O. Box 26530, Austin, Texas 78755 - < Phone < 512-795-8536 < < UT Recruits Look Good in North-South Game < < The Longhorns had eight recruits in the annual North-South game in Fort < Worth < Tuesday night, and they all looked good at times. One of the UT recruits, < DB < Huston Street of Austin Westlake, is coming to Texas to play baseball < instead < of football. < But the seven future Longhorn football players, headed by QB Kendal Briles < of < Wolfforth Frenship (who will be a DB at Texas), S Rufus Harris of La Porte < < and OG Mike Garcia, were among the stars in the game, which resulted in a < 16-9 victory for the North. < The game was a total defensive struggle until halfway through the fourth < quarter. The South was leading, 6-2, at that point. But Briles scrambled < 20 < yards to make a key first down, then hit a 9-yard touchdown pass to put < the < North on top, 9-6. The South came back with another field goal to tie it, < but < the North got a long touchdown pass in the final seconds to win. < Harris was one of the game's big hitters in the secondary for the South. < He < made a thunderous hit early in the game. Garcia also did a good job of < blocking for the South. < OT William Winston of Houston Madison teamed with Garcia to provide good < pass < and run blocking for the South. < Future Longhorns joining Briles on the victorious North squad were OT Will < < Allen of Cypress Falls, WR-CB Aaron Ross of Tyler (he'll be a CB at < Texas), < and speedy DB Michael Huff of Irving Nimitz. < The teams were sloppy at times because they had less than a week of < practice < and that always makes for mistakes, penalties and inconsistent play. But < all < of the future Longhorns produced some highlights along the way. < Texas had more signees in the game than any other school. Super RB Cedric < Benson of Midland Lee also was invited, but passed it up to continue < working < out in Austin to be ready to challenge for playing time at UT as a true < freshman. < The Aggies had six, including 6-3, 235-pound DE Brandon Johnson of Bryan, < who < was the Defensive Player of the Game. Johnson showed great pass-rushing < skills for the North. < * * * * < Junior DE O. J. McClintock says the doctors have told him he can resume < working out in about three weeks and probably will miss only one or two < games < after cutting some tendons and muscles in his right arm when he rammed his < < arm through a window when he tried to catch a relative who was falling. < * * * * < RECRUITING NOTES: That October 6 showdown in Dallas between Texas and < Oklahoma probably will decide the Big 12 South championship, and it also < will < have a lot to do with where some of the top players in Texas wind up < playing < their college football. Four of the top 14 players on my 25 -man < "difference-maker list" like the Longhorns, but they also have developed < some < affection for the Sooners lately and say they probably will watch the two < teams this season before making a decision. They four are the state's top < player, DT Rodrique Wright of Alief Hastings, who says Texas is No. 1, but < < the Sooners are a close No. 2; the No. 7 guy, DE Larry Dibbles of < Lancaster, < who likes UT, OU and Notre Dame, but says he probably will stay close to < home < and pick either the Horns or the Sooners; the No. 11 player, LB Garnett < Smith < of Arlington Lamar, who almost committed to Texas on an unofficial visit, < almost committed to OU on an unofficial visit there and now says he's < going < to wait until after the season to make a selection; and OL Justin Blalock < of < Plano East, the state's top OL and No. 14 on the overall list, says he is < still looking at a lot of schools, but likes the Longhorns because "they < are < the state school," and also likes the Sooners because "they are the < national < champions." He says he wants to see how the teams play this year before < making a decision. . . DT Marco Martin of Mesquite says UT is his leader < right now and so does LB Aaron Harris of North Mesquite. Both are top < national recruits. . . On my list of the top 25 players, Texas already has < < commitments from No. 3, DT Earl Anderson of San Marcos, No. 17, LB Brian < Robison of Splensora and No. 23, OL Brett Valdez of Brownwood. I think the < < Horns have at least a 50-50 shot at 13 other players on the list, No. 1 < Wright, No. 2 QB Vincent Young of Houston Madison, No. 4 DE Travis Leitko < of < The Woodlands, No. 6 RB Albert Hardy of Galena Park, No. 7 Dibbles, No. 9 < Harris, No. 11 Smith, No. 14 Blalock, No. 15 Martin, No. 16 CB Ricky < Wilson < of Port Arthur Lincoln, No. 19 WR Robert Timmons of Flower Mound Marcus, < No. < 21 DE Dontriel Coates of Anahuac and No. 22 Athlete DaBryan Blanton of < Forney. They also have good shots at a couple of others if their grade < situations improve. < * * * * < My next e-mail/fax will be whenever events warrant. < * * * * < The True Orange E-Mail/Fax Service includes at least 99 fax/e-mails a < year and costs $99 ($79 by E-Mail). The True Orange Newsletter includes < 26 < newsletters and is published weekly during football season and twice < monthly < during most of the other months. It costs $45.
