University of Houston Athletic Director Tom Ford has filed an informal complaint with the Southwest Conference office saying that he suspects that 7-foot center Tito Horford, who has signed a letter of intent with Houston, is still being recruited by several other schools.

“I have not registered a formal complaint because so far I have no hard evidence, but I’m working on it,” Ford said.

Horford, who played for Houston Marion High School, signed with the Cougars in February but questions have been raised about the validity of the letter of intent. Horford, a native of the Dominican Republic, visited Kentucky, North Carolina, Louisiana State and UCLA before signing an early national letter with the Cougars.

Larry Holmes will defend his International Boxing Federation heavyweight title against Michael Spinks, the undisputed light-heavyweight champion, on Friday, Sept. 20, at Harrah’s Trump Plaza in Atlantic City, N.J. The fight had previously been announced, but no date had been set.
