Iowa State makes some moves
Alcorn State coach to join Cyclone staff
The Associated Press
AMES, Iowa — Sam Weaver, Alcorn State basketball coach for the past three seasons, is joining Tim Floyd's staff at Iowa State.
Weaver resigned Wednesday and said becoming an assistant at Iowa State was a great opportunity for him.
"Then you look at this situation and what Tim has done at Iowa State and every place he's been at. He's one of the hottest coaches going right now."
Last season, Floyd took a team picked to finish last in the Big Eight
and led them to a conference tournament championship with an upset of Kansas. The Cyclones advanced to the second round of the NCAA tournament and won a school-record 24 games.
Weaver was an assistant at Drake during the 1987-88 season, then he was an assistant at Southern Illinois. He took the job at Alcorn State in 1993, when the program was being investigated by the NCAA.
In 1994, the school was placed on probation for three years.
Weaver replaces James Green, who was named coach at Southern Mississippi earlier this month.
"Sam is a guy who has proven that he can recruit in areas that are important to us," Floyd said, referring to the Midwest and the South.
Player suspended for poor work in class and training
AMES, Iowa — Iowa State start ing center Kelvin Cato is suspender for the Cyclones' first three game next season, coach Tim Floyd said.
The Associated Press
"I've been extremely disappointed in his classroom performance and his accountability in the weight room," Floyd said Wednesday.
The suspension was issued by Floyd, not the university, the coach said.
Cato was not available for com
The 6-11 Cato will be a senior. He transferred to Iowa State from Southern Alabama after the first semester of the 1994-95 season,
He also had a school-record 71 blocks.
ment Wednesdav.
He averaged 9.6 points and a team-high 7.7 rebounds last season as the Cyclones, picked to finish last in the Big Eight Conference, upset Kansas in the championship game of the league tournament.
Floyd said he hadn't decided whether Cato's suspension would include exhibition games.
"If this continues, the suspension might grow," Floyd said. "At the rate we're going, he might be ready to play by the Big 12 (Conference) tournament next year."
Morris pleads innocent to charges
Running back will stand trial July 15
The Associated Press
ROCKWALL, Texas — Bam Morris of the Pittsburgh Steelers pleaded innocent today to two drug possession charges stemming from his arrest last month during a traffic stop.
Morris entered a writen plea during a brief hearing before state District Judge Bill Lofland. Trial was set for July 15.
"I can't talk about it now," the 24-year-old running back told reentrators. "There will be a time."
Defense attorney Doug Mulder said that Morris could not win this
case in the press, and then declined further comment.
Asked about the case's affect on his career, Morris replied, "It'll handle itself."
Morris is one of two players from this year's Super Bowl to be charged in a drug case.
Michael Irvin of the Dallas Cowboys was indicted April 1 on felony cocaine and misdemeanor marijuana possession charges.
Morris, the leading rusher in Pittsburgh's Super Bowl loss to Dallas, has been released on $50,000 bond following his March 22 arrest.
He was stopped outside the Rock-wall city limits for swerving and not wearing a seat belt, officials said.
An officer became suspicious after Morris and his passenger, Rodney Dwayne Reynolds, gave conflicting statements of where they'd been and what they'd been doing, authorities said.
After obtaining Morris' permission to search the car, the officer found about six pounds of marijuana in the trunk in a sports bag, authorities said.
"I can't talk about it now. There will be a time."
Bam Morris Steelers running back
A later search of the impounded luxury car turned up 1 1/2 grams of cocaine, authorities said.
"There is some evidence that, in my opinion, is very tough on Mr. Morris' case," Rockwall County district attorney Ray Sumrow said.
"It's going to be pretty hard to deny any knowledge of the dope."
Morris was indicted March 26 on two felony drug possession charges, both of which are punishable by two to 10 years in prison and a maximum $10,000 fine.
Reynolds, 26, pleaded innocent today to a charge of marijuana possession.
A grand jury found no probable cause to link Reynolds to the cocaine, officials said.
Both men are eligible for probation if convicted since neither has any previous felony convictions, officials said.
No trial date has been set.
Morris won the Doak Walker Award in 1993 as the nation's top running back while a junior at Texas Tech. He skipped his senior year to go into professional football, and the Steelers made him their third-round pick in 1994.
He was the Steelers' leading rusher last season.
Frazier's draft prospects still uncertain
Former Nebraska standout can't work out for scouts but some teams interested
The Associated Press
11-day hospital stay earlier this year.
"He's back to normal," said Gregg Samms, Frazier's agent.
LINCOLN, Neb. — Former Nebraska quarterback Tommie Frazier takes daily runs, plays intramural basketball and still sits and wonders if he will be chosen in this weekend's NFL draft.
Frazier isn't talking. He remains on blood-thinning medication to dissolve a small portion of a blood clot in his right knee.
The professional football career of the Heisman Trophy runner-up was in jeopardy after an
However, the quarterback that led Nebraska to two consecutive national championships
on the football field.
Frazier has not worked out for professional scouts since January — before his
health became a possible roadblock in his draft
A workout scheduled yesterday in Lincoln was
canceled. Samms said there was no need to have Frazier work out for professional scouts. The scouts who are interested in Frazier performed medical tests on him last weekend at a combine in Indianapolis for hopeful NFL players.
Samms said team doctors examined Frazier's leg and his medical records. The Indianapolis Combine II was the last chance for team scouts, doctors and coaches to analyze players before the draft.
"They said he was doing well," Samms said. "My hope is that he is going to get drafted. He's already demonstrated before that he will come back and can be extremely productive."
Samms said the Philadelphia Eagles have expressed the most interest in Frazier. He said they have given Frazier a clean bill of health.
