< Top WR Marquis Johnson Commits to Texas
<
< WR Marquis Johnson, 6-3, 200, 4.48, of Centennial High School in
< Champaign,
< Illinois, committed to Texas Sunday.
< Johnson, a national top 100 prospect and one of the wide receivers in the

< country, took his official visit to Texas this weekend and said he
< committed
< to UT head coach Mack Brown before returning home.
< Texas assistant coach Tim Brewster did a great recruiting job with
< Johnson,
< who listed Texas No. 1 throughout the recruiting process.
< Johnson said he chose Texas because "I love their offense. They really
run
< a
< pro-type offense. It's a dream offense for a wide receiver."
< Johnson is the 15th early commitment for Texas and is the ninth one who
is
<
< listed on one or more national top 100 teams.
< The other eight recruits who have been listed on top national teams are
DE
<
< Chase Pittman, 6-5, 263, 4.7, of Shreveport Evangel; LB Garnett Smith,
< 6-3,
< 221, 4.54, of Arlington Lamar, DTs Sonny Davis, 6-1, 320, 5.0, of Gulf
< Coast
< JC in Mississippi and formerly of Austin Lanier, Earl Anderson, 6-4, 270,

< 4.8, of San Marcos, Lyle Sendlein, 6-4, 260, 4.8, of Scottsdale
< Chaparral,
< the two-time defending Class 4A champion in Arizona; OLs Brett Valdez,
< 6-4,
< 310, 5.1, of Brownwood and Neale Tweedie, 6-5, 260, 4.9, of Allen; and
< TE
< David Thomas, 6-3, 210, 4.6, of Wolfforth Frenship;
< Davis made all of the top national lists last year.
< The other Longhorn pledges are DT Tully Janszen, 6-4, 255, 4.78, of
< Keller;
< LBs Brian Robison, 6-3, 245, 4.6, of Splendora and Marcus Myers, 6-3,
220,
<
< 4.5, of Pflugerville Connally; WR Dustin Miksch, 6-0, 165, 4.4, of
Round
<
< Rock Westwood; QB Billy Don Malone, 6-2 1/2, 185, 4.7, of Paris North
< Lamar, and RB/Ath Clint Haney, 5-11, 190, 4.27 of Smithson Valley.
< DB Matthew Melton of Tyler John Tyler had planned to come to Texas on an
< unofficial visit, but was not able to make it. He told me he is planning
< to
< commit to Texas soon.

< RECRUITING NOTES: Super QB Vincent Young, 6-5, 200, 4.4, of Houston
< Madison
< says his top two teams right now are Texas and Miami. Young is one of the

< nation's top quarterback prospects. He also is an outstanding basketball
< player, but wants to concentrate on football in college. . . The
< Texas-Oklahoma game Saturday will be a big factor in deciding where
< several
< top recruits go, including OL Justin Blolock of Plano East, DE Larry
< Dibbles
< of Lancaster, LB Aaron Harris of North Mesquite and DE Bryan Pickryl of
< Jenks, Oklahoma. All of them are national top 100 recruits.
< * * * *
< FOOTBALL NOTES: UT defensive coordinator Carl Reese is an advocate of
< in-your-face man-for-man pass defense and all-out blitzing to put
pressure
< on
< the quarterback, but he changed his tactics against Texas Tech's passing
< circus, playing about 95% zone defense and usually rushing only two or
< three
< linemen. Look for similar tactics against Oklahoma Saturday. But Reese
< said
< it won't be so similar that the Sooners can figure on seeing the same
< things
< the Horns used with such success Saturday night. "You have to keep them
< guessing," he said. "These spread offenses are making us all do things we

< never thought we'd do."

< BASKETBALL RECRUITING NOTES: Stephanie Thiel, a 5-9 combo guard at
< two-time
< defending Class A champion Nazarethe, has committed to Texas. She was the

< State Tournament Class A MVP as a junior in leading Nazareth to the state

< title. She averaged 21.2 points a game, and, like all Nazareth players,
is
<
< strong defensively and is an excellent ball handler and passer. . . Brad

< Buckman, the 6-8 power forward from Austin Westlake who is ranked as one
< of
< the nation's top 50 basketball prospects, took his official visit to
Texas
<
< over the weekend and has narrowed his choices to Texas and North
Carolina.
< He
< visited North Carolina earlier and also visited Kansas, but he has
< eliminated
< the Jayhawks.
