The Dons had a strong recruiting year to make up for the loss of these key players. USF landed one of the country's most sought after players in defender Troy Dayak, a member of the national youth team. Also new to the team are freshman forwards Zack Taylor and John Mora, freshman defenders Ken Folan and Mike Dingle, and junior college transfer Marquis White. Seniors Tim McEnery and Yuri Simpson are captains on the Dons this year. McEnery returns as the only Don to start all 21 games last season. "His teammates will look for a great deal of leadership from Tim," says Negoesco. Simpson will anchor an extremely strong back-line and returns after missing the latter part of 1988 due to an injury. Defenders Joe Dugan and John Kinyon, and forward Nick Dimitrievski arc the other seniors on the squad (TheFoghorn).
