MEMORIAL STUDENT CENTER
OPERA AND PERFORMING ARTS SOCIETY
playing in front of large crowds
in a slick, modern arena. What is
there here to tells him not to go
play in Austin at the Frank Er
win Center?
A&M has taken care of that
question with its plans to build
the 14,500-seat Special Events
Center supposed to be ready for
the 1993-94 season.
Former A&M head basketball
coach Kermit Davis freely ad
mitted during the season he and
his staff waved pictures of the
new arena in front of recruits'
faces. He wanted to let them
know that they would play at
least part of their careers in the
new arena.
Parallels between the school's
football and basketball programs
can be drawn here.
R. C. Slocum took over as
A&M's head football coach two
years ago, and put the team's
troubled past behind him by set
ting his sights on the positive
things about A&M that he could
use to build his team.
Slocum had Kyle Field to show
potential recruits, and the tradi
tion of the 12th Man standing in
it. The image of 72,000 filled
seats usually helps sway re
cruits.
The new arena will do the
same for the basketball team's
future coach.
Slocum can attribute a lot of
the success of his teams to one of
the best recruiting staffs in the
nation.
Tim Cassidy, A&M's recruit
ing coordinator for football since
1989, assembled a recruiting
team that scoured the nation to
find the players that will win
games for Slocum and the Ag
gies.
Cassidy and his staff were re
sponsible for a recruiting class
ranked second in the nation last
year and close to the top again
this year.
He has been ranked by the
Sporting News as one of the na
tion's top 10 recruiters three
times. Too bad he can't spread
that wealth over to the basketball
program.
A new coach that comes to
A&M will have to develop an or-
/ru
ganized gameplan when it
comes to recruiting, and turn it
into the science that Cassidy has
for the football team.
But what might be most im
portant is the fact that a recruit
wants to know he is going to be
able to play before he arrives.
A stable and clean program
will assure him that when he
walks out onto the field or court
each game, he doesn't have to
worry about the NCAA taking
the ball away.
Slocum has established a cred
ible program and reinstilled in
tegrity to his position.
His no-nonsense philosophy
has shown his players and the
A&M community alike that he
wants to lead the Aggies to the
promised land with academically
and socially stable athletes.
Davis battled ineligibility and
disciplinary problems through
out his one-year tenure, keeping
him from implementing the
plans he thought would win
games for the A&M basketball
team.
Now the athletic department
must find a new basketball coach
and instill confidence in its fu
ture recruits that the team is on
its way to bigger things.
Good recruiting can happen
for A&M b^ketball, it just takes
time to put together the nec
essary ingredients.
