Texas Lady Longhorns Roster?

[Cooter Brown]

Texas is a BIG state by size and population and as a state school, funds go a lot further for in-state students.

With an athletic budget of over $100M, I don't think funds are an issue. Hell, the women's team planning on competing in the Bahamas for their Spring Break meet this upcoming season. They're not exactly hurting for cash.

[What's even more interesting is how many athletes from Texas are on rosters of teams outside the state. Yes, in track.

As for other sports well, when OU won their national championship a few years ago I believe 50 of their players were from Texas.

Having lived in Texas and holding dual Texas-Oklahoma citizenship, I am well aware of the breadth and depth of Texas athletic talent.
I think it is true every year the the OU football roster is numeridally dominated by Texas athletes.
Oklahoma State, once a perennial basketball power with nearly all Oklahoma players, now enjoys an occasional season in the sun with mostly out-of state players. I recall that circa 1950-51 OSU went deep into the NCAA post season tournament with three starters from the same El Reno, Oklahoma HS that won the state ch in 1949 (?)

After marvelling momentarily that there were 44 names on the roster ( isn't that a lot these days?) it was interesting that 36 were from Texas and only 8 from out of state, ( CA (2) GA, AZ, LA,CT, WI, BVI) with 3 sprinters, 3 distance and 2 jumpers from out of state

Pretty sure one of last year's freshman transferred to A&M as well...can't remember her name but I think she ran her high school track in Mansfield.

Looks like UT Lady Longhorns updated their roster, but it looks really weak in the short sprints (100/200). I'm not sure if they can field a competitive 4x100. Is this roster a complete list or are they expected to add a few more names?? Just kind of unusual to not see that many short sprinters (other than Chalonda G.)

Hopefully one of these days there will be a college board....
