Senior David Pruett - Lander University

From Daniel W. BallPresidentMarge and I are enjoying our 13th season with Lander University, and the athletic events aresome of the more memorable and exciting times for both of us.Our two sons competed at the collegiate level, so we know firsthand the role athletics plays in eachuniversity’s strategic plan. We are aware of the lessons of life which are learned on the playing fieldsand courts. Whether it be basketball, baseball, soccer, softball, tennis or volleyball, sports provide acommon denominator for all of us.It seems that in a basketball arena everyone can appreciate the electricity of the slam dunk, thecoolness of the clutch free throw and the pressure of a last-second shot. And after the most amazingof plays, it’s all right if you jump out of your seat and give the guy behind you a high five.That’s what athletics is all about. And it happens right here in Lander’s Horne Arena.Coach Kevin Pederson and the Lady Bearcats, and Coach Jeff Burkhamer and the men’s basketballteam have my best wishes for a successful and injury-free season.Please join Marge and me as we support our Bearcats.From Jeff MayAthletics DirectorWelcome to Lander University Basketball 2012-13! We are excited about the upcoming seasonand anticipate a strong showing by the Bearcats. I invite and encourage you to support coachesJeff Burkhamer and Steve Roberts and our team by attending as many games as your schedulewill permit. Make each game a family night out and also bring a friend.Please take time to familiarize yourself with this publication. It provides excellent information onour coaches, the history of the program and, most importantly, our student-athletes who representLander.“To be a member of a Lander University intercollegiate team is both a privilege and a responsibility. Weexpect and demand that our student-athletes excel in the classroom as well as on the courts and fi elds andthat they perform with pride, poise and proper conduct. Character, citizenship and a spirit of volunteerism arealso expected of those who compete on behalf of Lander University. We believe these self-discipline activitieswill assist all student-athletes in obtaining a degree and will equally benefi t them in becoming contributingmembers of society."4 Lander Basketball

Burkhamer stresses “Every Play, Every Player”If Lander men’s basketball coach Jeff Burkhamer has a list of“frequently asked questions” about the 2012-13 Bearcats, howhe replaces All-American Dwight Tolbert would certainly top thelist.Question marks about teams never begin to be answered untilgames are played. But Burkhamer already knows the answer tothe Tolbert question.“I don’t think you replace DwightTolbert,” Burkhamer said of thePeach Belt Conference and SoutheastRegion Player of the Year. “He was anAll-American and the best player inthe Peach Belt Conference. It’s hardto replace a guy like that. He is makingmoney now playing (professionalbasketball in Finland).“We were fortunate to have himwith us, but at the same time we haveto move on. We have to find a coupleguys who can step in and maybe notdo the same things he did, but cansomehow fill the same role.”Tolbert led the PBC and was fifth inthe nation with 21.8 points per game,and was also among the league leadersin 3-point shooting percentage,rebounds and steals while often takingover games down the stretch.Also lost from last season’s PBCTournament qualifying team wasJermel Kennedy, another athletic post6 Lander BasketballCoach Jeff Burkhamer’s Prospectusplayer who broke Lander’s school record for shooting percentagein a season (67 percent) while averaging 11 points and sevenrebounds per game.Two more important players — Darion Canty and DennisRumph — were also seniors who combined for an average of 12points and nine rebounds.But the Bearcats do return one of the better players in thePeach Belt in senior wing David Pruett (Gainesville, Ga.).Also returning are junior post player Darius Carrier (Charlotte,N.C.), versatile wing/forward sophomore Stefan Tabasevic (Belgrade,Serbia), who missed all of last season due to a shoulderinjury, and sophomore post player Scott Elder (Perth, Australia).The roster also includes eight newcomers as well as a 7-footerwho will be red-shirted.Returning players and newcomers alike are expected to honorthe team’s slogan that Burkhamer has adopted for this year: EveryPlay, Every Player.“I heard that one day and I thought that would be a good sloganfor our team this year because it’s going to take a full team effort,”the fourth-year Bearcats coach said. “Dwight is not here tobail us out. It’s not going to be one guy making a play. It’s goingto take everybody making plays, every play, every player, offensivelyand defensively.2012-13 Coaches’ Preseason Poll(fi rst place votes in parenthesis)1. Montevallo (5) 1392.

