hoops this year. *
. Senior center Chris Henderson
rounds out the returnees list
Henderson, a 6-foot-6, 220-pound
product of Chicago, scored 9.1 points a
game last year while also pulling
down a team-leading 6.3 rebounds a
game.
Part-time starter Dave Bamett will
get the starting nod this year at point
guard. Bamett averaged 15.8 points a
game during a nine-game stretch in
February and finished with a 10.5
clip.
Sophomore Carl Ray Harris, a 6-
foot-2. 180-pounder from Washington
Union High, is listed at the other
starting guard slot. Without a doubt.
Harris, who was a Prop. 48 casualty
last year, should be hungry to display
the same talents that saw him land
valley Player of the Year honors for
the 1988-89 season when he averaged
26.3 points a game for the Panthers.

games last year and started five.
Lambrecht, a 6-foot-9 sophomore
from Antwerp. Belgium, started in
seven games and played to 20 last
season while averaging 2.7 points an
outing.
Fresno State flnlshedt'ntoth out of
10 schools with a 4-14 record to Big
West action last year. In both the Big
West media poll and Big West coaches
poll taken last week, Fresno State is
picked to finish seventh. Is that where
Colson, a rookie to the Big West,
figures where his Bulldogs will end
up?
"We could be the worst team. I don't
"know." said Colson, who. has been a"'
coach for a school to the West Coast
Conference (11 years with
Pepperdtoe). the Western Athletic
Conference (New Mexico, 8 years) and
the Pac-10 Conference (two years as an
assistant at Cal). "We could end up
better than they have ranked us.* -
Change, as Colson noted, often leads
people to feel a sudden turnaround in
for a program that ls struggling.
However. Colson said he may be
asking his players to do too much.
Colson mentioned Monday he has
four concerns as the FSU campaign
nears official lipolT time: Fatigue,
rebounding.'defense and his team's
offense against "big time pressure
defense."
Because of the fatigue factor. Colson
may regularity use 10 players an
outing, something, he said, he has
never done as a coach. Normally
Colson has stuck to employing a solid
eight men throughout a contest
If Colson can iron out some of his
concerns and the FSU'players make a
smooth transition from the
disciplinarian tactics used by former
head coach Ron Adams, the 1990-91
hoops season could easily be a fruitful
year for the Bulldogs in the valley of
the raisins. ^
