Recruits dribble, spike, field way to A&M
Two out-of-state cage talents sign on Metcalfs dotted line
By CHAREAN WILLIAMS
Assistant Sports Editor
Wednesday came and Wednesday
vent, just like any other day. Only
or the Texas A&M sports teams the
ty was a little more special than just
iny old day.
Wednesday was recruiting day for
tvery sport except volleyball and
botball. It was the day when high
droolers officially commit four
'ears of their life to an institution.
For the Ags, the signees came
fribbling in. A few in the morning.
4 few in the afternoon. Maybe a few
next week.
I Shelby Metcalfs Aggie men’s bas
ketball team signed two out-of-state
ayers, but they hope that won’t be
|he extent of their efforts.
Guard Steve Vandiver, a 6-foot-5
llegheny Community College of
Pittsburgh player, signed his name
to Metcalfs dotted line. The Ags
then went coast-to-coast, from east
to west, to get their second signee.
Forward John Tresvuant, a 6-7 City
of San Francisco Community Col
lege product, was the second to sign.
“They both have good personaliti-
tes,” Metcalf said. “Basketball is im-
f iortant to both and they both came
rom good programs. I am very
happy with the two we have.”
Both have a shot at a starting posi
tion next season, especially since the
Ags have lost leading scorer Kenny
Brown.
“There is a possibility (that they
could start next season),” Metcalf
said. “The 6-7 player is an all-pur
pose player. He definitely has a
chance to play. He can play either
the perimeter or the high post.
“The other player, Vandiver, is a
perimeter player and shooter. I
think he could be Kenny’s replace
ment. You know, I’ve been watching
game films from last season and that
Kenny Brown is going to be hard to
replace. He was a great player. But,
Vandiver is a fine shooter. TCU,
SMU and Houston all play a zone
defense. You have to have those
zone busters hitting from the outsi
de.”
Vandiver averaged 14.5 points
and five rebounds a game at Alle
gheny. He was named to the first-
team All-Section team in Pennsylva
nia. Vandiver’s coach said the Aggies
are getting an excellent guard.
“Steve is a big-time guard who has
physically matured since he came
here,” said Coach Bill Shay. “He has
built himself up to the point where
we can call him a big guard. He han
dles the ball well and is a great
passer. With the combination of
zones teams play today, teams need
the kind of shooter that will force
these zones to extend themselves.”
Tresvuant averaged 22 points per
game in Golden Gate Conference
play and 18.9 points for the season
by shooting 54 percent from the
floor and 76 percent from the free
throw line. He also pulled down
eight rebounds per game.
Tresvuant received numerous
awards for his play including the
unanimous selection as Most Valu-
ickey’s eager talent hunt ends
ith four inked onto lean lineup

& FALL!
i
sition
By CHAREAN WILLIAMS
Assistant Sports Editor
The Texas A&M basketball
vomen weren’t fat to begin with, so
had nothing to lose on the recruit-
bg trail. However, on the first day
oi inkings, the women are a little fat
her and are expected to become
^tuch fatter within a matter of days.
Coach Lynn Hickey officially
|dcked off her first recruiting day at
\&M with perhaps the best recruit
ing list ever in the 12 years of the
vomen’s program.
Four signees, two from Texas and
j|wo from California, improved the
looks of the A&M roster for next
leason.
Signed on the dotted line were: 6-
bot-3 post Debbie Lorenzen from
ridley Calif., 6-3 post Lisa Jordan
rom Ukiah, Calif., 5-8 guard Donna
Roper from Houston Yates and 5-11
forward Veronda Roundtree.
“To land two big players such as Debbie (Lorenzen) and
Lisa (Jordan), in one recruiting season, is a big step for
ward for our program. ,, — A&M Women’s Basketball
Coach Lynn Hickey on her two California recruits
The first two to sign were the Cali
fornians.
“Those two young ladies have real
good size and we feel they have a
bright future,” Hickey said. “They
have not reached their full potential
as of yet, but they are young players
and will be able to help out immedi
ately. To land two big players such as
Debbie and Lisa, in one recruiting
season, is a big step forward for our
program.”
Lorenzen averaged 18 points and
11 rebounds per game at Gridley
High last season. She was selected
Most Valuable Player of her league,
was a two-time All-League player
and was selected to the North State
All-Tournament team in the Califor
nia playoffs.
