Kansas baseball gets pitching during early signing period
By Dan Geiston Kansan sportswriter
The early signing period for the Kansas baseball team saw seven new Javahawks land in Lawrence.
Kansas filled some holes in the pitching staff, which was expected to have serious depth problems for the 1997 season, as four pitcher signed letters of intent.
"We needed to add more depth in our pitching staff, and I think we did that," Kansas baseball coach Bobby Randall said. "We're going to have a lot of older guys on our team next year, and we need players to step in and fill their spots."
Right-handed Josh Bailey will transfer from Hutchinson Community College, where he posted a 3-0 record for the Blue Dragons as a freshman.
The Scott City native played for the Wichita Broncos of the Jayhawk summer league last year and led them to a third place finish in the National Baseball Congress World Series in Wichita.
"He's getting some good experience at Hutchinson," Kansas pitching coach Wilson Kilmer said. "He can change speeds, and he has a good understanding of how to pitch."
Rusty Philbrick will be one of two left-handers to join the team next year. Philbrick, a two-year letter winner at Park Hill High School in Kansas City, Mo., went 2-3 with 12 saves and a 1.95 ERA in his sophomore season. However, he battled injuries last season, playing in just five games.
Randall said he took a chance on Philbrick because he has good movement on his pitches when he is healthy.
The other lefty on the staff will be Pete Smart. With an imposing 6-foot-7 frame, the Omaha, Neb., native had a 1.2 ERA at Westdale High School last year and led the team to a third place state finish. He was named all-district honorable mention.
"He needs some work mechanically," Kilmer said. "But he's been very successful wherever he's been. His height certainly helps, but it comes down to how he can pitch."
The final pitcher who signed is also a shortstop. Franco Martínez from Chatfield High School in Denver was an all-state selection after his sophomore and junior years. The right-hander went 10-0 as well as hitting 451 last season.
The other three players are position players. Paul Levins is a switch-hitting infielder from Garden City Community College. Levins, who attended high school at Wichita Southeast, was an honorable mention All-Jayhawk Conference, with a
.356 batting average and 28 RBI.A as freshman, he led the team in hits, 58, and RBI.28.
Jim Terrell, a shortstop from Blue Springs, Mo., hit .627 with 23 RBI last year for Tri-City Christian School.
Last June he traveled to Japan as part of the U.S. National Select Team, and in August the team went to Korea.
Hometown product Shane Wedd fulfills the team's need for a left-handed hitting catcher. The Lawrence High School senior also was heavily recruited by Kansas State but chose Kansas because of its closeness to home.
"The way he handles pitchers is his biggest strength," Lawrence baseball coach Lynn Harrod said. "He's the best mechanical catcher we've had at Lawrence High."
Harrod also said Wedd would be a great power hitter.
What is unusual about this year's recruiting class is that Randall, who is in his first year as head coach, has not seen any of the players in action.
"Even though I hadn't seen them play, we had good reports on them," he said. "Wilson has seen most of them."
Despite not seeing them play, Randall is happy with the new Jayhawks.
"We have some that will play and make a contribution right away and some who have a lot of growth to do," Randall said. "But they all have developing to do."
Recruiter denies NCAA charges
Former intern says Mississippi State knew what he did
The Associated Press
Boris Banks is listed in half of the eight NCAA violations the school admits occurred. The other four violations Mississippi State admits to involve the actions of a booster.
STARKVILLE, Miss. — A former Mississippi State football recruiting intern accused by the NCAA of rules violations says he did nothing wrong and won't let the school make him a scapegoat.
Banks will not go down by himself if he goes down, he told the Jackson Clarion-Ledger in yesterday's edition. "If they're not going to protect me, I'm not going to protect them. I know too much of what's going on."
In its twice-delayed response to an official NCAA letter of inquiry, Mississippi State answered to seven counts involving 20 allegations. The
University said in the response made public this week that evidence did not support 11 of the other allegations.
In the remaining allegation, Banks is accused of making improper contact with a recruit in December 1993. The school agreed that an off campus contact did occur, but claimed it wasn't a violation since Banks was a former employee at the time and acted on his own accord.
The NCAA charges, and Mississippi State concedes, that Banks offered cash, clothing and a car or house to prospect Lamont Green, and that Banks offered to have Miami Dolphins quarterback Dan Marino provide money to prospect Omar Rolle.
Banks denies both charges and says he doesn't know why Green and Rolle told the NCAA he had offered them things.
"That's the question I pray about so much," he said.
Banks said he plans to attend the hearing before the NCAA infractions committee in February. He said he will tell what he knows if the Univer-
"There was something way bigger than this going on," Banks said. "I'm not the bad person that Mississippi State says I am."
Banks admits to signing a document that said he would not make any recruiting calls while working at the University. His job was to call high school coaches to get film and check on prospects' transcripts.
Banks said the document about recruiting calls was a sham and that everybody knew about it. He pointed to the fact that he had a long distance access number and at times transferred calls to head coach Jackie Sherrill.
"Of course I signed a paper saying I wouldn't call recruits, but the coaches had me calling recruits," Banks said. "They know everything I did."
The NCAA letter of inquiry said Banks twice transferred recruiting calls to Sherrill, who has said he did nothing wrong.
"He said, 'I have so-and-so on the phone.' He never said he made the call," Sherrill has said.

Police learned about the fake tickets shortly before kickoff, when a crowd of ticket-holders tried to occupy seats 11 and 12 in Section 36, Row 69.
"There was simply no way that many people could be accommodated," said Capt. James Smiley of the campus Department of Public Safety. "We didn't have any place to put them, and there was no choice but to eject them from the stadium. Everybody that had a bogus ticket had to go."
The Associated Press
Police investigated reports that a man had sold the bogus tickets for $100 apiece. None of the buyers —

all of whom were from Ohio — admitted paying more than the $25 face value, police said.
Smiley said the counterfeit tickets apparently had been produced on a high-quality color copier.
"The printing isn't quite as clear, and the colors aren't quite as glossy, but it's easy to see how somebody would be fooled into thinking it was legitimate," he said. "It's also easy to see how a ticket taker who was in a hurry would accept it at the gate."
Investigators planned to question the season-ticket holder who owns the real tickets for the two contested seats, Smiley said. There was no evidence that person showed up for Saturday's game, he said.

Hurricanes to pull out of bowl pool
The newspaper, citing unidentified sources, said a decision could be announced by tomorrow. If Miami waits until bowl pairings are announced this weekend, the Big East co-champion would be forced to commit to a game.
Miami hopes to avoid NCAA sanctions by forfeiting its bid
BOSTON — The University of Miami will pull its football team from bowl consideration in hopes of avoiding NCAA sanctions that could keep it out of postseason play next year, The Boston Globe reported yesterday.
The Associated Press
"It's something we're considering. But we are still optimistic that the NCAA may inform us of their decision in the next few days."

Miami is expected to receive an invitation to the Orange, Gator or Carquest bowl. An Orange Bowl game against Notre Dame could make the school as much as $3 million profit. But some school officials believe next year's team will be much better than this season's,

Dropping out of consideration this season would benefit Virginia Tech, the other Big East co-champion at 9-2, which risked losing a major bowl to Miami.
Last month, Miami was charged with 10 rules violations following a four-year NCAA investigation.
