New UNCW coach humbled to be joining basketball hall of fame

On Friday, former Prairie View A&M University coach and alumna Cynthia Cooper-Dyke will become the first former WNBA player to be inducted into Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame.

"I don't think it has completely sunk in yet. I still think I'm wavering on the edge and I don't really feel like a hall of famer, but I think when I get to Springfield (Mass.) and I start to do the different events I will start to feel like an inductee of the class of 2010," the first-year UNC-Wilmington women's basketball coach said earlier this week.

"It's an amazing feeling to know that you are being honored and rewarded for all of the sacrifices that you have made throughout the years."

Cooper-Dyke grew up as one of eight children being raised by a single mother. It's here where Cooper learned her best trait, hard work. "My mom was just a special woman," Cooper-Dyke said. "She raised eight kids by herself in the (Los Angeles) inner city of Watts. She worked her way from welfare to having a job and taking care of the eight kids by herself and she did a terrific job."

With that life, basketball wasn't something Cooper-Dyke grew up with. She didn't start playing competitively until she was a teenager, yet led her Locke High School team to its first state title as a senior. That was Cooper-Dyke's first taste of a championship, but it certainly wouldn't be her last.

FCS Season Preview: SWAC

Birmingham, AL - Quinton Spears could serve as the poster child for Prairie View A&M football. The redshirt senior has gone from being a walk-on at wide receiver in 2006 to an All-Southwestern Athletic Conference first-team selection at defensive end in 2009. "It's really like the Prairie View story," Spears says. "You know, we started out at the bottom, and then we started gradually rising and rising."

Prairie View was at the bottom of the entire FCS when it lost an almost unfathomable 80 straight games from 1989-98. The Panthers have risen under seventh-year head coach Henry Frazier III and are coming off their second straight 9-1 season and their first SWAC championship since 1964. With the return of a veteran team, they are a clear favorite to repeat as conference champions.

"We talked about that as a team, we talked about how this is new territory for all of us," senior quarterback K.J. Black said. "There's not a lot of people on the team that (previously) have been champions.

Wanted: South Carolina State runners

All-MEAC senior quarterback Malcolm Long returns seeking a third conference championship with a new stable of running backs.

ORANGEBURG, S.C. -- For South Carolina State to win its third straight Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference title the Bulldogs' untested running backs are going to have to perform. Gone are Will Ford, the Bulldogs all-time leading rusher, and his backfield mate, Travil Jamison, who accounted for 21 touchdowns the past two seasons. The pair took nearly two-thirds of the carries last year, leaving few opportunities for the Bulldogs other runners.

Left tackle Johnny Culbreath remembers how much fun it was block for Ford the past three years. All he had to do was get in his stance, fire out and, more times than not, Ford was already past the line and headed for a big gain. "All you got to do is put your hands on your guy and in about two seconds, Will's going to come blowing by," Culbreath said. "That's all you've got to know about him."

Culbreath and the rest of the Bulldogs know they must adjust this season since Ford's successful run ended last fall as the MEAC's all-time leading career rusher with 4,660 yards. How quickly South Carolina State's backups fill Ford's shoes could determine if the Bulldogs have what it takes for a third straight conference title.

Southern defenders ready to deliver big hits

Over the years, the nickname has changed.

Players used to call them “bone crushers.” Then they were “slobber-knockers.” Nowadays, it’s called a “de-cleater.” That’s the trendy term for a big hit. By any name, Southern linebacker Corey Ray said, the big hit is a surefire sign that preseason camp has shifted into a higher gear. It’s just a shame, Ray said, that de-cleaters have been in short supply so far.

“On defense, that’s what we live for. That’s what we want,” Ray said. “Any situation calls for a de-cleater. You know what I mean?” Most players seem to. The Jaguars have practiced eight times since players reported for camp Aug. 3 — and while SU’s coaching staff often tells players to stay on their feet, that doesn’t always happen. Every so often, during team drills, they sneak in a noteworthy lick.

“For the most part, I’m pleased with how physical we’ve been,” first-year coach Stump Mitchell said. “On both sides of the ball, we will be a more physical football team than what people have seen at Southern over the past few years. I like that. That’s what I want.”

AAMU's Mason looks sharp in scrimmage

HUNTSVILLE, AL - Alabama A&M quarterback Deaunte Mason would love to have running back Ulysses Banks and wide receiver Thomas Harris back, but he says the Bulldogs' offense will be just fine this season. It sure looked that way early on during Wednesday's 80-plus play scrimmage as Mason led the first offense to a pair of touchdowns against the first defense.

