If the reactions of the returning
USC basketball players are any
indication of the wav Bill Foster
will be received at Carolina, he is
in for a warm greeting
"He told us he is really excited
about getting thA job and he's
really interestedfSln it because
there is a good futufe here," junior .
guard Kevin Dunleavy said. "He
truly believes we can become a
national power agfcin."
If his coaching,style at Duke is
any indication of the way F"oster 1
plans to run the Carolina program,
the Gamecocks will be running in
Ihe future. "From what I've seen
(i nis teams i would definitely
t lin.'v we will be running more than
i,i the )ast," Zam Fredrick said.
"I v '11 definitely like playing the
fa.;ter tempo," Fredrick added.
"'I hat': what I'm accustomed to
from hi ,h school. That's my best."

In his press conference Foster
reinforced the idea that he would
like to have a running team at
Carolina, although he thinks it
might take time. "I prefer the
running game myself," Foster
said. "But I think you have to walk
before you can run. I still think we
will have a tendency to do quite a
bit of pressing and running. I think
the players enjoy a more exciting
brand of basketba 11.''
There has been quite a bit of
speculation on whether USC's two
scholarship freshman would be
returning 10 scnooi. as tar as
Derrick Scott is concerned the
speculation can stop. "Personally
I think I would love playing for
him," Scott said. "I really like
what he was saying in reference to
the fact that they work with you on
an individual basis to try and
improve your game."
Scott also stated Foster has big
plans for USC. "He told us he
wanted to make USC the

When you're trying to build a
new program one of your objectives
is to recruit good
ballplayers. Foster is making this
a top priority. "1 think you always
