Defensive stopper McGruder would cap a top class of baske tball recruits By Samuel Chi Of THE EXJUvtMER STAFF A big recruiting haul in the fall apparently wasn't enough to convince Cal it had enough quality basketball players.

The Bears looked to make a final push with their one remaining scholarship as the spring signing period opened Wednesday. While coach Todd Bozeman made no announcement on the first day of the month-long signing period, the Bears are actively pursuing prospects. Cal is likely to sign a junior college point guard sometime next week. Prentice McGruder, a 6-foot-3 point guard from Southeastern (Iowa) College, is scheduled to make a campus visit late this week. McGruder averaged 15.8 points and 8.6 assists for the junior college last season.

"He's very quick, a slasher with long arms," said Mark Mayemura of BlueChip Illustrated. "He's not really a shooter, but a defensive stopper." The publication rated Cal's fall class, which included Shareef Ab-dur-Rahim and Kenyon Jones of Georgia and Southern Idaho College's Ed Gray, as second only to Arkansas' in the nation. McGruder reportedly is also considering Cincinnati, Alabama-Birmingham and Texas Christian. The Bears are out of the running for two high school prospects. Brian Ponder, a 6-3 guard from Detroit's Cooley High, committed Wednesday to Boston College.

And Shomario Richard, a 6-2 guard from La Puente's Nogales High, has a poor grade-point average and hasn't achieved the qualifying score on his college entrance exam. As for the other area schools, St. Mary'B women's team went outside the U.S. to pick up three of its four recruits. The Gaels signed Canada's J.R.

Payne and Krista Hall, Taiwan's Tori Chung and Mitty High's Leslie Quintal. Payne, a 6-0 guard, and Hall, a 6-0 forward, both averaged more than 20 points for their respective British Columbia high school teams. Chung, a 5-10 Bwing player who will be a sophomore next season, averaged 19.7 points and 8.7 rebounds for Taipei's Cultural (Wen-Hua) University. Quintal averaged 12 points per game, leading Mitty to the Division III state title. The USF women's team signed two junior college transfers, both from Golden West College in Huntington Beach.

Julie Murdent, a 6-1 center, averaged 20.9 points last season and set a Golden West record with 1,318 career points. Deana Itow, a 5-8 point guard, averaged 14.3 points and 8.8 assists. The St. Mary's and USF men's teams are not expected to sign any players this week. Stanford and Santa Clara have no signings reported for either men or women.

Foreman: Tyson ducking me HOUSTON George Foreman accused Mike Tyson of "hiding from a 46-year-old man" and issued a public challenge to the newly freed former heavyweight champion. "The word now is come fight," the IBF heavyweight champion said. Foreman, meeting with reporters to pronounce himself ready for an April 22 title defense against Axel Schulz of Germany, said he contacted Tyson in prison to set up a $100 million title fight. But Tyson declined the offer, which would have resulted in a $50 million paycheck for each fighter, Foreman said.

The source, confirming earlier reports in The Washington Post and The Diamondback, the student paper at the University of Maryland, told The Associated Press that the 19-year-old center would declare his eligibility. Jamie Redd, considered among the top 50 girls high school basketball players in the nation, will sign a letter of intent to play for Washington. Redd, a 5-foot-9 point guard from The City's International Studies Academy, said she will sign her letter on Sunday evening when she returns from an all-star game in Pennsylvania. "I could sit here and tell you 1,000 reasons why I'm going to Washington," Redd said Wednesday. "I really like the team and the coaching staff a lot" Redd recently completed an impressive senior season at ISA, averaging 29 points, 15 rebounds, five assists and four steals.

ISA finished 29-3, losing in the NorCal semifinals to the eventual champion. Redd took an official visit to Washington and attended a Huskies game early in the season and liked what she saw, especially of coach Chris Gobrecht "She's a strict coach," Redd said of Gobrecht, "but she's a winner and her program is going places." Stephon Marbury has signed a letter of intent with Georgia Tech and his parents will likely mail it in the next few days, the coveted recruit's brother said. The New York Daily News had reported that Marbury, the Brooklyn point guard who is rated among the nation's top high school prospects, would break an oral commitment with Georgia Tech to play under Jerry Tarkanian at Fresno State. Ohio University junior forward Gary Trent is making himself eligible for the NBA draft, a radio station in Athens, Ohio, reported.
