                    MOORE'S COMMENTS REGARDING SIGNEES

*"This year's recruiting class is made up of fine young men.  They are
 atletic, they can run, and they are truly good people."
*"We spent a great deal of our efforts in recruiting defensive players, and
 felt we have addressed all of our needs in the makeup of this class.  We
 are so pleased to welcome these young men into our program, and we know
 they are going to have a tremendous impact over the next few seasons."
*"I am impressed with the young men we have signed, and in particular, we
 were able to attract 11 in-state players to join us.  I think the first
 thing to be noticed about this group is the fact that they can all run.  The
 game is so athletic now, and the teams that are able to put people on the
 field who can run on both sides of the ball seem to be the most successful."
