"South Carolina just does not play the type of basketball for Eddie. He's a run and shoot player. You got to un derstand, people here in Washington think he's one of the best shooters that God ever put on this earth. "I think his father thought that McGuire wanted a team from the same area which knew each other," he con tinued. "And realized that Ed just didn't fit in. After all, we know that Eddie could go someplace else and score 25 points a game."' Gamecock assistant coach Donnie Walsh, who also coached Peterson as a freshman, stated, "The reason the boy left was because he wasn't playing, and it's just that simple. Naturally Eddie was upset. He's a competitior, and he's certainly a good player. "He had convinced himself that he wouldn't play for this team, and that just wasn't the case. But we couldn't guarantee that he'd start. We can't flat guarantee anyone that they'll start for us.'' As of this moment, Peterson is in Athens with University of Georgia basketball coach Kei, Rosen, who, when asked if Peterson could be reached, promptly answered "No,' and hung up the phone. Following his trek to Athens, Peterson will be in Alabama until late in the week, when he will return home. Why Peterson left this school still remains a paradox, however. Or perhaps it would be better to ask- whether it really was Ed who convinced himself that he wouldn't play, or another member of his immediate family. "If you were 19 years old, and had to make a decision like this,"' asks Boswell, "could you make it yourself, or would you look to your family?." I'm not a sophomore basketball player with a good touch from outside.. and a persuasive father. 3JabrrhaaIery Just Arrived!!
