Wade McGuire will sit out the re
mainder of the fall season due to
academic conflicts, according to an
announcement Wednesday from
Georgia coach Manuel Diaz.
McGuire, the 1992 NCAA sin
gles runner-up, will not be able to
complete the necessary course
work in order to become eligible to
compete this quarter.
“We did not want to rush Wade
and thus jeopardize his academic
standing at the University," Diaz
said.
“It is in Wade’s best interest
that he concentrate his time and
energies solely on academics this
fall," he said. “We will look for
ward to having him return to com
petition in January."
McGuire is expected to com
plete the necessary requirements
to regain his eligibility in time to
play for the Bulldogs next winter.
“Obviously I’m disappointed I
won’t be playing this fall,”
McGuire said. “But at this time, it
is important that I put my school-
work ahead of tennis and start
preparing to be ready to play again
in the winter."
Diaz’s announcement came just
two days before Georgia opens
play in the 25th Annual Southern
Collegiate Championships.
It was this same weekend one
year ago that the senior from
Richmond, Va., made his return to
college tennis. McGuire opened the
fall by winning the Clemson
Classic on Oct. 6, 1991, and fin
ished runner-up in the Southern
Collegiate Championships the
next weekend.
After transferring from Lander
College in Greenwood, S.C., in
1989, McGuire injured his knee on
the first day of fall practice and
was redshirted in 1990.
McCuire returned to play in the
NCAA Tournament as a sopho
more in 1991 and earned All*
American honors with Bobby
Mariencheck in doubles.
McGuire finally returned to
permanent action last fall, and
used the fall as a springboard to
what became one of the most un
believable seasons in Georgia ten
nis.
McGuire rolled up an 18-2
record last fall en route to reach
ing the finals of every tournament
he entered after a nearly two-year
absence.
McGuire led the Bulldogs to an
SEC regular season title and quar
terfinal finish in the NCAA tour
nament. He finished the season
with a 45-10 singles record and
earned All-American honors in
singles and doubles.
‘Magic’ returns to NBA
By JOHN TURCO
Staff Writer
It’s almost magic.
Magic Johnson has made his
decision to come back to the NBA.
No magic tricks, just Magic him
self.
Johnson, who announced his
retirement on Nov. 7, 1991, an
nounced Monday his return to the
Los Angeles Lakers.
Although it is certain that
Johnson is coming back to basket
ball, there is still a lot of specula
tion as to how his comeback will
affect the game.
“I think the fact that he’s got
the virus is going to affect the play
of his competitors, especially
when someone is guarding him
down low,” said Rodney Rosse, a
senior from Columbus, Ga. There
are a lot of guys in the NBA who
are not educated about the AIDS
virus and how it can be contract
ed. Because of that, they won’t
even want to get close to him.”
Johnson will play a 50- to 60-
game schedule in the upcoming
season comprised of mostly home
games ana limited road play.
Johnson will also try to avoid
playing in back-to-back games.
Although Johnson faces the ob
vious health risks, Jon Robertson,
a senior from Rock Hill, S.C., be
lieves Magic will provide some in
spiration for those who have been
touched bv the virus.
“I think he’s made a good deci
sion,” Robertson said. “I think his
comeback will make people realize
that virus is not the end of their
lives. It will show people that once
this virus touches you, you can
still function in society and that’s
what Magic is doing.”
A lot of people are supporting
Johnson in his comeback, includ
ing the AIDS experts who say
there is no direct evidence that
proves he will be at any higher
risk from exercise.
With all the support around
Johnson’s comeback, there is still
some mild opposition to his deci
sion.
“I can’t say if it’s a good deci
sion or not,” said Dean Clark, a se
nior from College Park, Ga. “If I
was in the same position with a fa
tal disease and his financial posi
tion I think I would want to stay
retired. He may be in some sort of
a denial stage or something.
Maybe I would do the same thing
if I was in his situation, but I hope
I would do what is best for my
health and my family."