North Georgia 5212. Armstrong Atlantic 4113. Young Harris3714. Flagler 29“Making a play for one guy might be doing a good job screening,for another guy it might be blocking out and rebounding,”Burkhamer added. “It’s different roles, playing to our strengthsindividually and collectively, getting our team to play well togetherand trusting each other.”The true season opener is Nov. 13 at home versus Allen University.But Lander does have a home exhibition game againstAthletes in Action on Nov. 3, andtravels to Clemson for a preseasongame Nov. 5.“Athletes in Action have verygood former college players who areexperienced,” Burkhamer said. “Theyare always a great test, always a big,strong team. And two days later wego to Clemson to play a team out ofthe ACC at Littlejohn Coliseum. Iknow our guys are excited about thatand the students will be excited aboutit. We’ve got to try to go play well nomatter who we are playing.”The 6-foot-3 Pruett averaged 13.9points per game and was third in theleague in free-throw percentage at87 percent. He is one of the better3-point shooters in the conference.“I think we have one of the betterguards in the league in David Pruett,”Burkhamer said. “Pruett is definitelyone of the best shooters in the leagueand maybe one of the better shootersin the country,” Burkhamer said of the wing who also played forBurkhamer at Armstrong Atlantic State.“We need David to get to the foul line more because he is sucha good free-throw shooter. He’s a solid player who has been inour system and knows what is expected. We need David to havea very good year. With those two guys at the one and two, weshould be able to put some pressure on defenses.”Pruett is also a crowd-pleaser who along with Tolbert helpedLander post its best-ever home record at Finis HorneArena last year at 14-1.“It does excite the fans when David is able to make a 3-pointer,and if we get two or three 3s in a row, the crowd gets excited andit changes games,” Burkhamer said.Lander’s only home loss was to Armstrong Atlantic.“I think our home record was terrific. We played very, verywell at home,” Burkhamer said. “We beat a lot of good teams.When you are beating teams like Augusta State, Georgia Southwestern,UNC Pembroke and teams that were picked at the top ofthe league, you are doing some things right. We had some great,games here. It was our best record ever at Horne Arena for ahome season. We were really excited about that.”The Bearcats finished 18-9 last season – their best record sinceContinued on next page

Coach Jeff Burkhamer’s ProspectusContinued from previous page2006. They went 11-7 in the Peach Belt, qualifying for the tournamentwhere they lost in overtime at the host school ColumbusState. Lander went 4-8 on the road.‘We went on the road and competed,” Burkhamer said. “Ourroad record wasn’t as good as we wanted. But it was still okay. Itkept us in the hunt and got us in the tournament. That’s an areawhere we hope to get better.It’s difficult to go onthe road and win no matterwhat league you are in,and we have to find a wayto create that toughness togo on the road and find away (to win).”After facing Allen inthe season opener, theBearcats visit Mars HillNov. 17 and play in theBluefield State CollegeCurrence Classic Nov.23-24 in Bluefield, W.Va.,against Bluefield State andWest Virginia Tech.Lander also plays MarsHill at home, as well asLenoir-Rhyne and SouthernWesleyan in nonleaguegames at Horne Arena. The PBC opener is Dec. 8, at homeversus Augusta State.“West Virginia Tech won 21 games last year,” Burkhamer said.“Lenoir-Rhyne is always well-coached. I think we have a prettysolid non-conference schedule that will prepare us for the PeachBelt.”Burkhamer expects the PBC to be loaded with talented teams.“I think Augusta State has a terrific team coming back and theyhave added a couple guys that are very good,” he said. “Pembrokeshould be good again. They have some returning players. Ithink Columbus State has a chance to be an excellent team. USCAiken always has good players.“Montevallo has two or three guys back off the nationalchampionship game team. They lost their big guys. They are alot smaller this year. But they have tough kids. Young Harris is anew addition into the league. They won 20-plus games last yearand I’m sure they are going to be very competitive right from thestart. It will be a very, very tough conference as it is every year.”Lander has a roster full of newcomers this year, includingjunior guard Carlos Trotty (Decatur, Ga.), junior guard/wingJareal Smith (Savannah, Ga.) and junior post Mario Pendarvis(Summerville, S.C.). Smith (Division I Radford University) andPendarvis (Spartanburg Methodist) are transfers.Dermaine Smith (Columbia, S.C.) is a versatile sophomorepost who transferred from Walters State Community College,and freshmen include point guard Jamal Branco (Hudson, Fla.)and wings Chidozie Omile (Woodbridge, Va.), Courey Sirmans(Savannah, Ga.) and Nic Cody (Perth, Australia).The tallest player in the program, 7-foot-1 freshman MathewSchulz (Epping, Australia), will be red-shirted.“Mathew will get great experience in practice,” Burkhamersaid. “He’s a big kid at 7-foot, 270 pounds, and he’s got a chancebecause he has unbelievable work ethic and a great attitudetoward getting better. We like the opportunity he presents for thefuture.”All the newcomers areexpected to contribute,starting with Branco as abackup point guard.“Jamal Branco is afreshman out of Floridawho has been reallysolid in practice. He isa bigger point guard at6-2, a strong athletic kidwho seems to understandthe game, understandshis role, handles the ballwell, gets the ball to theright people and doesn’tmake a lot of mistakes.He is probably one of ourbetter defenders. His olderbrother (Jarrod) plays atFlagler. If he can comein and be solid for a fewminutes to give Corey a rest each half, that would really help us.”Trotty is also an option at point guard.“Carlos Trotty is a transfer who was going to Clemson whojust wanted to play basketball,” Burkhamer said. “He was on twostate championship teams in high school (in Decatur, Ga.). He isalso a kid who understands how to play and would be a good guyto bring in off the bench.”Jareal Smith will likely play a key role on the team after playingwell at Division I Radford University, where he made the BigSouth Conference All-Freshman team two years ago. Last year,he scored 25 points against Winthrop and 22 versus Cincinnati.“Jareal Smith is a bigger guard who can score, can get to thebasket and take hits and maybe get to the free-throw line,” Burkhamersaid. “We need Jareal to score and play a big role for usthis year.”Sirmans will likely have a role as a guard coming off thebench.“Courey Sirmans is a very good shooter. He is a guy who cancome off the bench to make shots. That’s probably the best thingthat he does,” Burkhamer said.Omile, Cody and Tabasevic are versatile players who will havea chance to contribute.“Chidozie Omile is a big wing that I think has a chance to be agood player,” Burkhamer said. “He is a big, strong kid, he shootsthe ball well from 3-point range, and he could probably play thethree, the two or the four. He is a freshman who can help us thisyear.Continued on next pageLander head coach Jeff Burkhamer leads the team during the 2012 Homecoming gameagainst Francis Marion.Lander Basketball 7

