Daily Nebraskan
Stokers sign 18 recruits to letters;
three more standouts still undecided
By Tim Hartmann
Senior Reporter
Dave Gillespie, Nebraska's on-campus
recruiting coordinator, announced the
signing of 18 high-school athletes and
two junior-college transfers to letters of
intent on Wednesday, the first day
recruits could sign with the school of
their choice,
Football coach Tom Osborne was out
of town and unavailable for comment.
In addition to the players signed,
Gillespie said, Nebraska will possibly
sign two more players. Among the play
ers still considering Nebraska are
Mickey Joseph, a quarterback from
New Orleans' Bishop Shaw High School,
Omaha Central High School running
back Leodis Flowers and Anthony Ray,
a running back from Wharton, Texas.
Earlier in the day Emmitt Smith, the
Parade Magazine Player of the Year,
announced that he would sign with
Florida. Smith had narrowed his choi
ces down to Nebraska, Auburn and
Florida before today's announcement.
"It's disappointing," Gillespie said.
"He (Smith) showed a lot of interest in
us . . . but we weren't surprised (he
signed with Florida)."
Gillespie said the fact that Nebraska
got a late start in the recruiting of
Smith may have hurt its chances of
signing him.
Gillespie said Nebraska was pleased
with this year's recruiting class, espe-

daily because two players from Chi
cago and Massachusetts, areas where
the Huskers have had little recruiting
success, were signed.
"We feel like it's a very good recruit
ing class," he said. "We're very pleased
with them as individuals and players."
The Massachusetts players were
wingbackdefensive end Mike Croel
and linebackerdefensive tackle Joe
Sims, both all-state selections from
Lincoln-Sudbury High School.
From Chicago, Nebraska was able to
recruit 6-3, 260-pound offensive tackle
Wayne Keneipp and Parade All-American
wide receiver Nate Turner.
Gillespie said that signing the Chi
cago players was not a surprise, even
considering Nebraska's past success in
the area
"The only surprise is that we have
not been in that area, done well in
that area in the past," he said.
Seven players are from Nebraska,
including three from Class A football
champion Omaha Creighton Prep.
Running back George Achola, defen
sive endlinebacker Daryl Leise and
tight end Dan Lohmeier, all all-state
selections, committed to Nebraska.
Other Nebraska players who signed
with the Cornhuskers were Tim Her
man, a 6-6, 240-pound linebacker from
Lincoln Southeast High School; Pat
Engelbert, a Columbus Scotus High
School defensive tackle; Erik Wiegert,
a Fremont Bergan High School defen
sive end and Brian Brown, a defensive
tackle from Republican Valley High
Savage scores
By Rich Cooper
Staff Reporter
When Nebraska gymnast Crystal
Savage was a little girl, her father
would throw her into the air and
catch her in his arms.
Eventually, though, her father
told her she was too big to be
thrown into the air, so iha decided
to do her own tumbling.
Savage has consistently been the
Cornhuskers', No. 2 gymnast this
season. In the last two meets, she
has recorded the two highest scores
of her career. Against Utah Feb. 2,
Savage scored a 37.20 and at the
Heartland Invitational against Ariz
ona State and Oklahoma Saturd:y
night in Lincoln, she finished fourth
in the 'ail-around with a 37.25.
Savage, a sophomore frora fhux

Thursday, February 12, 1937
School in Indianola.
Nebraska continued its recruiting
success in Texas, where four players
signed. William Thomas, a 6-1, 180
pound safety from Houston and the
brother of Nebraska's all-Big Eight
Conference defensive end Broderick
Thomas, signed, as did quarterback
Keithen McCant, offensive tackle Jeff
Chaney and tight enddefensive end
Chris Garrett.
Two Colorado players signed with
Nebraska. They were Brian Boerboom, a
6-7, 250-pound offensive lineman, and
defensive back Tahaun Lewis, both of
Colorado Springs.
Nebraska also signed 6-3, 190-pound
Reggie Cooper of Slidell, La., High
School. Cooper, a defensive endstrong
safety, was named the most valuable
defensive player in Louisiana in 1986.
The two junior-college transfers,
running back Bryan Carpenter and def
ensive back Tim Jackson, came from
Coffeyville, Kan., Junior College and
are already on campus.
Gillespie said the fact that Nebraska
vas placed on probation after a ticket
violation last season had no effect on
recruiting.
"I think it was very insignificant,"
he said. "In fact, I can't even recall any
major questions from prospects or
parents."
This season was the second year
' Proposition 48, a rule requiring college
athletes to attain certain scores on
either the ACT or SAT college-entrance
tests, was in effect.
During her career with the Sioux
Falls club, Savage was a vaulting
finalist in the 1035 Junior Olympic
meet. She also finished fourth in the
1985 Class I Reonals and was
vaulting champion at the 1984
Western Nationals.
