'20 TX RB Zachary Evans

My kid the other day was doin sumthjn on the phone I’m like”Hit the pound sign when ur done”!Shes like”What’s the pound sign?”I’m just like hit the pound button kid,she’s like”Oh u mean the hashtag symbol”?Lol I’m just like 🤦‍♂️ kids gotta love em...

It's real name is an octothorp
 
If you remember Ricky Williams from Texas, he retired and said he never really liked football. I wonder if this kid even likes the game. If you read that article about him from back in the summer, it says as much.
He doesn’t watch the NFL or College football and growing up didn’t like playing the organized game. He was into drawing and origami. With his history, I think there’s a real risk he enrolls and bails after two weeks of training camp. Decruitment will be epic.
 
Whitehead is a Lb all day, and Small likely will be used like Mechole and Hill for the Chiefs. Odge and Evans at Rb
I like this setup. Gets Small in space where he can use his speed. Hodge can be your short down and distance hammer, maybe even lineup at FB from time to time. Whitehead can provide depth at LBer which we need. And Evans can split carries with Gray to keep both of them fresh.

Of course Ricky was a beast in college and even had a solid pro career once he removed his head from his backside and decided to play. As long as he kills it here is all I’m concerned with.

Very possible.
But my understanding is that the entire team turned them over. Don't know enough to comment much more than that but doesn't sound like ZE was singled out in this particular instance.

Definitely seems like the type not to respect authority just because it's expected. Seems more like the type whose gives respect when earned and he feels it's warranted.

This doesn't make him a bad kid but will definitely rub certain "authority figures" the wrong way. I feel like he is a good fit for our staff to mold him into a successful man.

This is just my feeling....I could be completely off base and he could just be a punk but comments from people around him make me pretty comfortable in my assessment.

Oh, I'm not painting Evans in a bad light, just saying that I'm not going to do that to the coach either.
We have no real info, so don't want to say things about the coach, just because we want this kid to work out at TN.

If we read that story in off topic, about a non athlete, probably be some comments but not likely about the, let's say, math club teacher.
(sure, math club sounds good😄)

He's a senior, the night before a state championship game though. He's known about this team policy for his entire career playing at that HS for that HC. Why was it now an issue the night before the state title game?

I'm weary of Evans...he could legit play the game until he enrolls in classes this summer (maybe). That NLI only being one per cycle and him already having gotten out of the one he did sign now gives him the "upper hand" so to speak.

I don’t know what to think about Evans. We want his talent but not the heartache. Based on reports, if you can get two complete seasons out of him it would be a miracle.

That is true if his intention is to be weird.

Might not have come up before since the game was out of town and they were staying overnight. I have no clue....also maybe he had an issue with it now because of the sick relative.

Doesn't surprise me that he refused with the reports that football isn't his top priority. I've said it before that I wouldn't want my kids to comply with that "rule".
