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.
