Recruits sign this week;
year of effort bears fruit
By Jeff Apel
Senior Editor
A year-long wait for Nebraska
men’s basketball coach Danny Nee
and women’s coach Angela Beck will
come to a decisive conclusion
Wednesday when the early signing
period for high-school and junior
college basketball players begins.
Nee and Beck said they arc anxious
for the week-long signing period to
begin because they both have spent
almost a year recruiting potential
athletes. Both coaches said the re
cruiting process begins with a phone
call or a questionnaire and climaxes
on the first day recruits are allowed to
sign national letters of intent.
“It’s a long process,” Nee said.
“You sec the kids, you make a home
visit, you tell them about the program
— then hopefully they will sign.
“It makes me anxious - very much
so.”
Beck agreed.
“You work hard all summer and
now you start to sec results,” Beck
said. “It’s exciting.”
Beck said she is particularly
pleased with her recruiting class be
cause she has already received four
verbal commitments. She said the
players who plan to sign Wednesday
include three post players and a guard.
“We had a real good summer,”
Beck said. “Everything fell into
i place.”
■ Beck said the Comhuskcrs may
I add a fifth recruit if another commit
L ment is made during the early signing
period. She said Nebraska wants to get
m all of its recruiting finished by Nov.
18.
“We want to sign them early,”
Beck said. “Thai’s our philosophy.”
Nee said there is a trend developing
among college recruits to sign early
rather than wail until the next spring.
He said about 60 to 70 percent of all
athletes sign between Nov. 11 and 18.
“That’s in the last couple years,”
Nec said.
Nec said he doesn’t know how
many recruits he will sign during the
early period. Nec couldn’t comment
on any of his potential recruits be
cause that would violate NCAA rules,
he said.
Two players Nec was recruiting —
James Voskvillc from Calvin Chris
tian High School in Grandville,
Mich., and forward Michael Brown
from James Madison High School in
Houston, Texas — have indicated
they arc going elsewhere.
Tom Vandcrlana, Voskville’s
high-school coach, said the 6-foot-7
forward will attend Michigan. He said
although Voskvillc enjoyed his re
cruiting visit to Lincoln and was
impressed by Nec, the Wolverines’
engineering college and strong bas
ketball tradition steered him away
from Nebraska.
Waller Yates, Brown’s high
school coach, said the 6-foot-6 for
ward vull attend Wyoming. Brown
attends the same high school that
produced Nebraska defensive end
Broderick Thomas.
Another player being recruited by
Nec, 6-fool-5 Anthony Peeler of
Pasco High School in Kansas City,
Mo., will wait until spring to sign, said
Pasco coach Willie Bowie.

f ueity s overcompensation
[ condescends to simple folk
f BOOK from Page 8
Lincoln spreading fitfully under the
| duress of an ever-increasing demand
f on Us enrollment. Its architecture is a
rummage of style and shade; its epi
dermis a variety of brick and stone
and, as a concession to modern tastes,
glass and metal. An aerial view is
dominated by two enormous grain
silos on the north edge of town and to
the west is the Memorial Football
Stadium.”
Similarly, Doug Looney contem
plates the state’s reliance on the al
mighty pigskin in a 1975 issue of the
same magazine:
‘‘It’s not as if there’s nothing in the
state of Nebraska except football.
You can go to a museum in Lincoln
and sec the fossil of the world’s largest
elephant. Or sit on a fence and wail for
a pheasant to fly up. Or go to any town
and applaud the changing traffic sig
nal, booing when it gets stuck on
yellow.
“Or you can do some dull things.
It’s up to you. What happened, for
those of you that slept through this in
school, is that when God went to work
creating Nebraska, He thought: ‘OK,
I keep giving other areas of this coun
try mountains, beaches, stuff like that.
Everywhere I look, beauty. I need
change.’ What resulted is a landscape
of wall-to-wall dust. It’s the perfect
environment if you’re a vacuum
sweeper. To try to make up, God later
gave Nebraska football.”
For those of us who would much
rather buy a pint of Yukon Jack,
trudge out into the country and sit on
a fence watching pheasants lift off in
a blur of concentrated autumn while
the sky snaps and cracks around us as
if it’s made of glass, than be conde
scended to by a mere game, God
overcompensatcd.
Ohio high-school star
considering Nebraska
Hy Kent hndacott
Staff Reporter
One of the top high-school basket
ball players in Ohio may sign with
Nebraska, his coach said Monday.
Mansfield (Ohio) Senior High
coach Joe Prats said DaPreis Owens, a
6-foot-9 center projected as a power
forward in college, is deciding be
tween Nebraska, Cleveland Stale and
Tennessee. He said Owens will visit
Tennessee this weekend before decid
ing.
Prats said Owens will sign during
the early signing period, which begins
Wednesday.
Owens averaged 22 points and six
rebounds a game as a junior. He also
set a school record with 96 blocked
shots.
He runs the floor very well,” Prats
said. “He handles the ball well for his
size.”
He said Owens is a great juniper.
“He touches 11-6 on the back
board,” Prats said.
Owens attended the Kansas-Nc
braska football game during his visit
to Lincoln. Prats said Owens came
back from his recruiting visit brag
ging about what he saw.
“It wasn’t a very close game, but
not many of them have been,” he said.
“But anyway, he was very impressed
with the facilities. He really liked it.”
Prats said 60 major colleges have
offered Owens scholarships. He had
been deciding between five schools,
but recently eliminated Ohio State
and DcPaul from his list, Prats said.
Bears coach displeased
My Inc Associated Press
LAKE FOREST, 111.—Coach
Mike Dilka has nothing against win
ning, hut he’s not happy about the way
his Chicago Bears arc doing it these
days.
“That’s not the way we’ve de
signed it,” Ditka said Monday of the
three come-from-bchind triumphs
since the end of the NFL players’
strike. “It defies exploration.’’
What bothers Ditka most is that the
Bears aren’t playing ‘‘Bear Football,”
which is a combination of strong
running attack along with defense.
