we
need to sign some forward-type
players this year. These two will
fill that need.”
Rice also signed a front-line
player in 6-8 '/a center Dave
Raymer, from Merced (Calif.)
Junior College. Raymer, origi
nally from Washingtonville,

FarmingdaleJC, NY
N Y. Tech. Institute
New Hampshire
N.Y., scored 15.3 points and
grabbed 9.7 rebounds a game
for Merced last year. He will
join the Owls as ajunior.
“He is what we need,” Rice
Coach Tommy Suits said. “He is
a good post player and the most
obvious problem in our pro
gram is the lack of a post player.
His experience should help us.”
Rice signed a pair of high
school seniors last November, as
the early signing date cut down
the number of announced re
cruits across the country
Wednesday.
Houston did not announce
signees Wednesday, but was ex
pected to release some recruits’
names Thursday.
Arkansas signed one player
Wednesday in 6-8 Darrell Scott
from Wynne, Ark., and ex
pected to have another join the
fold Thursday. The Razorbacks
got the verbal agreement from
Stephan Moore, a 6-8 power
forward from Cushing, Okla.
Texas, trying to improve on
back-to-back 22-loss seasons,
went out of state for two re
cruits. The Longhorns got 6-4
guard Kelvin Collins, who
scored 24 points a game for Wa-
terprodf, Iowa; and 6-8 for
ward Douglas Dennis, who av
eraged 23 points a game at
Harrison, Ark.
“He’s a steal,” Waterproof
Coach Willie Woods said of Col
lins. “If he’d been playing at a
larger place he’d have gotten a
lot more attention. He’s a big
kid, but he’s quick and I prom
ise you he can handle a basket
ball.”
Dennis’ coach, Lendall
Thomas, said, “I think he’s
(Dennis) the best player in the
state. He’s a fine, fine prospect.
He’s a very strong, power type
player, but he’s got great hands
and a great shooting touch for a
big guy.”
During the fall signing pe
riod Texas signed 6-5 guard
Myron Lilley of Los Angeles
and 6-foot-2 guard Wayne
Thomas of Columbus, Texas.
Southern Methodist signed
in quantity Wednesday, grab
bing four high school players.
The Mustangs tabbed local
product Terry Thomas, of Dal
las Carter High School. The 6-8
frontliner averaged 15 points
and 16 rebounds last season.
SMU took Houston Clear
Lake High School standout
Glenn Purdy. Purdy, 6-9,
scored more than 21 points a
game last year. Coyle Winborn,
a 6-7 scorer from Pampa, also
agreed to play for Dave Bliss’
Mustangs. Bliss went north to
get Little Rock’s Alan Cozart, a
6-5 player who averaged 20
points a game for McClellan
High School.
SMU also signed Adrian
Caldwell, a 6-7 forward who
scored 17 points and hauled in
18 rebounds a game for Corpus
Christi-West Oso High School.
Caldwell agreed to go lo SMU
last November.
Among those Texas athletes
headed for other states to play
collegiately is Waxahachie’s
Todd Alexander, a 5-1 1 guard,
who agreed to attend the Uni
versity of Minnesota of the Big
Ten Conference. Alexander
scored more than 2,400 points
in high school.