After the early success with Mason, the Bulldogs' defense settled down and didn't allow any points over the last nine possessions. "It was a good day, but we've still got room to improve," said Mason, one of the big reasons A&M was picked to defend its Southwestern Athletic Conference Eastern Division title. "I think we showed at times we can still have a good offense this season."

Mason engineered a 12-play, 70-yard drive and capped it with a 10-yard touchdown pass to Quintin Carlock, who beat All-SWAC preseason cornerback Korey Morrison on the play. Mason was 5-of-6 on the drive for 35 yards and also had a nine-yard run for a first down on a third-and-4 play.

SIAC signs five-year contract with Crons

The Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SIAC) has signed a five-year agreement with The Crons Brand™, making it the official uniform and apparel provider for the conference and its member schools.

Crons will be the exclusive provider of SIAC Championship apparel and gear for all student-athletes and conference championships. The company will outfit teams in conference-sponsored sports with game uniforms, practice and workout gear, and travel apparel.

The SIAC becomes the first NCAA Division II conference to join The Crons Brand™, one of the fastest growing team sports apparel brands in the country. Crons, which created its name as an acronym from the phrase “Come ready or never start,” is based in Pittsburgh and describes what it sells as “motivational apparel.” Crons’s founder and owner is Pat Cavanaugh, 42, who played in the NCAA basketball tournament three times as a walk-on starter at Pittsburgh in the late 1980s.

“When I began the search for a new apparel partner, I wanted a company that understood the rich ethos of the Historically Black Colleges and Universities in general and the SIAC in particular. As a relatively new brand, Crons “Come Ready Or Never Start” approach not only mirrors the commitment and work ethic of our student-athletes, but Crons is also well positioned to tap into the enormous brand building, taste making, and trendsetting prowess of our nearly 35,000 SIAC students and SIAC 400,000 alumni,” stated SIAC Commissioner Greg Moore.

The Crons Brand is also the official apparel and uniform provider for the Big South Conference, Robert Morris University, University of Texas-Pan America, and others. “It’s kind of the haves and have-nots these days, and Crons is taking advantage of that, making quality apparel that’s affordable” for our fans and sports teams.

FAMU's Vann Cut by 49ers, May Catch On with Titans

After having trouble holding on to punts, former Florida A&M Rattler LeRoy Vann found himself without a job this week. Vann, who had signed with the San Francisco 49ers for training camp, was supposed to be on special teams, returning punts and kick-offs. However, because he seemed to have trouble handling punts and kick-offs in practice, he was cut, according to league sources.

All may not be lost for the former Rattler cornerback who signed into the NFL as an undrafted free agent. Vann's agent Karim Lawrence said that the Tennessee Titans have expressed an interest in Vann. Lawrence said that he called the Titans Monday and had held three conversations with the team. "The Titans are definitely an option, something we are looking at," Lawrence said. "There's definitely some interest there."

A&M to drop men's soccer program‎

HUNTSVILLE, AL - The men's soccer program at Alabama A&M will be cut after this season, The Times has learned. Sources says budget cuts have forced athletic officials to drop the program, which is an NCAA Division I independent and not sponsored by the Southwestern Athletic Conference, which A&M is a member.

Neither athletics director Betty Austin nor coach Salah Yousif could be reached for comment, but an official announcement is expected to be made today.

The Bulldogs had one of the most feared programs in the country in the late 1970s and early 1980s, winning national championships in 1977 and 1979 and were runnersup in 1978 and 1981, but haven't been nearly as relevant the last two decades. A&M is the only school in the SWAC that has men's soccer, but the league doesn't sponsor it as a championship sport.

Former UF Receiver T.J. Lawrence Heading to Florida A&M

It didn't take long for T.J. Lawrence to make a decision on where he'd be going next after getting his release from University of Florida last week. Lawrence, a former Kathleen High School star receiver, made a surprising announcement Wednesday that he will be suiting up for Florida A&M's football team this season while also getting his baseball career started back up with the Rattlers.

“It's a big shocker because a lot of people wouldn't expect Florida A&M University, but I'm going there to be a two-sport athlete,” Lawrence told The Ledger in a phone interview. The redshirt sophomore said FAMU “kind of popped up” on his radar a couple of days after he got his release from UF, and he's looking forward to competing for a starting spot on the football field right away at the NCAA Football Championship Subdivision (formerly I-AA) level. He'll also be looked at in the return game as well.

