O. Box 26530, Austin, Texas 78755 - Phone 512-795-8536 Quan Cosby Signs 5-Year Pact with Angels, Gives Up Football Quan Cosby of Mart, one of the Longhorns' prize recruits, signed a five-year baseball contract with the California Angels and said his football playing days are over. It came as a shock to the Longhorn coaches and to me and most other Longhorns. You just don't expect a sixth-round draft choice to get enough money to give up football. But Cosby told me he got close to first-round money. "I told them what it would take for me to give up football, and that's what they came up with," he said. Cosby, a fleet wide receiver who was expected to see action at Texas this season, said baseball is "easier on the body, so I probably will be able to play baseball longer than I could have played football." Asked if he might return to Texas to play football if his baseball career doesn't work out as planned, he said, "That's a possibility, but I'm figuring on playing baseball for a long time." Texas A&M QB Marki Farris is an example of a player who tried pro baseball, then returned to play college football after several years. Cosby declined to say how much he signed for, but did say it included tuition and fees to attend Texas for four years to get his degree. UT head coach Mack Brown said, "The reason a young man comes to college is to better his life and we gave Quan an opportunity to do that. If he feels it is better for him to play professional baseball, then we are excited for him. We're disappointed short-term that he will not be coming to Texas this fall, but if he ever decides he wants to give up baseball and come to college we'd be happy to have him." * * * * Cosby's decision to go the pro baseball route probably will mean the Longhorns will try to sign three wide receivers this year. They had homed in on Marquis Johnson of Champaign, Illinois, and Anthony Wright of Klein Forest, but they probably will step up their efforts on Xavier McQuire of Dallas Carter and DaBryan Blanton of Forney. Blanton is a running back at Forney, but his slight build and blazing speed (20.37 fully automatic 200 meters at the state meet) will see him move to wide receiver or cornerback at the next level. McQuire was at the Texas summer camp that ended today (Wednesday) and he said he had a good time, but was still considering several schools. DE Dontriel Coates, 6-3, 270, 4.8, of Anahuac, attended the Texas mini-camp Sunday and is being recruited by the Longhorns. He says his big three are Kentucky, Texas and Arkansas. On tape, he looks like a fine outside pass rusher. Like DT Earl Anderson of San Marcos, a Longhorn pledge, he has an explosive start. The Longhorns didn't appear to get any additional commitments Wednesday, but that could change Thursday when all the kids get home. I told you in my last e-mail/fax about the new NCAA rule interpretation that prohibits coaches taking commitments at summer camps. Texas has four early commitments. In addition to Anderson, they are DT Lyle Sendlein of Scottsdale, Arizona, DT Sonny Davis, who is attending junior college in Mississippi after graduating from Austin Lanier, and OL Brett Valdez of Brownwood. * * * * Marc Pittman, father of Cole Pittman, the UT defensive tackle who was killed in an automobile accident in February, was at the Longhorn practice Wednesday with his other son, DE Chase Pittman, a top 100 national recruit, plus several other Shreveport Evangel stars, including John David Booty, a 6-2, 195-pound quarterback who might be the nation's top sophomore prospect, and another outstanding sophomore, DE Chris Bowers, 6-3, 232. He also brought two top defensive backs who are being highly recruited from Evangel. They are Jonathan Wade, 5-10, 175, 4.3 (he ran a 10.25 100 meters in April), and Chad Johnson, 5-11, 185, 4.4. * * * * BASEBALL NOTES: James Sweeney, the outstanding catcher Texas signed, has inked a pro contract, and Vincent Sinisi, the top slugger the Horns signed a year ago, has transferred to Rice after redshirting this year at Texas because of persistent problems with a rib injury. * * * * My next e-mail/fax will be whenever events warrant. * * * * The True Orange E-Mail/Fax Service includes at least 99 fax/e-mails a year and costs $99 ($79 by E-Mail).
