They bet ter get used to playing without them. Sanders is recovering from toe surgery and Lett is suspend ed for failing yet another drug test. The team has no idea when either will be back; there’s a good chance neither will suit up before October. So with their preseason open er a week away and the regular season kicking off Sept. 12, all the Cowboys can do is wait. “We just coach the guys who are here,” coach Chan Gailey said. “We work with the things we can control.” Sanders is with the team at Midwestern State University, continuing the rehabilitation on his rebuilt left big toe. He is allowed to jog straight ahead and he’s even playing some basketball, which forces him to flex his toes and put pres sure on them. Sanders attends every prac tice wearing a red do-rag with “Jesus” across the forehead.

It’s usually related to playing time. “It’s not all that uncommon that kids leave. But there were a lot of kids that left A&M.” Watkins coached two seasons as the head of the University of North Carolina-Charlotte pro gram and was hired at A&M in April of 1998 to revive a program which finished 11th in the Big 12 in 1998. He said roster changes are a part of the process of build ing a new team. “I haven’t [had roster changes before] to this degree, but coming in here, we had to overhaul the team,” Watkins said. “It’s something I’m not enjoying. There are kids I’m not returning, and that’s not something to rest my hat on. But we have to get on a solid foundation.” Sophomore guard Michael Schmidt is transferring to Niagara this season where he will sit out a year before becoming eligible in the fall of 2000. Guard Brian Barone, son of former coach Tony, transferred to Marquette University after a private meeting with Watkins a month after becoming coach.
