Here's Egan' · assessment of the 1984 85 Toreros· 'The Center Tbomp on the W C's fre bman of the year, is the only bonaf1de center on the ro ter. He ha good hands and a good feel for the game, is a threat to core down low, and has the ability to pasi; back outs1d to the open man. He averaged 7.1 points, 4.8 rebounds and 13 blocks last year. Egan plan to brmg him along slowly but feels he can become a very good player. Th backups are forwards Mario ronado, a 6-9 junior with a good book hot, who started al center at th beginning of last sea on; Steve Krallm n, a 6-8 ophomore with a good midrange jumper and some pow r In id · and Nils Madden, a 6-7 ophomore considered the quickest of the thre and, potentially, the best 11-around player "All thr re physically strong," id Egan, "but they aren't pure cen- ters offensively We1I go more to a hv -m:rn offense when Scott's not on the floor."

·'They're all aggressive," said Egan. "We don't have any timid souls.' The Guards. The addition of Jack- son enables Egan to return Carr to his more natural off-guard position, where he will be counted on for bis outside shooting and quickness on the break. Also returning is ~8 sophomore Eric Musselman, a good ball handler and floor leader who sank critical free throws for the Toreros rn the closing minutes of several games last year. The other guards are 6-3 Kevin Knierim and 6-0 Craig Weiss, both walk-ons and unknown quantities. "There are some spaces out there, but this team bas nice balance," Egan said. "We have some mobility, size and, now, quickness. I think we have the potential to be a very good basketball team." The Toreros, 18-10 overall last year, open the season Nov. 24 against Missouri Baptist at the USD Sports Center. --~---- /

a bonafide big forward last year. He averaged 11.7 points. 6.4 rebounds, and led the WCAC m sbootmg per- centage (61.9). He's a strong mside player and particularly tough on the offensive boards. Bostic. who plays guard and for- ward, averaged 10.2 pomts and 3.1 assists last season en route to an All- WCAC honorable mention. Egan feel he"s a better shooter than the films indicate and plans to imple- ment some plays accordingly. The newcomers include James Knight, a 6-4 forward from Johnson County College in Salina. Kan. (good athlete, limited shooting range); Pete Murphy, a 6-4 Junior from Mesa Col- lege in Phoenix (good shooter, can also play guardr, Steve Moser, a freshman from Ocean View High in Huntington Beach (aggressive, fun- damentally sound. needs to extend shooting range); and E.C. Morgan, a walk-on who played a freshman sea- son at Idaho (good size, good shooter)