Almost 100 schools contacted Jor
dan after she was named MVP of
her league, the Bay Region and
Player of the Year in her area. She
averaged 16 points and 12 rebounds
at Ukiah High.
Roper’s ties to A&M probably in
fluenced her decision. Brother,
John, is a linebacker on the Aggie
football team. She was voted All-Dis
trict, All-Houston and was named
the Houston Chronicle’s Player of
the Year after averaging 18 points
per game.
“We are pleased to continue the
Roper connection at A&M,” Hickey
said. “She is one of the finest athletes
in the whole state.”

able Player in the conference and JC
Co-MVP for all of California. Coach
Brad Duggan said Tresvuant can
play anywhere on the floor.
“He is the most versatile player
we’ve ever had here,” Duggan said.
“He’s very quick and fast for a kid
that tall.”
Metcalf felt the Ags were on the
right track with the two signees, but
he’s hoping for more. One of the
players he is still after is believed to
be Texas’ top recruit — Conroe Mc
Cullough’s Lance Blanks. However,
every major college in the nation is
after Blanks and he has supposedly
narrowed his choices to St. John’s,
Virginia and North Carolina with
Kentucky entering the race.
The other two that A&M wants
are believed to be John Roberson
and Tadd Thomas, both San Anto
nio products. Roberson, a 6-8 South
west High School player, was the sec
ond leading scorer in the city. Alamo
Heights’ 6-8 Thomas edged Rober
son for the scoring title by averaging
25 points per game.
“I’m happy with the two we have,
but I would like to sign three more,”
Metcalf said. “If we can’t get what we
want we’ll just settle for these two.
Recruiting is very competitive this
year. The three we’re after will not
announce for at least another week.
“With the two we’ve got, our re
cruiting year is good. If we get one
of the other three it will be better. If
we get two, it will be outstanding. If
we get all three, it will be the best
year ever at A&M.”
A 23.1 scoring average, seven re
bound average, District 10-AAAA
MVP award, and All-District, All-Re
gion and All-State honors attracted
A&M coaches to Roundtree.
“Veronda rectlly has a pretty
shot,” said Hickey. “We had heard
that she was the best athlete in the
immediate area and we were pleased
with what we saw.”
Hickey, like Metcalf and many
other coaches across the nation, is
hoping for more and she will proba
bly get more.
All-State forward Tami Rogers of
Barbers Hill appears to be close to
committing to the Ags as is Tamara
Jackson of Odessa Junior College.
The Ags are also in the running for
eight other prospects, a few of whom
will probably sign.
So, after the first recruiting day at
A&M for Hickey, she can sleep well.
The program is going in the right di
rection. Tonight, she can dream
about the signees that remain.
Oklahomans sign
with softball team
By CHAREAN WILLIAMS
Assistant Sports Editor
" All the Texas A&M softball team had was a fat roster.
Eighteen of the best players in the nation currently claim spots in
A&M’s line-up. When you’re one of the best softball programs in the na
tion, you don’t need much. So, the Ags signed just two recruits to con
tinue their superstar tradition next season.
Losing only three players off a team currently ranked No. 3 in the
nation, A&M Coach Bob Brock only needed two players — a catcher to
replace All-America Gay McNutt and an outfielder to replace Iva Jack-
son and Josie Carter. McNutt, Jackson and Carter all graduate after the
’85 season.
Brock filled both spots with one trip.
Signed were 5-foot-8 catcher Carrie Heightly and 5-7 outfielder Erin
Newkirk, both from Putnam City West High School in Oklahoma City.
Heightly is an All-State performer in both softball and basketball and
was one of the most highly recruited players in the nation.
“She was recruited by most of the top schools in the nation,” said
A&M Assistant Coach Shan McDonald. “She will really help us out. It will
be hard to replace Mac (McNutt), but I think she will come in and do well
for us.
“Carrie’s really a good all around player. She is fast and is consistant
at the plate.”
Newkirk, according to McDonald, is “a gift” considering what the
Ags had to offer her.
“She is a good all around player,” McDonald said. “She knew she
wanted to come here. She is steady at the plate.”
The Ags do have their sights set on possibly signing a few other pros
pects, but for now the Ags can only feel “Okie” dokey.
