But shed no tears for the Wolverines and head coach Bill Frieder, as they nabbed the top basketball recruit in the state of Florida in the person of Richard Rellford. The 6-5% forward from Riviera Beach is considered to be one of the top 10 high school seniors in the nation. "He's a strong rebounder," said Frieder of Rellford. "He's tough around the boards. He's a good scorer inside, and he's not a bad shooter." "HE'S AN ANIMAL under the boards," said Samuel Marshall, Rellford's coach at Suncoast High School in Florida. "And he's coachable-he listens _ and learns." Whereas Rellford had been leaning toward Michigan for some time, the 6-5 Ford has been much more indecisive. Before this weekend, Ford, con- sidered by many the top recruit in the state, was favoring the Wolverines, according to Cass Tech assistant coach Ron Lauter. But over the weekend, he visited Michigan State, and when he returned home he had been swayed to the Spartans' side. Rellford is currently averaging 25 points and 16 rebounds per game. Suncoast owns a deceptive 13-9 record because Rellford and many of his teammates joined the team late due to the length of the football season. The team has recently begun to jell, winning five consecutive contests. Before exchanging a foot- ball for a basketball, the 225-pounder earned first team All-State status from his tight end position. WHEN THE newest Michigan recruit and his high 'He's an animal under the boards. And he's coachable-he listens and learns. ' -Suncoast High coach Samuel Marshall on Richard Rellford school teammates switched sports, the squad still continued to struggle for awhile. "When Richard came in from football, his muscles had to change over," said Marshall. "Our basketball players play football and we lost three or four more games while they were toning their. muscles for basketball." In spite of Rellford's lofty averages on the basket- ball court, Frieder noted that, "there's a big adjust- ment when you go from high school to college." ONE OF THOSE adjustments will have to occur when the opposition has the ball. "He'll need a little work defensively, especially when he faces differen offensive sets in college," said Marshall. "I think every player needs work on his defense coming out of high school," said Frieder. "In high school, if you're the best player on the block, you don't have to play defense. But in the Big Ten your have to." One of the main reasons that Rellford will be taking his skills to the Big Ten, is that Michigan has two athletes who greatly influenced the prep star. One is Wolverine football sensation Anthony Carter, who also attended Suncoast High School and is a good. friend of Rellford's. The other is freshman basketball player Eric Turner. "RELLFORD PLAYED basketball with Eric this summer in the AAU Game in Jacksonville, and he couldn't believe the passes that Eric made," said Frieder. "So he knew he'd be coming to a team where the guards don't just fire it up. He knows if. he gets open, he'll get the ball." With a verbal commitment from Rellford, Frieder's list of recruits has now grown to four. -The other future Wolverine cagers are 6-8 Paul Jokisch of Birmingham Brother Rice, 6-9 Robert Henderson of Lansing Eastern and 6-91/2 Roy Tarpley of Detro' Cooley. With all of this height, the beatings thaw Michigan has taken on the boards this year may soon come to an end. "We just need more height and now we have it," said Frieder.

Frieder By BOB WOJNOWSKI An already fine recruiting class got a little bit finer yester- day when Richard Rellford, the Riviera Beach whiz, announ- ced his intentions to play basketball at Michigan. And while the Wolverines and head coach Bill Frieder lost out on Patrick Ford, the 6-5 swingman from Detroit who opted for Michigan State, this class may still prove to be the best crop of Wolverine recruits in recent history. Not since the 1976 group that included Phil Hubbard, was-Anthony Carter," said the second-year coach. CARTER, MICHIGAN'S All-American wide receiver, is from the same high school as Rellford-Riviera Beach's Suncoast High-and is also a good friend of the 6-5% forward. Another key to the recruiting success is the personality and selflessness of Michigan's freshman guard, Eric Turner. Turner played with Rellford in an AAU summer tournamen4 in Jacksonville, Fla. and Rellford came away impressed.
