There’s a “situation?”I think that we can all agree that we would be so excited to see Zach Evans in the orange in white. However, he’s got many other schools in mind. He recently visited rocky top and it was clear to see that he enjoyed it. Will Zach Evans be a vol?
well, he's certainly been recruiting him for a while, so i would imagine, yes, CJG probalby knows what's up in regards to evans....good and bad.Jay Graham can handle this guy. Bring him on.
Tennessee will be fine with or without Zach Evans, I have always believed QB is the most important position on a football team. The difference between good and great, RB not so much.
i don't disagree, in general. i do agree that Evans isn't a 'must get'. i like our RB room and OL as well. as @sjt18 said, he's a luxury....Pretty much this. We get a QB who is a downfield threat, and with the personnel that we have on the oline, we should be able to have a competitive running game with the current set of backs on the roster.
No need to bring a head-case into the locker room and start causing distractions with his nonsense.

the only thing i would say is, i just don't think 1 guy would affect this locker room, or this staff. he'd either "get it"....or he wouldn't be here/play. i don't see guys like Trey Smith allowing knuckleheads to knucklehead......know what i mean?
no way you go in to a recruitment like this, as seriously as we have, and not have covered that on some level....i'd imagine some sort of expectations have been communicated.
but yeah, in general, i agree...no need to sign up for potential problems if you don't have to.
which is also why i think this situation is different than when Kiffin got brown in 09.
He's a luxury.... not a need. Obviously his talent helps if he isn't a problem on the team.
UT is deep enough at RB to take him and then cull him if he doesn't work out.
juice has to be worth the squeeze for sure.I'm risk-averse when it comes to bringing an 'agent of chaos' into the system that seems to be working fairly well at the moment. Nearly every season we see some college team dealing with the antics of a player to whose actions end up tainting the accomplishments of the whole.
On the other hand, “A chain is only as strong as it’s weakest link.”juice has to be worth the squeeze for sure.
i 'think' our culture at this point is strong enough to where you can get a kid like this and it wind up being good for us, and him.
it's no guarantee tho.....but for a kid that talented......i'm not opposed to it.
if it doesn't work out, we aren't out much....actually very little risk for us, imo....we're not in the position of this being a "must get".....
agree.On the other hand, “A chain is only as strong as it’s weakest link.”
Exactly. No need for distractions. It’s never worth it ... almost a guarantee the team will lose more than it gains. Teams that win consistently bond and play as a team. Want a “mess”, consider the recent Pittsburgh Steeler teams ...I'm risk-averse when it comes to bringing an 'agent of chaos' into the system that seems to be working fairly well at the moment.
