Coach Felto
recruits two
By BOBBY JONES
Sports editor
The upcoming basketball schedule and the recruitment
of two Yugoslavian players were the subject of an announcement
by George Felton, USC's men's head basketball
coach.
Felton is pleased with the upcoming Gamecock
schedule. The 27-game schedule includes matches with
Metro, Atlantic Coast, Southeastern and Big Ten Conference
teams.
The season will begin Saturday, Nov. 26 at Carolina
Coliseum, following exhibition games against Bracknell
of England and Athletes in Action.
The Gamecocks will face Lander in the Frank McGuire
Arena for their first game. December proves to be a tight
schedule for the team which posted a 19-10 record last
season. USC will play host to Clemson, Maryland, East
Carolina and Ohio State. ESPN will broadcast the Ohio
State game on Dec. 20.
USC will participate in the Cotton States Classic, held
at the Omni in Atlanta, Ga., Dec. 29-30. Georgia,
LaSalle, and Princeton will complete the field.
The Metro Conference Tournament will conclude a
tough, 12-game Metro schedule the Gamecocks face in
January and February. The Gamecocks will play host to
the Metro Conference Tournament on March 10-12 in the
Carolina Coliseum.
"We are pleased to have 15 of our 27 regular-season
games at home this season," said FeIton."This will give
the fans in this area a chance to see some fine basketball
against a high level of national competition.

chance to see some fine basketball

We are also excited to host the 1989
Metro Conference Tournament. We
believe this is a step in the right direction
in bringing the excitement back to the
Carolina Coliseum and South Carolina
basketball." George FeHon
Basketball Coach
Felton's teams in 1986-87 and 1987-88 advanced to the
semifinals of the Metro Conference Tournament, a feat
which no other coach accomplished.
USC chose Felton who was an assistant coach at
Georgia Tech to fill the Gamecock void in March 1986.
Under his direction, Gamecock teams have made steady
improvements.
It was at Georgia Tech that Felton earned a national
reputation as a top recruiter. He recruited Haiti native
Yvon Joseph away from Miami Dade Junior College to
play for the Yellow Jackets.
Felton's recruiting season peaked with the final confirmation
that Obrad Ignjatovic and Bojan Popovic would
be allowed to come to Columbia and play for USC during
the 1989-90 season.

Ignjatovic is a 6-foot-2, 210 pound center. Popovic is a
6-foot-3 guard. Both were members of the Yugoslavian
Junior National Team which won a gold medal in the
World Cup Games last summer.
The two incoming freshmen scored less than 700 on the
Scholastic Aptitude Test. Due to an NCAA rule requiring
student-athletes to score 700 or better, they will only be
students in the fall.
Felton sees the upcoming year as an adjustment period
for the two international student-athletes, pointing out
the language and cultural differences of the two countries
and noting the athletes' need to work on the weights.
"I'm kind of disappointed they can't play this year,
because they can play at the collegeiate level," Felton
said. "But we'll just have to be patient for a year. In a
way it's good, though, because it'll take off some pressure
and let them concentrate on studies. They comprehend
English fairly well, but they've got some work to do. But
the university has some intensified programs where they'll
get a tremendous dose of English in the next year. Plus
they'll have a year to work on weights and become adjusted
to this country."
Ignjatovic is expected to perform well for the
Gamecocks on the inside but is also a point-maker from
the outside area. The two native Yugoslavians are also
expected to add height to the team.
With the signing of Ignjanovic and Popovic, USC's
allotment of 15 scholarships will be filled. Felton stated
that Perry Dozier has decided to foregoe his basketball
career due to knee injuries which have hampered his performance
in the past.
