THE OUTLOOK OF 1980-81
BASKETBALL
With the loss of consen
sus All-America Ricky
Mahorn (27.6 ppg and
15.6 rpg) to the
Washington Bullets,
Hampton Institute coach
Hank Ford knew he had
to find a replacement for
the 6' 10" center.
So Ford came up with
University of Southern
Cal transfer Leonel Mar
quetti and suddenly Pirate
fans are talking about
another twenty-win
f,. mi
season. Marquetti was
named to virtually every
high school All-America
team and averaged 7.2
points for the Trojans last
year. The 6-7, 210 pound
junior has a measured ver
tical jump of 42 inches
(the same as David
Thompson) and Ford ex
pects Marquetti to earn a
starling position.
The Pirates return four
starters from last year's
21-10 team that won the
NA1A District 19 crown
and made an appearance
in the NAIA National
Torunament in Kansas Ci
ty, Mo. The Pirates also
advanced to the semifinals
of the Central Inter
collegiate Athletic
Association (CIAA) tour
nament before bowing
out.
This year's outlook is
optimistic since Ford can
count on returnees Darryl
Warwick and Greg
"Dunkin"' Hines. Both
earned AU-CIAA and All
NAIA District 19 honors a
year ago. The flashy War
wick averaged 15.9 points
(Conliiiued on Page 6)
second year Aggie head
coach Don Corbet t is con
cerned about his young
team's rebounding and in
side play.
Only three-year starter C
Harold Royster a 6-8; 210
senior from Yonkers, N.
Y., returns on the front?
line and at this point the'
remaining front court
positions may not be
decided until the Aggies
tip-off against North
Carolina Central Universi
ty in the Corbett Sports
Center on November 29.
"If you look closely at
the scores of our games
last year we were in a posi
tion to win a majority in
the final minutes but just
couldn't come up with the
big rebound or stop the
opposition inside," Cor
bett recalled.
"Our primary aims in
recruiting were reboun
ding and inside play. We
feel we have good depth at
all position an we are
looking forward to restor
ing A&T's proud basket
ball tradition." .
"We are playing a good
schedule including seven
teen hone games and
we're looking forward to
seeing just how well we'll
fare."
The winner, of this
season's Mid-Eastern
playoffs.
iTorbett feels thai the
automatic berth wili not
only benefit the tourna
ment5 but will also be v fit
'i he ent ire league.
"It's a tremendous
recruiting point when you
rsan tell a youngster that
you' are eligible for post
season play against the
best schools and players in
the country," he said.
"A good season doesn't
have to end at the MEAC
tournament so everybody,
coaches included have
something to look for
ward to."
The prize of this year's
recruiting class is 6-7 Joe
Binion cf Madison High
School in R,nrhtr V V
Binion is listed in the cur
rent issue of Smith and
Street's Magazine as the
holder of the national high
school record for points
and rebounds in a single
game.
Against Franklin High,
Binion scored 41 points
and grabbed 42 rebounds.
He also registered five
blocks and was credited
with three dunks.
"Joe has come -along
fine but he's still a
freshman and it may take
him some time to adjust to
college basketball," Cor
bett said.
