< Longhorn Veterans Report; Ellis, Wyndham Only Players Missing
<
< Senior linebacker Jon Wyndham and sophomore tight end Artie Ellis were
the
<
< only Longhorn veterans missing Thursday when the other 60 scholarship
< varsity
< players reported to begin pre-season practice.
< Head coach Mack Brown said Wyndham, a senior who has played primarily on

< special teams during his career, did not report with the team due to
< unresolved medical issues that are unrelated to football. He said the
< medical issues might cause Wyndham to miss the fall semester. He did not
< elaborate.
< He said Ellis, who played in seven games and caught eight passes for 77
< yards as a receiver last year, is taking the fall semester off for
< personal
< reasons and to further recover from a stress fracture in his tibia. That

< injury limited his action in 2000 and sidelined him during spring drills.
< He
< moved to tight end last spring and Brown said the coaches expect him to
< return in January for the spring semester.
< Wyndham is not expected to return to the team. "I really want to be with
< my
< teammates and help the program," he said, "but I need to take care of
< myself
< first. I came here to play football and get an education and even if I
< don't
< play again, I want to leave here with a degree."
< "I'd like to thank my coaches and teammates for all their support," Ellis

< said, "but it is in my best interest at this time to take care of my
< personal
< issues and to further recover from my stress fracture. I wish the
< Longhorns
< the best of luck this season and look forward to coming back strong next
< January."
< The veterans joined the freshmen for a team meeting Thursday night and
< both
< groups will go through orientation Friday before their first full team
< workout at 9 a.m. Saturday at Frank Denius Field at the corner of 26th
< Street
< and Red River.
< "Obviously this group of veterans is excited to get things started,"
Brown
<
< said. "A lot of them have been here all summer and several of the guys
< have
< been out at the freshmen workouts the past two days. But, today's
< reporting
< day is what we have been waiting for since the spring game. With a
< couple
< of exceptions, we now have everyone here. The guys have tomorrow off to

< focus on academics and to get acquainted with the newcomers and then
< we'll
< get down to business on the field Saturday."

< Coach Brown also reset Sunday's practice for 3:30 p.m. He had said
< Wednesday
< he would move it to the early morning, but he said Thursday he decided to

< keep in it the afternoon because the team's second workout Saturday will
< be
< at 7 p.m., and he said he thought the players needed more rest before the

< Sunday practice.

< RECRUITING NOTES: The Longhorns have a great shot at landing three or
four
<
< top out-of-state stars in this recruiting class. As I reported in
< yesterday's
< e-mail/fax, WR Marquis Johnson of Champaign, Illinois, is close to
< committing
< to Texas, and UT also is in strong contention for DEs Chase Pittman of
< Shreveport Evangel and Bryan Pickryl of Jenks, Oklahoma, and DT Kasey
< Studdard of Highlands Ranch, Colorado. Pickryl, one of the nation's top
< pass-rushing ends, took an unofficial visit to OU last week and came away

< saying Texas, UCLA and Missouri are his top three teams at this point.
< Pittman says his top two teams are Texas and LSU, and Studdard is a
strong
<
< lean to UT. Pittman and Pickryl plan to graduate in December and enroll
in
<
< college for the spring semester, which will allow them to go through
< spring
< training at their respective colleges.
< BASKETBALL RECRUITING NOTES: Heather Schreiber, the 6-3 star from
< Windthorst
< who will be a freshman at Texas this basketball season, led her AAU team
< to
< the championship of the national Basketball Coaches' Association
< tournament
< and was named the tourney MVP after averaging 29 points a game in the
< tourney. . . The Longhorn women are off to a good start in this year's
< recruiting with a pledge from point guard Nina Norman, a 5-8 star at
< Jersey
< Village who is ranked as a national top 50 player. Two other players
Texas
<
< was recruiting have committed to other schools. Guard Chelsi Welch, who
< led
< Plainview to the state Class 4A title last year, picked Oklahoma, and
< Lindsey
< Harding, a 5-7 guard from Cypress Falls, who also is a national top 50
< player, chose Duke.
