new supporting cast around him.
A large part of this team’s success will lie with
two newcomers at the point guard position. Junior
college transfer Bobby Leach and freshman Acie
Law IV will see time at the point.
Leach’s style is to control the offense and work
the ball to the open man while Law provides a
good change of pace with a faster, penetrate-and-
dish style of play. Both will kill opponents on the
scoreboard as well if teams decide to defend the
pass too heavily.
“With both of those guys you see something
different,” Wright said. “Bobby is more of a con
trol type of point guard, he’s more mature. Acie is
a more exciting player. Both of those guys are
going to bring change in the game.”
Another area where new starters will have to
step up is in the front court. The Aggies had
problems last season keeping up on the boards
against Big 12 opponents. Returning seniors
Andy Slocum and Jesse King will have to con-

hopes to repeat the defensive success of last year
“We expect to be the best defensive team in the
league,” Williams said. “We want to lead the con

trol the paint for the Aggies to be successful in
the rugged Big 12.
Keep an eye on sophomore Luis Clemente and
freshman Marlon Pompey coming off the bench
for Slocum and King. Clemente served as a partial
qualifier last season, able to practice with the team
but ineligible to participate in games. He
impressed coaches and teammates in Italy by
averaging a double-double in scoring and
rebounding during the team’s five games.
“It’s real exciting (to finally play in games),”
Clemente said. “I want to work hard and help
my team.”
With depth and talent at each position, A&M
seems to finally have the pieces in place to make
a run at the top six of the Big 12 for the first time
since the inception of the conference in 1996. A
top six finish would almost guarantee the Aggies
of their first postseason appearance in more
than a decade.
“I just like what this team represents right
now and the work ethic they’re giving up,”
Watkins said. “I think our fans are going to like
what they see.”
Williams was one of the top point guards in the
nation last season, leading the Big 12 in steals and
becoming the fifth Big 12 player to record more
than 800 points and 500 assists. She was a member
of the USA Basketball World University Games
Team that traveled to South Korea this summer.
The Aggies will travel to the Bahamas Nov. 28 to
play two games before returning to College Station
to face Arkansas-Little Rock Dec. 3.Pg.
