O. Box 26530, Austin, Texas 78755 - Phone= =20 512-795-8536 UT Baseball Team in Regional; Football Recruiting Picking Up Steam The slumping Longhorn baseball team made the 64-team NCAA Touarnment field,=20 getting a No. 3 seed in a sub-regional at Stanford. The Longhorns, 34-24 overall after going 0-2 despite a No. 3 seed in the Big= =20 12 Tournament, also got a No. 3 seed in the Palo Alto tourney. The Longhorns= =20 will play No. 2 seed Long Beach State (35-21) in a first-round game Friday =20 at 5 p. m. Texas time (3 p.m. Pacific time) in the double-elimination=20 tournament. Stanford, the top seed at 42-14, will play No. 4 seed Marisa (32-19) in the=20 other first round game Friday. The first-round losers will play an elimination game at 1 p.m. Texas time=20 Saturday, with the first-round winners meeting at 5 p.m. Texas time. At that= =20 point, one team will be 2-0 and will advance to the finals. The other two=20 surivivors will be 1-1 and will play an elimination game at 9 p.m. Texas tim= e=20 Saturday. The Saturday night survivor will meet the unbeaten team at 3 p.m. Texas time= =20 Sunday. If the unbeaten team wins, the tourney is over. If it loses, the tw= o=20 teams will meet again at 7 p.m. Sunday for the title. The 16 survivors of the sub-regionals will meet in two-team super regionals=20 June 1-3 at sites to be determined. All of the super regionals will be best=20 two out of three series. Suspended pitcher Albert Montes has rejoined the team after missing the Big=20 12 tourney. Big 12 champion Nebraska is seeded No. 1 and is hosting a sub regional. Texa= s=20 Tech is a No. 3 seed at Cal State Fullerton. Oklahoma State is a No. 3 seed=20 at a sub regional at Tulane. Baylor is a No. 4 seed at Rice, which is seeded= =20 No. 1 in its regional. * * * * Basketball coach Rick Barnes apparently has no plans to add another recruit=20 in the wake of junior forward Maurice Evans' surprising decision to hire an=20 agent, which makes him ineligible to return for his senior year. Evans had=20 said earlier he was going to make himself available for the NBA draft, but=20 Barnes and everyone else expected him to return. By hiring an agent, he made= =20 that impossible. Evans is a good college player, but, at 6-5, he is not an accomplished=20 dribbler and there are no 6-5 guys in the NBA who are not accomplished=20 dribblers. I don't know what he will be doing next basketball season, but I=20 will be shocked if he is playing in the NBA. * * * * The Longhorn football coaches have wrapped up four weeks of travel and talen= t=20 evaluation, and now they are zeroing in on the top prospects they have found= . There are a lot of kids who already are well known, but four players really=20 shot to the top of many college lists during the evaluation period. They are= =20 CB Michael Hawkins, 6-1, 180, 4.4, and LB-DE Glenn Jackson, 6-2, 220, 4.6,=20 both of Carrollton Turner; OL Tony Ugoh, 6-4, 275, 5.1, of Spring Westfield,= =20 and LB-DE Nick Owino, 6-2, 225, 4.6, of Alief Elsik. UT is one of the many=20 schools in hot pursuit of this talented quartet. Owino is the lightning quick DE the Longhorns have been searching for ever=20 since this staff arrived and Jackson is lightning quick, too, and might wind= =20 up at DE, too. I'm not saying they are Tony Brackens, but they have great potential and=20 could develop into that type of player. Both head coach Mack Brown and defensive coordinator Carl Reese have been=20 eager to sign some good speed rushers to play DE, and, after studying tape o= f=20 both Owino and Jackson, I think they are just what the Longhorns have been=20 seeking. The first Longhorn summer camps will start June 2. Some of the top recruits=20 who plan to make one of the early June camps are DTs Earl Anderson of San=20 Marcos and Lyle Sendlein of Scottsdale, Arizona, and CB Donald Burgs of=20 Houston Madison. Sendlein and Burgs are both strong Longhorn leans and might= =20 commit early. Anderson also likes the Longhorns, but has said he probably=20 won't commit early. LB Andy Matakis of Corpus Christi Flour Bluff is an interesting recruit. He=20 came to Texas as a heralded player from Pennsylvania, but did not have a=20 great season last year, his first in Texas. But he came from a state where=20 below-the-waist blocking is not allowed in high school, and it will be=20 interesting to see what he does this year after getting accustomed to having= =20 people diving at his knees. He is big and fast at 6-3, 225 and 4.6, and migh= t=20 blossom into a big-time prospect. * * * * My next e-mail/fax will be whenever events warrant. * * * * The True Orange Fax Service includes at least 99 fax/e-mails a year and=20 costs $99 ($79 by E-Mail).