“I think that excites me more than anything the fact that I'm going to play this year because I've been waiting like forever,” he said. “That's the biggest excitement, the fact that I get to play with players I played with in high school and players I played against in high school.” Lawrence will be reunited with former Kathleen teammate Adrian Smith, who is also a receiver at FAMU. “I'm actually moving in with him,” said Lawrence, who will be in Tallahassee on Friday.

Norfolk State Spartans Football 2010 preview

NORFOLK, VA - Norfolk State ended last season on a high note. They finished 3rd in the MEAC, and hope to do even better this season.

Burton-to-Wilder highlights JSU Tigers' first open practice

Within moments of the ball leaving Te'Shon Burton's hand, all 6 feet 3 inches and 195 pounds of Marcellos Wilder soared high above Jackson State's scorching practice field. A moment later, the junior receiver came tumbling down - the ball securely in hand.

The Burton-to-Wilder connection provided the highlight Monday during Jackson State's fourth fall practice, the first session open to the media. The Tuscaloosa native leaped over a defensive back during one-on-one drills and snatched a 40-yard pass from Burton. It was one of those YouTube grabs that had players cracking up for minutes, Wilder talking smack to defenders and Burton high-fiving teammates.

Players were not allowed to speak with the media following practice and won't be until Thursday, but their new faces - like Burton's - dotted Martin L. Epps Field during JSU's 2 1/2-hour morning workout. True freshman running back Tommy Gooden got a surprisingly high number of reps. B.J. Lee, the former Ridgeland running back who transferred to JSU this year from SMU, rotated with veteran Jewrad Smith at the position.

Southern defense gets lots to digest

When Stump Mitchell came to Southern University and brought in a new group of assistant coaches, linebacker Gary Chatman figured he’d have to make a few adjustments. Then he saw the new playbook. Hello, adjustments.

Before spring practice began, defensive coordinator O’Neill Gilbert introduced his new playbook. Cobbled together from years in Division I college football and the NFL, the playbook is a three-ring binder that is three inches thick and very, very full. It practically made the local yellow pages look like a pocket Bible.

“When I saw it, I was like, ‘Wow,’ ” Chatman said. “In the beginning, I’m not going to lie: It was hard (to digest). It was really hard. If you really study the book and keep listening — yes, it’s a lot of adjusting, a lot of checks and a lot of different rotations with the DBs and linebackers. But if you get in your book and study and commit to the game, it’ll come very easy.”

Former Morgan State track star named Fulbright Scholar

Former Morgan State University track star Dakari Taylor-Watson was recently named a Fulbright scholar and will be heading to Terengganu, Malaysia, for 10 months next January to teach English to secondary school students.

Taylor-Watson, who earned a degree in biology from MSU in 2009, was chosen by the international educational exchange program. The program is sponsored by the State Department based on academic merit and leadership potential to study and teach abroad.

The 23-year-old told the AFRO that he will also volunteer in a hospital or clinic while in Malaysia, and has plans of applying to medical school when he returns to the United States. As for spending nearly a year away in a foreign country, it’s not something Watson hasn’t experienced before. He moved to Paris for three weeks as an exchange student when he was 10, not long after his mother, Aisya Taylor-Watson, died of cancer. Taylor-Watson believes his mother’s spirit travels with him everywhere he goes.

Savannah State faces two lawsuits with race at center

Dr. Earl G. Yarbrough Sr., President, Savannah State University

SAVANNAH, GA — Earl G. Yarbrough Sr., the president of Savannah State University, would prefer to be trumpeting the school's marine biology class work with its boundless laboratory a few miles away in the Atlantic Ocean. He talked excitedly about the school's Homeland Security curriculum, unique in Georgia, and beamed when the conversation changed to a recent $4 million grant from the National Institutes of Health.

But sitting in his campus office, Yarbrough instead had to address two racial discrimination lawsuits filed against the school. It is bitter news because he said the doors to the historically black school are open to all. "I have worked very hard to make this a more diverse campus, and then to be slapped with this eats at your soul," said Yarbrough, president since 2007. "It is constantly on your mind."

So, perhaps, is Robby Wells, the football coach Yarbrough hired in 2008 who said he was forced to resign in January because he is white. He filed a lawsuit May 25 based largely on the alleged comment of an administrator, who has since retired and denied making the remark.

Five burning questions for Grambling football

The Grambling State Tigers opened their fall camp on Saturday in preparation for the team's season opener on Sept. 4 against Louisiana Tech in Shreveport. The Tigers' camp, though, was somewhat overshadowed by the news on Friday that Grambling quarterback Greg Dillon's request for a sixth year of eligibility from the NCAA was denied.

