She chose the Longhorns over Kansas at the end after being recruited by top schools all over the country. She is lightning quick, and like the Longhorns' other early guard pledge, 5-7 Nina Norman of Jersey Village, has the passing and ball handling skills to play the point and the scoring ability to play shooting guard. The Longhorns also will get visits this weekend from a top center, Sabrina Keys, 6-2, of Berkeley, Cal., who has narrowed her choices to UT and Purdue, and from the nation's top junior prospect, 6-3 center Tiffany Jackson of Dallas Lincoln. Keys is a top rebounder who loves crashing the boards. In fact, she said the reason she isn't considering any Pac 10 schools is officials in that league "call too many picky fouls. In the Big 10 and Big 12, they let you play." The junior class of girls is one of the best in Texas high school history with lots of top talent, headed by Jackson, 6-5 Kalee Carey of Canyon, 6-0 Emily Niemann of Houston Westbury Christian and 6-2 lefthander Destiny Drew of Crosby. Carey's father is a graduate of the UT law school and both Niemann's parents are Texas' graduates. Both are considering Texas, but both are wide open at this point. Carey's AAU team, the West Texas Star Hawks, won the national AAU 16-and-under championship during the summer. She averaged 19 points, 11 rebounds and 8 blocks during the national tourney. The Star Hawks also defeated a highly touted California team three times in three meetings. The California team had three Tennessee signees on it. Niemann averaged 20.1 points, 10.1 rebounds and 2.6 blocks shots last year at Westbury Christian. She is an outstanding all-around player. Order Today! THE BURNT ORANGE COFFIN - Los Muertos No Hablan by Bill Holchak - BJ '49 UT alumni are stunned to learn that the greatest football recruit in Texas history and his father have been murdered on their remote hill country ranch. But the Longhorns triumph in the end when a UT-educated detective tracks down the killers - a group of international terrorists - and sends them to their graves.
