But he said his heart still belongs to the Longhorns. "I really like Texas," he said. "I had a nice time at A&M, but I don't think anyone is going to beat Texas." He said he probably will be ready to announce his college choice shortly after returning from Colorado, and he said he is almost positive that choice will be Texas. * * * * James Buchanan, 6-2, 240, 4.7, of Cardinal Mooney HS in Sarasota, Fla., is generally considered to be the nation's top fullback. He took an unofficial visit to Texas last month and said UT was one of his leaders. Now, he says his big three are Texas, Florida State and Miami and he said he hopes to make decision later this month. He is a tremendous blocker and a very tough inside power runner. * * * * Texas has 12 early commitments including seven offensive linemen. They are Terrance Young of Longview, Mike Garcia of Galena Park, Jonathan Scott of Dallas Carter, Abe Robinson of Houston Jersey Village, Roman Reeves of Livingston, Will Allen of Houston Cypress Falls and Alfio Randall of Blinn JC. The other pledges are QB/DB Kendal Briles of Frenship, MLB Yamil Lebron of Killeen Ellison, and DBs Cedric Griffin of San Antonio Holmes, Braden Johnson of Euless Trinity and Brian Carter of The Woodlands. Various natinal recruiting services are rating the Longhorns current recruiting class in the top three nationally at this point. * * * * My next fax will be whenever events warrant. * * * * The True Orange Fax Service includes at least 99 faxes a year and costs $99 ($79 by E-Mail).
