| Nov. 17, 2003 UTSA Men's Basketball signs three to national letters of intent SAN ANTONIO - The University of Texas at San Antonio men's basketball team announced Monday the signing of three players, including a preseason junior college all-American, to national letters of intent to play for the Roadrunners next season. Joining UTSA are 6-9, 215-pound center Abe Donlon from Tulsa (Okla.) Broken Arrow High School; 6-5, 220-pound forward Roderick Rodgers from Dallas Lincoln High School; and 6-9, 240-pound forward/center Ray Selvage from Pearl River (Miss.) Junior College. "We are excited about the group we have signed early and feel that we have improved ourselves considerably up front for next season," said UTSA head coach Tim Carter. "Ray Selvage is quite possibly the most athletic post player we have ever recruited during my time at UTSA. Roderick Rogers is a very athletic swing player, and Abe Donlon is a good shot blocker and a post player that runs the floor very well." Donlon, who is in his senior season at Broken Arrow High School, averaged 11.0 points and 7.0 rebounds per game as a junior. Rodgers, a senior at Dallas Lincoln High School, averaged 17.0 points and 8.0 rebounds per a game as a junior last season. He comes into his final high school season ranked as the 23rd best player in the state by the Texas Roundball Scouting Service. Rodgers comes to UTSA from the same high school that produced former UTSA center Leon Watson, who is still the Roadrunners' all-time leader in rebounds and blocked shots. Selvage, who is a second cousin to former UTSA standout Devin Brown, was recently named a second team junior college all-America by the National Junior College Association of America. As a freshman he averaged 15.0 points and 10.0 rebounds per game for Pearl River. Selvage is a native of Baton Rouge, La.
