'20 TX RB Zachary Evans

[WilcoVolsFan]

I am begging the football gods to make this happen. We need a dynamic, game-changing skill player to take us to the next level.

If Hooker and Tillman return, add Zach Evan and a transfer portal WR ready to contribute day one, we will have a lethal offense that might be second to only Alabama in the SEC.

Gotta have some Big Ugly's up front blocking and making holes too.

 

[BigSteve09]

How about a massive right tackle from the portal that’s ready to play day 1 also lol

I'll take anyone that thinks they can come in and contribute. We have kind of shrugged off how thin this depth chart was and how much juice we were able to squeeze out of the guys we have on the roster. Nothing short of miraculous, really.

 

[WilcoVolsFan]

I've said this before, but I think that adding Zach Evans to this offense could and should improve our PPG by at least 10, probably more like 13.

So from 39.0 PPG (8th in NCAA this year) to somewhere in the range of 49-52 PPG average? By comparison, OSU led the NCAA with 45.5 PPG. So you think one player would make us average about 7 points better than that?

I’ll start with a 2-3 pt bump on offense and just a couple more stops per half from my defense. But that’s just me haha

**Please stop bringing math to this conversation wherein I would like to speak crazy to add ridiculous value to a player of need.

That's a fair request.

NOW,NOW, you finally realize it is the MONEY.

Are you an ATM that became sentient?

And quality backups on defense!!!

 

[Walkman]

We need a two deep SEC defense with the amount of snaps they play. We gotta keep guys fresh with no drop offs in talent. I’d say that’s the goal.

I think he may be Big Dan Teague

 

[Walkman]

Two deep oline as well. We have the skill players…we just need another guy like Z Evans and another couple of playmakers at WR. I think we have the WRs on our campus now—they just need another offseason PPG development.

 

[MemphisVol3]

Interesting. If he comes up it's probably to learn more about the NIL deal we're excited about.

At least we'll know more in the next few days. If he doesn't make the trip we can all move on.

Essentially everything that @de1conley has said about this recruitment.

 

[Walkman]

Surely Mack and Golesh will be able to bring ZE in this weekend. Then it’s all about signing him up to a NIL deal. LETS GO!

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

So Venables calling the defense and Lebby on offense? OU just upgraded big time imo. Evans needs to come to Rocky Top and become our next big time RB.

He has made assumptions. That’s it. It’s easy to say oh well the only reason a recruit is coming up is to see about an NIL deal.

 

[OldVolMan]

de, maybe send this to Evans family to let them know that this is the type coach/man he will be mentored by.

Let’s not use somebody’s death as a recruiting tool.

 

[Jackcrevol]

Need some good news today morans.

He’s also been in the room. No doubt he knows a little here and it’s been more than confirmed.

he doesn't want to be mentored.. he wants to get paid and get to the NFL as quick as possible

 

[onevol74]

Does he go to class, or is that an extra charge.

 

[Vol8188]

Or left and slide Wright to the other side

 

[swchandler1988]

Or left and slide Wright to the other side

Because he’s pretty darn good at LT. If it ain’t broke..

I see your point, but to me it is not about the death being used as a “recruiting tool.”
It is about the commitment and the love that this coach has for his players, and the peace that should give a family.
If my son was going 1000 miles away I would appreciate seeing that display of honor and respect.

 

[OldVolMan]

he doesn't want to be mentored.. he wants to get paid and get to the NFL as quick as possible

But I bet his family wants him to be mentored.
