Harvey will debut at
‘Midnight Madness’
By ERIK SCHMIDT
Sports Writer
If rich bloodlines are advanta-
8®ous to an athlete, Georgia
noop8ter Antonio Harvey certainly
holds an upper hand.
My brother (Richard Jr.) plays
football for the New England Pa
triots,* said Harvey, a transfer
«7v# m S° u thern 111.- Carbondale.
my dad (Richard Sr.) played (foot
ball) for New Orleans and then
Philadelphia.”
Opting for the hardwood rather
than the gridiron, Harvey could
someday find himself in the NBA.
However, with only one season of
Division I experience at SIU under
his belt, pro roundball is still years
away.
Georgia fans will get their first
look at Harvey this Sunday during
"Midnight Madness,” a late-night
intrasquad scrimmage at the Col
iseum.
"Basketball is going to be bas
ketball regardless of where I am,”
Harvey said. "It (his transition to
the SEC) could be a problem, but
I’m not going to let it be a
problem.”
As a freshman, the 6-foot-ll
Gautier, Miss, native led the Mis
souri Valley Conference in blocked
shots en route to earning Confer
ence Freshman-of-the-Year
honors. He started 30 of 34 games
for the SIU Salukis while aver
aging 6.9 points and 5.2 boards per
outing.
Harvey liked the atmosphere at
Carbondale, but his philosophies
differed from SIU heaa coach Rich
Herrin's.
“The people were nice there,”
Harvey said. "I liked the coach but
I didn’t agree with the coach’s
strategies. He played me too much
when I wasn’t playing well and not
enough when I was.”
So when Harvey decided to
transfer, in stepped Moss Point,
Miss, native Litterial Green.
The high-scoring Bulldog point
guard this time produced oft the
court as he played a key role in
Harvey’s decision to come to
Georgia.
“We played against each other in
high school,” Harvey said. ‘There
was a mutual respect for each
other. If it hadn’t been for Litterial,
I don’t think I would have come
here.”
Assistant coach Mark Slonaker
believes that Harvey will be a
major contributor to Georgia’s SEC
title defense.
“He’s got a lot of talent,” Slo
naker said. “He’s got a great knack
for blocking shots. Offensively,
he’ll emerge as one of the better
players.”
Antonio Harvey: Transfer sophomore will show his
stuff at "Midnight Madness" Sunday night. The soph
omore should help the Dogs defend their SEC title.
Goff shifts gears to
prepare for Ole Miss
By OENE WILLIAMS
Sports Writer
In an attempt to jumpetart a
weak Georgia ofleneive attack,
Georgia coach Ray Goff will ahift
several different geare ae the
Bulldoge prepare for an impor
tant SEC daah with the 24th-
ranked Mieeieeippi Rebels this
Saturday.
"Gameon Hearit will be our
etarting tailback thie week,” Goff
eaid. J We are in no way dia-
pleaeed with the job Larry Ware
naa done for ue, but Garrieon has
earned a chance to start.”
Although hs hasn’t started all
season, Hsarst is the Bulldogs’
leading rusher with 338 yards on
69 carriee and two touchdowns.
He ie also the fifth-leading rusher
in the SEC. On the season, Ware
has gained 276 yards on 70 at
tempts. Goff ie still unsure of how
much Hearet will actually play in
the game.
Goff also moved kick returner
Chad Wilson to wide receiver.
According to Goff, Wilson, who
has gained 247 yards on 11 kick
off returns, has ths ability to
maks the big play for the Bull
dogs.
“We need to get Chad into the
game and we are going to use him
at wide receiver because we need
a guy to break it open and taka
the ball all the way,” Goff eaid.
Goff is moving Wilson to an al
ready deep and talented unit five
games into the season. Evan
though the Bulldogs already
have big-play receivers in Kevin
Maxwell, Sean Hummings and
Andre Hastings, Goff feels the so
lution ie to add another receiver
to the position.
Maxwell and Hastings, prob
ably the biggest guns in the
Bulldog offense, have combined
for 10 catches for 67 yards and no
touchdowns — an average of 6.7
yards per catch.
Quarterback Greg Talley will
get the starting, nod this Sat
urday at quarterback, but a naw
figure has entered the quar
terback derby. FVeshman Joe Du
pree has moved from the scout
team and has begun taking snaps
with the first and second team of
fense. It was believed that Du
pree would be red-shirted this
year, but the poor offensive
output has prompted him to pre
pare for prime time.
“We’re playing for wins in 1990
and if we feel that Joe Dupree
can help us win, we’ll put him in,”
Goff said. “I’m not going to pres
sure him to be our saviour.”
