Coach Landers says team has potential to be his best
By RANDY WALKER
Sports Writer
Ed. note: Daug Rap is a ques
tion anti-answer feature that will
spotlight various Georgia coaches
and athletes. Andy Landers,
women's basketball coach, is in to
day's spotlight.
K&R: Is your 1990 team the best
you've ever had?
Coach Landers: No. I think
they have the potential to be
though. The season is not over. We
may accomplish more than any
other team I’ve coached, and
maybe not. Well just have to wait
and see. It’s too early to tell. I think
in some ways they have the ap
pearance of being a better team.
They have better balance than any
other team we’ve had. This team’s
depth is as good as any team that
we’ve had. On the other hand, I
think they’re probably as poor a de
fensive team as we’ve ever had.
R&B: Why haven't your squads
in the past excelled in the post
season ?
Coach Landers: I’d have to ask
Dean Smith (North Carolina men’s
basketball coach) that question.
Kansas was not ranked in the pre-
season men’s basketball poll, now
they’re no. 1. Why haven’t we lived
up to rankings? I don’t care why we
haven’t lived up to rankings be
cause those rankings aren’t goals
of mine. Those are not my expecta
tions. Those are expectations from
someone who has never seen our
team practice. Have we achieved
my expectations? No. Why? I don’t
know. I think a lot of things have
come into play like irguries and
youth. Why does anybody lose?
K&R: How do you think the SEC
and NCAA race will shape up this
season?
Coach Landers: I think Ten
nessee and LSU could be the best
two teams in the league that we’re
going to have to play and compete
against for a conference
championship. They both have
quality players, both teams have
depth. Both teams hove some expe
rience so I think probably those
two are the teams to beat. In the
national picture, I think Stanford
and Louisiana Tech are definite
possibilities for some national rec
ognition at the end of the season.
Aside from those two, I don’t know.
This is a most unusual year in
women’s basketball in that there
doesn’t seem to be a dominant
team. Those two are very good
teams. After that, I think there isa
group of teams that could compete
and I think that group changes
from week to week.
R&B: Who do think will win the
Super Bowl?
Coach Landers: I haven’t had
time to follow football. We’ve been
on the road since Christmas. Super
Bowl Sunday is going to be special
to me because we play Tennessee.
That’s about all I know about
Super Bowl Sunday.
K&B: And if you beat Tennessee?
Coach Landers: I’ll have a
glass of iced tea and see what that
Super Bowl stuff is all about.

Lewis.
Harrell is a 6-3, 210-pound ath
lete out of Dodge County High
School. He is projected as either a
wide receiver or defensive back for
the Dogs.
Duggins is a 6-4, 265-pound of
fensive lineman out of Carrolton
High School. Rob Morton, a sports
writer for the Newnan Times-
Herald and also a noted high
school football recruiting expert,
said Duggins has the potential to
be the best offensive lineman pros
pect to come out of the state this
year.
“Duggins has got extremely
quick feet for a kid that size,”
Morton said. ‘That’s usually the
first thing you look at in an offen
sive lineman. He also has the po
tential to put on some more weight
and not lose any of that quickness.”
Lewis is a 6-3, 290- pound offen
sive lineman out of Central of Car
rolton High School. He is an
excellent athlete who also has
above-average foot speed.
The out-of-state commitments
are Troy Williams and Collin
Brandon. Williams is a 6-6, 280-
pound defensive lineman from Col
orado Springs. He was named USA
Today’s All-American last year and
is rated as the sixth best defensive
lineman prospect in the nation by
recruiting expert Max Emfinger.
Brandon is a 6-4, 230-pound
tight end from Huntersville, N.C.
He has 4.7 speed in the 40 and he
caught 11 passes for 208 yards this
year.
The two returning players from
the 1989 recruiting class are Andre
Booker and Carlos Yancey. Booker
is a wide receiver from Sarasota,
Fla. He played for Fort Union Mili
tary Academy in Virginia this past
fall.
Yancey is a defensive back also
from Sarasota, Fla. He attended a
prep school in South Carolina.
Both of these players will still be
considered fresnmen.
Georgia is also in the running for
several other outstanding in-state
prospects, including three of the
most highly sought-after running
backs in the country: Garrison
Hearst, a 5-11, 194-pound tailback
from Lincoln County High School;
Frank Harvey, a 6-2, 227-pound
tailback-fullback from Terrell Aca
demy in Dawson; and Micheal
These people have each won 2 free passes to a local theatre.
Next time, it could be you!

Thorton^ a 5-10, 220-pound full
back from Albany High School.
Emfinger said Georgia is in ex
cellent shape with all three run
ning backs. “1 think Georgia has
been in the lead since the season
began with Qarrison Hearst,” Em
finger said. “I think probably
Frank Harvey is also leaning to
Georgia and Thornton will prob
ably end up there too.”
The rest of the in-state list in
cludes offensive linemen: Derrick
Leaphart, a center from Southwest
Dekalb; Stephen Roberts, a guard
from Dalton; and Greg O’Neal, a
tackle from Baldwin.
The top instate defensive
linemen considering Georgia in
clude: Trade lluzzie, a tackle from
Troup County; Steve Latson, a
tackle-end from Wayne County;
Virgil Herrington, a nose guard
from Statesboro; and Joe Wilder, a
tackle from Mays.
Georgia is also looking at other
offensive stars such as Joe Dupree,
a quarterback from Southwest
Macon; James Warner, a tight end
from Newnan; Andre Hastings, the
all-world wide receiver from
Morrow; and Bill Montgomery, a
wide receiver-defensive back from
Bowden.
Recruiting expert Forrest Davis
of Birmingham, Ala. said,“I think
Georgia is doing extremely well.
Coach GofF is not only doing a great
job controlling the state of Georgia,
but also he is getting interest from
several great players in Florida
and Alabama.”
The players from Florida include
middle linebacker Marvin Jones
from Miami; Larry Kennedy, a de
fensive back from Sarasota; and
Patrick O’Neal, an outside line
backer from Bradenton. These
players are considered the best at
their positions in Florida.
Three top-flight players from Al
abama considering Georgia are
quarterback Jason Jack, defensive
lineman Clifford Charlton and run
ning back Tony Richardson.
Georgia recruiting coordinator
Bob Pittard is also confidant that
the Bulldogs will have a great re
cruiting class this year.
“If we get all of the players we
think we are going to get, this
could be one of the best recruiting
classes in Georgia history,” Pittard
said.
