SoCalHoops College Recruiting Report

Last Bulldog Stuff: Italian Andrea Bona Will
Sign With Fresno State--(May 2,1998)

Fresno State's official Italian recruit Andrea Bona (6'-7" Sr. PF) and his father, Ambrogio, made an official visit to Fresno this last Friday during the King of the West All-Star game, a doubleheader exhibition game featuring high school and college players played at Fresno City College. Andrea is from Rome and played last season at Redemption Christian Academy in Troy, N.Y. "He wasn't sure if he should sign, but now he is after he met Roscoe Pondexter," Ambrogio Bona told the Fresno Bee. Bona had a great time speaking Italian to Fresno State basketball staffer Roscoe and Doris Pondexter, who spent five years in Italy when Roscoe played pro basketball there. Andrea said he enjoyed the weather in Fresno, and also decided to sign with the Bulldogs after speaking with Jerry Tarkanian and assistant John Welch.
