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.
Yep, but I'm wary of him given his history....or reports of it.
Every kid we have and will recruit is a risk to get on the field either by injury or the fact they are 18 year old dudes. Not everyone is going to come rolling into the hill like To’oto’o or Eric berry. I’m not saying character isn’t important but sometimes you gotta recruit the da’ricks and brays if they are elite and see where it goes. If coach Pruitt had his shot with those boys I’d bet they would have been even more productive.Talent means jack if you never get on the field though. If it's too hard to follow personally, don't and tune back in August.
I never understood why fans take dramatic recruitments so personally. This kid is a potential game changer at RB, we have zero to lose trying to get him at this point. We are filing spots with best available and I’m no expert but this kid qualifies. If he messes around and ends up elsewhere I just prefer he stay away from the East. If we end up landing this kid, i think most of us will be celebrating.
My favorite of all time was rueben foster getting the auburn tattoo then going to bama. That kid was an absolute stud and I’d have gladly cheered him on in orange with a Florida tattoo if he had it.Don't you know his refusal to give up his cell, the fact he hasn't settled on his college destination and the fact that recruiting"journalists" can't get a read on him are all personal affronts to the morally righteous, upstanding citizens on this board?
It's truly horrible what he is putting everyone through and @Frankly I won't stand for it!
When asked his thoughts on the Texas offense a few years ago he said he would base his judgement on how they faired against a good defense like Oklahoma’s....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.
Then you and @volatil can finally have that long talk and hug it out.Losing Cam Akers to FSU hurt me bad. Getting Joseph and Wideman this year makes me feel a little better. Adding Evans will make me whole.