Coach Jeff Burkhamer’s ProspectusThe Lander Bearcats defeated Francis Marion, 83-71, in the 2012 Homecoming game in Finis Horne Arena.Continued from previous page“Nic Cody was here last semester with us just to get someexperience and we red-shirted him. He’s gotten a little stronger,is shooting the ball better, moves really well without the ball, andhe gives us some length at the wing. He is a 6-7 kid who can playon the perimeter and can really help us.”Tabasevic played some as a freshman at Lander before shouldersurgery derailed his sophomore year.“Stefan Tabasevic can play at the four or the three,” Burkhamersaid. “He is a very good shooter, probably one of the better shooterson the team.”Carrier is the only returning experienced player in the post,making four starts and averaging 13.5 minutes per game last year.Elder also played last year, averaging four minutes per game in13 appearances. Both are 6-foot-7.“Darius Carrier played a lot as a freshman and sophomore,”Burkhamer said. “That experience will really help him this year.He is bigger and stronger, and he is finishing better down in thepost. He has to be a guy who we can count on as a junior. Heknows how to compete and now we are going to demand a littlemore out of him. He’s got to go from being a role player to beingone of our main guys.“Scotty Elder played some as a freshman last year. He is goingto have to help us some in the post this year. He is a good face-upshooter. He has gotten better.”The 6-7 Dermaine Smith reminds Burkhamer of Kennedy.“Dermaine Smith is one of the most athletic guys in the league.He is kind of like Jermel Kennedy,” the coach said. “He has threeyears left (at Lander). He has got to get some things done for uson the glass and also score in a variety of ways. The quicker headjusts, the better we will probably be throughout the year.”Another post player is Pendarvis, a second team junior collegeAll-American who tore his ACL recently but has not requiredContinued on next page8 Lander BasketballProgram Goals and Objectives• To graduate 100 percent of our student-athletes.• To win the PBC regular season and PBC tournament championships and compete in NCAA postseason play.• To have the most productive recruiting class in the region and conference.• To instill life skills in our student-athletes.• To prepare our athletes academically, athletically and socially for life after graduation/basketball.

I felt that our president, Dr. Ball, and ourathletic directors, Jeff May, were the type of people that I wantedto work for and their vision for Lander basketball was similarto mine. I also felt they would support our quest for success andwould care about our program. There is a sincere desire to win atLander and to do things in a first-class manner. Our scholarshippackages, our all-you-can-eat cafeteria, our on-campus life inthe dorms, a beautiful arena, and a caring faculty and staff whoare willing to work with the student-athletes made my decisioneasy. Plus, Greenwood is a great place to live and raise a family.I have been so impressed with the number of people who havewelcomed me and our family and who have offered assistancein so many different ways. Lander and Greenwood must be agreat place to be because so many people go to school here andthen stay in the Greenwood community to live, work and raise afamily.Why is Lander University such a special place to go to collegeand to play basketball?The people at Lander and in the Greenwood community arefriendly, supportive and caring.
