Football: Inglewood's Evans still creating quite the buzz

There haven't been many updates on Shaquelle Evans recently, so I figured it was time to check in with the junior from Inglewood and see how the whole recruiting process has been going over the last month or so. Sure enough, there's plenty of new information.

Last time we heard from the 6-foot-2, 200-plus-pound receiver, he had 12 scholarship offers from Division I programs pending. That number has increased to 17, and according to these quotes, it appears as if Evans will visit one of his suitors, Notre Dame, in September.

Plans are in the works for trips to LSU, Michigan, Ohio State and Tennessee in the near future. UCLA and USC are among the other programs interested in Evans, who has said in the past that he'd like to make a verbal commitment before his senior season. Stay tuned for more updates.

M Brown or Evans...? MB is putting up better numbers with lesser comp. SE has lesser numbers (jr year I know), its Cally, but is the comp heavier there?

Both would be nice, but MB has to be higher on our list. we HAVE to pull in the in state prospects. But either one would be great to be honest.

I really doubt we get Shaquille, unless he is well connected with Nunes..
WE would have to beat out alot of top notch programs for him..

Shaq Evans pulls back soft verbal, has new leader
No. 3-rated wide receiver Shaquelle Evans does not consider himself a soft commit to USC any longer and now favors Notre Dame, ESPN's Greg Biggins reports.

Evans said, "Right now, I'm really feeling Notre Dame. I had a great trip back there and that's where I feel most comfortable. It's hard to explain but I just felt so at home at Notre Dame and I've never felt that way around any other school."

Additionally, he mentioned the other schools still in the mix, "I still like USC a lot and I was at their game with Oregon last weekend. They have a great school but I'm leaning to Notre Dame right now. I may take a few more official visits and if I do, I'm looking at Michigan, Colorado and Oregon. Nothing is set though and I would say it's 50-50 whether or not I take more trips."

Evans finished by stating he does not have a definitive timeline for his decision and that distance from home will not be the factor he initially thought it would be.

Notre Dame was the place for him.
At a press conference on Friday morning at Inglewood High, Shaquelle Evans announced that he verbally committed to Notre Dame, choosing the Irish over USC, UCLA, California, Colorado and several other programs.
The 6-foot-2, 205-pound Evans visited Notre Dame for the first time the weekend of Sept. 27th, and watched the Irish beat Purdue, 38-21.
“I’m about a month removed from the trip and I still feel that way,” Evans told Irish Eyes on Thursday night. “I felt good about it when I first left there, and I still feel good about it now. It’s a good place I can accomplish my goals, and I feel it’s the best place for me.”
Evans becomes the 17th member of Notre Dame’s recruiting class, and the second receiver, joining Nyshier Oliver. He told Notre Dame head coach Charlie Weis he was in the fold on Thursday.
“He just said he was excited and that he was happy for me,” Evans said. “He said he can see great things at the school for me both academically and athletically. He said everyone was excited too.”
Just before he visited Notre Dame, Evans became a soft verbal commit to USC. It was a decision his mother wasn’t too happy about at the time. She thought her son rushed his decision and didn’t investigate all his options.
Kalisha Wright has a different perspective this time around.
“My mom, she’s happy for me,” Evans stated. “She thinks I made a good decision. I’m glad that she is happy, I’m happy, everyone is happy.”
Now she just has to see South Bend for the first time.
“Most likely, she is going to come out there the first game of the season next year. She says she is going to come out there then.”
Evans also got his official invitation to play in the U.S. Army All-American game on Friday morning. He will be joined at the Jan. 3rd game in San Antonio, by fellow Irish verbal commits, Zeke Motta, Tyler Stockton, Cierre Wood and Chris Watt.
Though he said it wasn’t much of a burden, Evans is happy to be done with the recruiting process.
“It’s great timing,” Evans said. “I just happened to fall into a place like this. It’s lucky and cool, and something I’m happy about. The timing is perfect.
“What made Notre Dame special to me was the fans. The fans were passionate and the students are supportive, they stand up the whole game carrying their team. Everybody was into the game. It was crazy to see that. A great college town. That helps out a lot when you have fans like that behind you.”
