(Continued from Page 1) McCormick made his final decision Friday night after discussion with his parents at his home in Clarkston. He revealed his decision the following morning. He finishes his career at Michigan with a 9.1 scoring and 5.9 rebounding average. McCormick's decision to turn pro comes at a time when hi's market value is at the highest it has ever been. Last March he was named the most valuable player in the NIT finals against Notre Dame. He scored 28 points in the Wolverines' 83-63 triumph. Last week he was one of 20 players chosen for the U.S. Olympic basketball team, which will eventually be whittled down to 12 team members. As a post-player who can shoot from the outside, McCormick should com- mand enough value to be taken in the second round of the draft. "I've heard everywhere from 10th pick (in the first round) to the middle of the second round," he said in a telephone interview yesterday. Although his rejection from the University graduate school tilted Mc- Cormick's decision toward leaving school, he made it clear that he has no regrets or hard feelings about his four- year stay here. "One thing I want to stress is I'm not leaving early," said McCormick, who will graduate with a degree in general studies this summer. "I've had my four years and I've got my degree so it's time to look to the future. "I love the University of Michigan and it's very difficult to leave. I'd have loved to play next year but I have to be selfish in the sense that it's time for me to look to the future." Unlike McCormick, Turner leaves the University with a year of eligibility remaining. He finished with a career 14.7 scoring average, but only a 10.8 mark in the 1983-84 campaign. He is the Wolverines' leading assist man in hist- ory with 421. According to Turner's father, Cliff Turner, a 46-year-old graduate of the University's Educational Administr- tion graduate program, E.T. waited un- til the last minute to decide. "(Eric) came home three weeks ago to talk about it," said the elder Turner in a telephone interview from his home in Flint. "Before he left (for Europe) he said it was almost for sure that he was staying. But then he called us (Friday) and said it was in his heart to leave." Turner said his son's devotion to the school made his decision to leave an agonizing one. "He's always loved Michigan. I have a daughter (Renee) who graduated last year. When they were in the third and fourth grades they decided they were going to Michigan." Though Turner said "ideally" he would have preferred his son stay in, school he was supportive of tle decision. "In terms of his staying for his degree - he can finish his degree at some other time. There must be hun- dreds of thousands of kids who drop out to go to work or whatever." Center. Environmental research, library work, or outdoor work with recycling program.

The Michigan basketball coach lost the heart and soul of his team this weekend, experienced warriors Tim McCormick and Eric Turner. Both players opted for the NBA draft in June, dimming considerably Michigan's chances for a Big Ten title. It will take a nifty bit of coaching - and a little luck- to overcome the loss. But it can be done. A year ago observers predicted the losses of Derek Harper and Russell Cross from Illinois and Purdue respectively would cripple those programs. Instead both teams regrouped and ended up tying for the Big Ten title this past season. Michigan finds itself in a similar spot. But like the Illini and Boilermakers of a year ago, Frieder's Wolverines have enough talent left over to at least make a respectable run at the conference crown. Center Roy Tarpley and guard Antoine Joubert are on the verge of stardc n. Others - like Rich Rellford, Butch Wade, Garde Thompson, and new recruit Gary Grant - have star potential. Plus guys like Leslie Rockymore and Robert Henderson still can contribute as role players. That's where Frider comes in. It will be his job to nur- ture the individual talent into a team that can win ball games. No privileges for athletes The big question remains: Was it a mistake for McCor- mick and Turner to go pro? No and yes. No, it was not a mistake for the big fella; yes, it was a big mistake for the extra-terrestrial. As far as McCormick goes, he said it best himself. His value in the draft will never be higher. He impressed scouts at the Olympic tryouts; they told him he might be drafted anywhere from the middle of the first round to the middle of the second. Middle of the second sounds about right. That means a decent contract and a legitimate chance to make an NBA squad. McCormick has not had what you would call an out- standing collegiate career but I think he has a shot at the pros. He's slow but he can shoot okay and he has a workman-like attitude. He reminds me a little of Bill Laimbeer of the Detroit Pistons. Laimbeer was unim- pressive in his years at Notre Dame but he worked his buns off to become a premier pusher 'n' shover in the NBA. Early departures will test Frieder 's mettle McCormick also mentioned his rejection from Rackham as a factor in his decision. Excuse me while I pontificate on that subject for a moment. It has been suggested that by rejecting Big Mac the University did not live up to its commitment to the idea of the student-athlete, that it's hypocritical for an academic institution to expound the virtues of Joe Jock, the student-athlete, and at the same time deny Joe a chance to further his education. To that accusation I politely answer: Bunk. All that amounts to is bending the rules for the privileged athlete. And that isn't fair. Tim McCormick is a great guy and a pretty good student but he should be treated no differently than any other person applying to grad school. Already the big- wigs were scrambling around the admissions office to see if they could give Tim a hand in getting admitted. That's patronizing and it's unfair. Let the thlete's academic record speak for itself, with particil ition in sports counting the same as any other time-cot ouming extra-curricular activity. 'Nuff said. Risky business for E. T. Back to the draft. Turner, I'm afraid, is making a mistake. He's coming off his worst collegiate year and will only be drafted in the third round or so. Very few third-round picks ever amount to anything. He's kind of small in size and an erratic shooter. A good parallel for him might be, as a colleague once pointed out, MSU's Kevin Smith. Smith is now laboring for about $250/week in the CBA. Turner's claim that the NBA's fast-paced style better suits his game than the slow-'em-down-and-set-'em-up style of the Big Ten doesn't hold water anymore now that the league has adopted the 45-second shot clock. Apparently there were some other factors that weighed heavily in E.T.'s choice of basketball playgrounds. Turner was devastated when Bobby Knight failed to invite him to try out for the Olympic team and his grades were reportedly suffering as well. As of now he is ineligible to play because of poor marks. He says with a class this summer he could easily regain his eligibility. No doubt he could. But with the temptation of possible big bucks on the horizon, who can blame him for leaving. But it's a big risk. For his sake let's just hope it was a risk worth taking.
