Three other players destined to see a lot of basketball action are Steve Pavlovich, Larry Alsterlind and Mike McGuire. Pavlovich, who is a fine outside shooter, will play at both forward and guard positions. Alsterlind, a smart player with a good understanding of the game, has the ability to move the ball well and will work in the back-court. McGuire, another product of Bishop O'Dowd, has good speed and can score from the outside.

Another defensive aspect which aroused the fans at the Chico game was the failure by the Dons to make the same defensive mistake twice. This asset was  exemplified when Chico was successful on a screen pass to the right side of the field, but when trying the same play to the left, was thwarted by the heads-up job of linebacker Rick Reid. Defensive standouts were Larry Alsterlind, safety, Owen Aurelio, and particularly senior safety Mike Wolfgram who, in intercepting two Chico passes and recovering a Chico fumble in the USF end zone, was named Northern California's Defensive Small College Player of the Week (TheFoghorn).
