Evans did not publicly sign during the Early Signing Period, but plans to early enroll, meaning his destination will be known before National Signing Day in February. He is scheduled to reveal his commitment on Jan. 2. Experts believe Evans’ recruitment is down to Georgia and LSU with Texas A&M a long-shot and distant third. The 247Sports Crystal Ball is trending toward Georgia.
Evans is rated the No. 1 running back, No. 1 recruit out of Texas and No. 14 prospect overall in the class according to the Composite.
He is extremely talented, but he is going to be a challenge for some coach. Hopefully he grows up quickly.
With your simple mind, please explain to us what the h3ll would make you think he is going be to a ‘challenge’ for some coach?
I should just ignore you, but I’ll educate you instead. He was suspended twice his senior season for bad conduct, to include right before the state championship game. The kid is like you in that he has serious character issues. That is obvious to everyone but clowns like you.
I don’t usually get involved in personal back and forths, but I have to say that your take down of him was both AWESOME and Respectful. Next time just forget about the Respect and let him have it!!
Thank you sir.
Get a room you two.
I hope he didn’t sign with LSU. I hope he goes to Bama, ha! Seriously this kid has major character issues, perhaps he needs a father figure like Coach O or perhaps Coach O will not put up with 1 who thinks he’s the almighty of the same team that without him, wiped butt against another great team in the State Championship.
I wonder if he was talking to a recruiter. He’s probably getting a lot of calls from recruiters.
Don’t know the kids history, but on face it seems like a pretty minor issue to send a kid home for.
Might be a send the team a message kind of thing. no one is above the team.
Seems kind of late in the season to send a message to the team. Unless he did something egregious
it was his third strike.
If a kid can’t follow team rules in high school what do you think is going to happen in college? This is meant as a wake up call for the kid telling him if you can’t shape up here you aren’t going to make it in big time collegiate level.
Nobody can follow a no cell phone rule. Nobody.
He has inflated ego from recruiting process evidently. I think he is trending to LSU.
Nope, he’s got a ton of Crystal Balls to UGA. There’s some speculation he’s already signed.
I feel the opposite way, lol. I hope he’s trending to UDawgs. The team has a plethora of great players. he has serious issues.
Zach was suspended for 3 games in September for brawling with teammates and cussing out his coach, so that’s twice this year he’s been bounced for behavior. Someone may have a “de-recruitment” challenge on their hands. I’m a little surprised he’s seen as trending toward UGA – Jeff Sentell said just this past week that Kirby has slowed down UGA’s recruiting efforts with Zach recently.
We went down that road w Perrileaux with somebody that was so special. Don’t think he ever really amounted to much before getting booted off the team after 2 or 3 incidents. Added to our QB woes back then. Don’t blow it kid, good luck.
North Shore still won the game without Evans. The other team was without its star QB due to injury. Maybe this humbles Evans a bit.
Seems like he’s trending towards UGA based on 247 crystal balls. Hopefully the kid can improve his behavior so he doesn’t ruin a potentially promising future.
Word is Saban backed off of him too this year.Character issues.Pickens was said to have them last year in his recruiting and they showed up a couple of times this season. They have to grow up to play this game,some will some won’t.I don’t know if it’s worth it to Kirby to have to babysit another player.
Idk man have you seen his 3 cone time? It’s not all on Kirby either. The guys in the locker room have to take care of that as much as Kirby does.
Completely agree. The upperclassmen leadership “Should” take care of these issues. If he’s a rebel he’ll use the portal a time or two.
A the mother of two young men who played high school football in Texas and both received many offers and now play college ball in two different states; this young man has some growing up to do and if he makes it to college; it will happen there. They come to realize that they are now a small fish in a big pond. The change I have seen in my boys in the last 2 1/2 years is amazing! They have always been respectful but a bit arrogant because they were the heroes of their high school football team with all the little girls holding up signs and screaming their names. Nobody was hanging around holding up signs when they arrived at college! Lol This young man will mature and learn when he gets to college.
Ummm Congrats??? -_-
Just read a report that stated he was suspended for simply not turning his phone over to the coaches. Every player was asked to turn in their phones, so they wouldn’t be distracted before the game.
Sounds like a need for maturity, and at this point, I see no reason to read any more into it than that.
Looks like he will be Kirby Smart’s “challenge.” I’m sure they will help him mature at RBU…
What a joke. That’s the tip of the ice berg. Kirby can’t manage RB talent. This kid will wash out exactly like Pickens.
Nick Chubb, Sony Michel, De Andre Swift – All going to the NFL in the 1st – 2nd round.
Zamir White listed as a Heisman candidate for 2020.
And you say, “Kirby can’t manage RB talent.” That is the joke…
Kirby knows how to manage his RB’s. And he doesn’t run them into the ground like your coach does…
Says the fan of a college so confused it can’t figure out what it’s actual mascot is, oh BTW how are those last three games against a Kirby coached team going for ya? 0 wins and three losses, yeah I thought so