"I see this as one of the unfortunate and, to an extent, tragic times when a rule that was created to keep universities from abusing the system penalized the courage of a young man to play through pain," Grambling athletic director J. Lin Dawson wrote in an e-mail to The Times. "In the last five years, Greg has played on two years, and we fought to get him another year in which I believe he deserves."

DSU's only veteran starting defender ready to lead young team

DOVER, DE -- Andre Caroll checks in at around 280 pounds.

This season, he'll be carrying much more weight for the Delaware State University football team. Caroll, a defensive tackle, is the only returning defensive player who started in all 10 games for the Hornets, who went 4-7 overall, 3-5 in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference, last season. The Hornets open their season in the MEAC/SWAC Challenge against Southern University in Orlando, Fla., on Sept. 5.

Caroll, a 6-foot-2, redshirt senior, welcomed the challenge as the DSU players began preseason practice at Alumni Stadium on a sweltering Wednesday afternoon. "A lot of guys on this team are young, especially on the defensive side of the ball, so being able to get us together is going to take us being able to trust one another," Caroll said. "That's one thing we really didn't have last year. There were just a lot of individuals out there."

Ray Petty, DSU's defensive coordinator, is entering his fourth season with the Hornets. "He's the best player we have on our team right now, on both sides of the ball," Petty said of Caroll. "He had an outstanding junior year and he worked hard in the offseason. He's one of those guys who leads by example with the things he does on and off the field.

Pass it on: JCSU Bulls will take to air

Johnson C. Smith’s offense is under close inspection. After scoring an average of 18.7 points per game last season, the Golden Bulls have a new offensive coordinator in Maurice Flowers and nine returning starters. The most scrutinized of the lot will be quarterback Ryan Carter, who completed 97-of-182 passes for 1,024 yards and eight touchdowns in 2009.

He will have to be more productive in order to push the Bulls forward. “He needs to go from being a guy who was handed the job into a leader,” head coach Steve Aycock said. Carter, who was an erratic decision-maker in his first season as a starter, will get his opportunities to improve. He’ll have a running attack that averaged 138.3 yards per game going for him, as well as three-time all-CIAA receiver Jeremy Franklin, whose productivity slipped to 48 catches for 610 yards and five scores last season.

South Carolina State Bulldogs: Brother Act, Part 2

Former Richmond Raiders Tedarrius Wiley, left, and his brother Derrick Wiley are quarterbacks on the South Carolina State 2010 football team.



ORANGEBURG, S.C. — Former Richmond Senior quarterback Tedarrius Wiley has always followed in his older brother Derrick’s footsteps. Derrick was a standout quarterback at Richmond who now plays for South Carolina State University. Tedarrius was a standout quarterback at Richmond who also led the Raiders to a North Carolina Class 4AA state championship in 2008.

And Tedarrius also now plays for South Carolina State. He signed a letter of intent with the school last February and reported for fall practice last week. After a few days of practice, Tedarrius is a quick study at the college game, according to Derrick. “He’s picking up the offense pretty quickly,” Derrick said before a Sunday afternoon workout at the Bulldogs’ practice facility. “He’s very coachable.”

Derrick, a 2008 Richmond graduate, is currently rehabbing a broken ankle suffered during the summer. He’s expected back by the fourth game of the season, when South Carolina State opens MEAC play on the road at Florida A&M. For now, Tedarrius is expected to redshirt. That would leave him four years of eligibility. Derrick, meanwhile, redshirted his freshman year as well. He’s now a redshirt sophomore and will back up senior QB Malcolm Long this year. S.C. State head coach Buddy Pough said Derrick is the Bulldogs’ “changeup” quarterback.

FAMU football players give Coach Taylor good early impression

All summer Joe Taylor could only go on second-hand information about the condition of the players on the Florida A&M football team. Taylor finally got a close up Tuesday as the team began preseason workouts. Under a blistering mid-afternoon sun, the Rattlers ran the 40-yard dash, a shuffle over 20 yards and zig-zag runs through cones. They will return at 6 a.m. today for more testing before starting walk-through drills later in the day. Tuesday's start impressed Taylor.

"I thought there was a lot of energy," he said. "I don't know if we've had this amount of sub-4.5 (seconds) for a timing day since I've been here. Now we've just got to be able to get it transferred (onto the field)."

