pitchers speed

In my opinion, neither one of these schools actively "recruit" arms in the 70's -- rightie or leftie. Both colleges you mention are very active on the local level, i.e., JUCO "feeders" -- especially ASU. And I imagine they occasionally find kids that can just flat out pitch, regardless of velocity. I don't say that to discourage you from purusing these schools, but look at their rosters. It is somewhat easier to be discovered when the coaches can either 1) see you more often (HS or JUCO), or 2) rely on a coach-friend/associate for constant feedback. Also, many of the local kids attend nearby schools because in-state tuition is much more reasonable than out-of-state and the college coach can "save" a little scholarship money.

Bighit's opinion (I know he has one) might be beneficial here.

I have followed UT baseball for a long time... and the only person fitting that description whom i can think of actually seeing daylight between the chalk was Justin Simmons. He was very successful early in his career but became less effective as time went on. There have been several mid 80's type guys on the hill though. Texas, like many schools has their set rotation and their "go-to" relievers. I definitely can't say they have a habit of putting in soft-tossing lefties, or righties for that matter.
