CtIP*N*SAVE • Weaks Finds Home in Florida Senior guard Kenyan Weaks, who grew up in Concord, has become one of Florida's best 3-point shooters. By Brian Murphy Senior Writer At first glance, Florida’s Kenyan Weaks seems out of place. He is, after all, a Tar Heel in Gator country, the lone senior on a young squad and a Lon Kruger recruit in Billy Donovan’s program. But look closer and it becomes obvi ous that Weaks is a perfect fit for the up tempo Gators. He’s the 3-point specialist on a team of 3-point bombers. He tied a Florida record for steals as a junior. Plus, the Concord native never much liked North Carolina. “1 was an N.C. State fan,” Weaks said Tuesday. Weaks and the Gators square off with North Carolina in Saturday’s national semifinal in Indianapolis. Weaks was recruited by Kruger out of Concord High School in 1995. After attending Fork Union Military Academy, Weaks arrived at Florida and found anew regime in place. Kruger had left for Illinois and was replaced by Donovan. Donovan went through a similar situation as a play er at Providence when Joe Mullaney, who had recruited him, resigned and was replaced by Rick Pitino. “At that time everyone was saying that he needed to go out there and recruit players and that the players at Providence couldn’t get it done,” said Donovan, who played in the 1987 Final Four with the Friars. “He took the opposite approach. He said, ‘Listen, I’m going to give every sin gle one of you guys a chance to play. I’m going to treat you like I recruited you.’ And to me, that was a tremendous bur den lifted off of my shoulders to know that someone who didn’t recruit me was coming in now and was going to treat me like one of his own and give me an opportunity to play.” So Donovan decided on the same approach for the players brought in by Kruger. “I was never of a mindset that this was n’t going to work with Kenyan Weaks,” Donovan said. “He can’t be part of this team. I didn’t recruit him. I think that that would just be me using him as an excuse to gain a scholarship. And 1 wanted to give each guy a chance to play.” 149 1/2 E Franklin St Chapel Hill, NC S' 96o-8688 Best known secret in Chapel Hilt Offering burgers, chicken sandwiches, and specialty sandwiches for lunch and dinner, with a night menu and 23 beers on lap All ABC permits. f c^jfpliowsr •ZstfiXyWgZi j •Monday • 25 cent wings and $1.50 f ,, ■*■ ■ w r domestic bottles and late night jazz • Tuesday • $2 00 Pints ■MMpHgMIHj • Wednesday • All you can eat spaghetti $5.00 and $2.00 micro and . import bottles J • Thursday • $2.00 Local Brews | • Daily food specials and SI.OO off • appetizers from 4:00-7:00 Monday thru Saturday Sports All Weaks needed was a chance. Asa freshman, he was Florida’s top sub, aver aging 9.3 points per game. In his second season, Weaks set a school record by shooting 50.5 percent from 3-point range. In his junior season, the 6-foot-4, 198-pounder tied Florida’s single-season steals mark, averaging 2.25 per game. This year, Weaks, Florida’s starting shooting guard, is second on the team in 3-point percentage, 3-pointers made, steals and minutes. He’s averaging 10.3 points per game and shooting 94.5 per cent from the line. Weaks’ advancement as a player has mirrored Florida’s ascent on the nation al stage. The Gators were 13-17 in Donovan’s first year. Now, they’re in the Final Four. “I am in awe of how Coach Donovan has turned this team around and made it into one of the best teams in the coun try,” Weaks said. He did it by transforming players like Weaks. “He was very immature his freshman year,” Donovan said. “He had a difficult time and was suspended a few times and needed to be disciplined. But Kenyan is at the point in his career that he’s at now because of some of the adversity he went through.” The Sports Editor can be reached at sports@unc.edu.