Taylor said he had an inkling before the team showed up there would be some impressive times. During the team's initial meeting, when each one of them had to stand up and tell about themselves, Taylor said, he noticed a physical improvement in more than half of the players. "For some of those guys when they took off their shirts their chest came with it," Taylor said, "but you could see evidence and signs that they've been working. They're really cut."

Southern Jaguars Coach Mitchell Expects 12-0 Season

We’re going to recruit good players, give them all the necessary tools and give our fans a team they can be proud of. We’ll work our guys hard, make ’em play until the whistle blows and see where we stand at the end of the year. We’re going to do everything we can to produce fine young student-athletes and win some games in the process. Blah. Blah. Blah.

Year after year, preseason after preseason, we hear the same football coaches say the same things about their same programs. Most of them, in the interest of protecting their own backsides, back away from any kind of hard and fast prediction, lest they fall short. And then there’s Stump Mitchell.

Time and again this summer, Southern University’s first-year coach has done the exact opposite. He has done it with three words: Twelve and zero. “That’s the goal,” he said. “We want to go 12-0 this year, and we think at the end of the season, we’ll be 12-0.”

WSSU Rams are excited about return to CIAA this season

As Winston-Salem State tries to settle into a groove in the early days of preseason football practice, Coach Connell Maynor is leaning heavily on veteran players. Linebacker Shawn Kearney and defensive back Marvin Bohannon, both redshirt seniors, are leading an 88-man roster that has plenty of new faces -- a move that Maynor calls natural because of their experience.

Kearney, a starter most of his career, said that there have been changes in attitude since Maynor, in his first season, and his new staff took over. "We have a different outlook with the new coaches, and they are talking about CIAA and winning the title, and winning the national championship in future years, and we've never heard that here before," Kearney said. "So we can't wait, and it excites us, especially the veterans on this team."

Despite last season's 1-10 record, the defense was a constant bright spot for the Rams and kept them in most games. Although the core of that defense -- a talented line -- is gone, some key parts remain. I

FAMU to begin practice with walkthroughs

Not long after Mike Caldwell began coaching in the NFL, he was invited by Joe Taylor to talk with his football team. Taylor himself had a few questions, including one about what Caldwell would have done differently if he had to return to coach on the college level. The response from Caldwell, who coached several college teams, was pretty simple. More walk-through practices.

Taylor, who begins his third season at Florida A&M, took heed and has since started each of his preseason camps with several days of walk-through drills that allow his players to focus mentally on their roles. And, so it will be when the Rattlers begin practice on Wednesday afternoon.

"It's big because we are learning mentally so when we get on the field and put on the pads nobody is slow and nobody gets hurt," said defensive end Kendrick Washington. "The mental aspect is knowing yourself and knowing what your opponent can do." Players tend to be more attentive during the days that they have to concentrate on theory rather than banging bodies, Taylor said.

Fall camp gets under way for Alcorn State

LORMAN, MS — Alcorn State head coach Earnest Collins noticed a big difference on the Braves first day of fall practice Thursday — more players. And Collins said that should have a big impact on the kind of season the Braves will have in 2010. “Last year we came into camp with 70 some odd players, which is not enough,” Collins said. “Now we’re about to capacity, and I feel a lot better about it.”

As the Braves began fall practice to prepare for their Sept. 4 season-opener against Langston, Collins said the added depth means every player will have to fight for his position. “Now the players know there is depth behind them,” Collins said. “There is somebody pushing them, and they won’t be playing by default. Last year we had some players who had to play by default because there was nobody behind them. That’s not the case this year at any position we have.”

In addition to the added depth, Collins said he was pleased with the physical condition of his players, and could tell they have been working hard over the summer to stay in shape.

Tennessee State coach Rod Reed expects boldness from quarterback Dominic Grooms

TSU Tigers Coach Rod Reed

Even with Calvin McNairl no longer in the way, senior Dominic Grooms won't simply step in as Tennessee State's starting quarterback. First-year Coach Rod Reed said Grooms, who backed up McNairl last year, must prove he possesses a boldness Reed considers necessary to lead the offense.

"I want to see him show that he has a take-charge attitude,'' Reed said Monday on TSU's first day of practice. "I want him to go out there and say, 'This is my offense and I'm going to run it.' I want to see him with a little attitude, with a chip on his shoulder that lets everybody know he's going to be the man to take this offense to the next level."

Grooms played enough last season to prove to Reed, the defensive coordinator in 2009, that he can replace McNairl, who moved to receiver in the spring. Grooms started three games when McNairl was injured and played in another. He completed 29 of 66 passes for 279 yards, with four interceptions and no touchdowns.
