Byron Eaton & Gary Flowers

[Harris, Derek C]

I have to believe that we are the front runner 
for Byron Eaton & Gary Flowers.  Byron Eaton has
already visited Oklahoma State(unofficially), but 
did not commit.  Two of the 3 players he visited
Stillwater with committed to the Cowboys.  He told
Rivals.com that UC and Oklahoma State are his favorite
schools.  
Dallas (Texas) Lincoln standout Byron Eaton , a 5-foot-11 and 210 pounder,
not only must decide what college to attend, but what sport or sports to
play. Eaton has schools in hot pursuit for his talents in both football and
basketball.

"Mainly people don't think I'm going to play football in college, "Eaton
said. "Most people are recruiting me for basketball. But I'm going to sign
to play both."

"I'm just looking at Oklahoma State, Cincinnati, and Georgia Tech for a
basketball top three."

"If I was to go just football, Oklahoma and Kansas State would be there."

"But Kansas State said I can do both. Oklahoma is recruiting me for one
sport or the other. Illinois offered me for basketball. Baylor says both.
San Diego State is another one I'm looking at."

"Cincinnati and Oklahoma State are my favorites. Oklahoma State says I can
do both. Cincinnati is just basketball."

Eaton, who says he is being recruited as either a strong safety or running
back, led Lincoln to a 10-2 record during his junior season. He passed for
1000 yards and rushed for 1500. 

On the basketball court Eaton averaged 22.3 points per game, seven assists,
and 3.1 steals.

I think that Eaton is just waiting the outcome on our
coaching situation.  If Huggins gets reinstated in time to
do in home visits, this should be a done deal. If Eaton and
Flowers commit, to go along with Tyree Evans we should have
plenty of scoring options when they are sophomores.  Also,
Mike is their anyway we can start a file on Gary Flowers?  
He lit up the Addidas camp yesterday with a 27 point 8reb 
effort.
