Ags, Homs haul in impressive talen
From the Associated Press
The University of Texas and
Texas A&M held their own against
outside raids of state schoolboy foot
ball talent on national signing day
Wednesday, with Longhorn Head
Coach David McWilliams gathering
an excellent crop and Aggie Head
Coach Jackie Sherrill proving he
hasn’t lost his touch as a master re
cruiter.
UCLA, LSU and Oklahoma stole
away with some of the state’s top
blue chip recruits, leaving Southwest
Conference schools other than A&M
and UT scrambling for picked-over
talent.
Kevin Williams of Spring High
School, the top-rated running back
in the nation, signed with UCLA,
while LSU and Oklahoma each got
three of the state’s top 15 prospects.
LSU signed top blue chippers in
linebacker Tyrone Malone of Fort
Bend Willowridge and star running
back-defensive back Wayne Williams
of Brazoria, while Oklahoma got
highly sought linebacker Joe Bow
den of North Mesquite and running
backs Ike Lewis of Wilmer-Hutch-
ings and Reggie Finch of Irving
MacArthur.
Texas landed a carload of beefy
linemen, includirtg blue chippers
Turk McDonald of DeSoto, top-
rated Tommy Jeter of Deer Park
and Paul Moriarty of Conroe Mc
Cullough.
Talented Willie Mack Garza of
Refugio, who will play defensive
bapk and return punts, signed with
the Longhorns, as did hard-throw
ing Sherman quarterback Jason Bur
leson.
“We felt we got a real solid group
of players,” McWilliams said. “We
really needed some help in the lines
of scrimmage and we felt we got it.

McWilliams said he felt Burleson

“He can throw the ball and we be

“Garza should be a great punt re

Sherrill added to an already tal
ent-deep A&M roster that has won
three straight SWC titles and deci
mated Notre Dame 35-10 in the Cot
ton Bowl.
Blue chip running back Robert
Wilson of Houston Worthing, the
second best back in Texas, signed
with the Aggies, who also got three
of the best junior college players in
the nation: tight end Mike Jones and
defensive lineman Pat Cunningham
of Sacramento Junior College, and
John Cooper, a defensive back from
Tyler JC.
“We got as much quality as we’ve
had in any year since I’ve been
here,” Sherrill said. “We got quality

SMU signs 10 recruits
to start new football era
DALLAS (AP) — Nearly a year af
ter the NCAA slapped its harshest
penalty in its history on Southern
Methodist’s football program, new
head coach Forrest Gregg signed 10
high school seniors to scholarships
Wednesday, the first in the new era
of Mustang football.
Gregg personally greeted each
new player and his family as they
came to the SMU football office to
sign letters of intent.
But signing dgy wasn’t the media
and alumni circus it has been in pre
vious years.
“This is a great day for us,” Gregg
said. “We are very pleased with the
caliber of student-athletes joining
our program. They can compete in
the tough league that the Southwest
Conference is.”
The NCAA handed SMU its so-
called “death penalty” last Feb. 24,
canceling the school’s 1987 football
season and restricting the number of
scholarships for 1988 because of re
cruiting violations connected with a
pay-for-play scandal.
“We were handcuffed to our
chairs and our telephones,” Gregg
said of his staff s recruiting effort.
Despite the publicized scandal
that reached all the way to the Texas
governor’s mansion, dozens of high
school seniors from as far away as
California and Colorado visited
SMU on weekends and many sent vi
deotapes of them during high school
performances, he said.
Part of the reason is Gregg, a well-
respected SMU alumni who quit the
National Football League’s Green
Bay Packers head coaching job to
come to Dallas.
Although SMU has decided not to
field a team in 1988, Gregg said 15
new recruits and walk-ons will begin
practice in August with 10 walk-ons
and four scholarship players left
from 1986.
“It’s going to be a productive pro
gram,” Gregg said.
“We don’t want to neglect the de
velopment of these football players.”
“We’ll start out looking at films
and then we will progress to the field
and do a lot of individual technique,
fundamental work.
“Next year we’ll have 25 (schol
arships) available. Then we can fill in
as tar as we need. This year, our idea
was just to take 15 kids we feel can
play in the Southwest Conference.”
Some of the players who signed
letters of intent to play at SMU ini
tiated the contact with Gregg.
New Mustang Kyle Carroll, a 6-4,
270-pound, offensive tackle from
Big Spring, said he wrote a letter to
SMU after Gregg arrived from
Green Bay last month.
“I’d probably be at a Division II
school or a junior college if it wasn’t
for this,” Carroll said.
“I’ve always wanted to go to SMU.
I remember watching them back
when (Eric) Dickerson and Craig
James were the Pony Express.”
The first player to publicly de
clare his intent to attend SMU,
Omar Thompson of Wichita Falls,
said Gregg called him two weeks ago
after seeing his performance on a vi
deotape a high school teammate sent
to SMU.
“Coach Gregg said it was like God
brought us together,” Thompson
said.
“Last year when he coached for
the Packers, he never planned to be
coaching for college and I never
planned to be attending SMU.”
The Mustang’s biggest recruit,
Trey Cowan, a 6-7, 310-pound of
fensive tackle from Wichita Falls,
said he doesn’t think he would have
been able to go to SMU if this were a
normal year for the school.
“I’d be playing Southwest Confer
ence ball, but I don’t think it would
have been here.
“This is as good as it gets,” Cowan
said, adding the school’s academic
opportunities were a big lure.
The Mustangs signed two pro
spective quarterbacks, Mike Romo of
San Antonio Roosevelt and Casey
Clyce of Highland Park.
Gregg described both as “passing
quarterbacks.”
“I don’t care where you are, what
league you’re in, you have got to
have two quarterbacks,” Gregg said.
Also signed Wednesday were
Andy Bergfeld, 6-3, 180, SE, Tyler
Lee; Jason Helms 6-4, 225, TE, Aus
tin Johnston; Uzo Okeke, 6-1, 218,
DT, Garland; Drew Randall, 6-3,
230, TE, Irving MacArthur; and
Kenny Rea, 6-2, 238, DE, Duncan

Sherrill called Jones and Cun

tential first-stringers next season. He
said Cooper “is a real plum.” The
Aggies outfought UCLA for Jones.

Methodist, meanwhile, began its new

“This is really a great day for us,”

For me and other Southern
hockey fans this is a tragedy.
There just isn’t any live hockey
action in Texas.
When I talk about hockey peo
ple look at me oddly. They look at
me as if I’m a foreigner — or
worse — a Yankee.
“Where are you from?” they
ask. “Are you from the East?”
No, I’m not from the East. I
was born and have spent half my
life in Fort Worth but that doesn’t
mean I can’t be an avid hockey
fan.
There are, of course, a number
of hockey fans on the A&M cam
pus. We just tend to keep a low
profile.
I saw a fellow fan today wear
ing a North Stars jersey and we
briefly reminisced about Tuesday
night’s NHL All-Star game.
Back in the dark ages Texas
did have hockey teams, but they
fizzled out.
I used to be able to enjoy
matches between the Fort Worth
Texans, the Dallas Blackhawks
and the Houston Aeros.
There was nothing like spend
ing a weekend night at the hockey
game.There were always the
fights and the fast action.
1 remember being very
pressed when the Texas t
shut down, leaving the siaieb
reft of live hockey.
However, an exhibitionm
