'20 TX RB Zachary Evans

[LittleVol]

Texas already has a 5* RB in Bijan Robinson.

Fine, be we've signed 3 RBs this cycle.
Texas couldn't?

My question is where is FSU, or Or OU, Alabama, Clemson??
No one's after this kid...

This is the UGA side of the story Rusty. According to the Evans camp, he signed under the impression that he could early enroll at Georgia. He was then told he could not by Kirby.

This kid has been all over the place so who knows but that part is definitely out there too.

Then you can take out the middle sentence of UGA. Plenty of articles and stories I’m not going to rehash for both suspensions.

As for enrolling early, his ACT score would determine that. I believe he has graduated? So, his grades are what they are and it’s a sliding scale with the ACT, Yesterday was the final day he could EE at A&M (according to their mods), LSU drop/add was end of last week, so he could have enrolled elsewhere if he was cleared to enroll early.

Recruitments this unstable and weird rarely end up resulting in productive or successful college players.

Sometimes that you end up in people like Reggie Bush which become unproductive another ways

Texas was after him and was extremely disappointed they didn't even make his top 5 back in May. As well as many other top programs.

Longhorns miss the cut for top-ranked recruit Zachary Evans

Highly-coveted Houston North Shore running back Zachary Evans, the nation’s top-ranked overall recruit, released a list featuring his top five programs on Tuesday evening, and the Texas Longhorns fairly surprisingly find themselves on the outside looking in.


Alabama, Georgia, LSU, Ohio State, and Oklahoma are the final five teams fighting for Evans’ services, he announced on Twitter.

A long-time priority prospect for Texas head coach Tom Herman, associate head coach and running backs coach Stan Drayton, and to an extent, the entire Longhorns staff, Evans received an offer from the Horns in-person prior to his sophomore season, and has remained a high-priority prospect ever since. Evans reciprocated that interest, making numerous trips to the Forty Acres throughout the 2018 calendar year, and returning this offseason. Unsurprisingly, the Longhorns were considered a team in a prime position to land a prospect on pace to headline the entire 2020 class, per the 247Sports Composite, but, at least for the moment, that’s certainly not the case.


“It’s just … you don’t know how to put it,” Evans told 247Sports’ Chris Hummer of his decision to exclude the Longhorns from his top list. “I don’t want to be disrespectful. I ain’t saying (Texas) can’t win a natty. It’s just at the moment [Texas is] not quite there. You beat Georgia but you barely beat Georgia. What about when it comes to a Bama or go to a Clemson?


”Texas is a good school, they coming up,” Evans added. “It’s just ... I don’t know.”


Now on the outside looking in with Evans, who was among Texas’ most important targets in recent memory, where do the Longhorns go from here?

Thanks! Was unaware.

If we have no shot with this kid then why are we discussing him?

Until a&m changed conferences, Texas didn't have to recruit to get all of the top players in the state. All they had to do the screen the phone calls. That has changed now.

So wait is this guy all of a sudden showing serious interest in us??

Possibly, little bit of mutual interest, supposedly the coaches are going in-home today

First sentence. Regarding top RB recruits

 

[Dudley Smith]

saw a longhorn fan post on another board that his handler is a vols fan, so take that however you will

Buck?

Here is the post I believe Chattown is referencing:

Non-Texas recruiting: 2020

The poster is like a real abrasive and obnoxious version of ATL Vol. Supposedly has some inside links to the Texas program, so take the inherent bias as you will. That's the only place I've seen the Buck connection, but it's interesting that BGS thought of it.

Another weird interview by this kid imo.

"Texas barely beat UGA, so I can't really see them getting to the Natty."
Yet he signs with UGA???
WTF hahah?

Texas has QB issues like we do. That's what's mainly holding them back.

Anyway...I don't know about this kid.
I feel like we filled the need at RB and Dixon would be a super nice addition as a playermaker if he transfers here.

I'm good with whatever happens here. I don't really know the kid...

IMO he'd be worth the risk because if it pays off it could be HUGE, and if not and he's a cancer to the team, coaches should just kick his ass to the curb, but I feel like Pruitt has the right personality type to handle a kid like this

He’s visiting UT soon. Read the thread

My question is where is FSU, or Or OU, Alabama, Clemson??
No one's after this kid...

My impression is that Texas did want the kid early on, and there were a lot of pissed off Longhorn fans when Texas didn't make his top 5, but the longer things have gone on and the circus develops around him, they are fine with Bijan, and may add another lower ranked RB on NSD. The fact that those other programs you mention aren't pursuing him says something as well.

FSU isn’t better than GA -Evans
OU doesn’t run the ball do they? Lol
Bama and Clemson both have 5*’s this year
Not that any of those are legit answers but if I was a recruit id look at those factors, but hey maybe he is a head case and no one wants him

That's the thing....i can't make that assessment because maybe the kid isn't as bad as he seems? He hasn't pulled a Jeremy Banks yet, and mouthed off to the cops.

Maybe he's not hothead like Bryce Thompson either. Banks, Thompson, and Jennings were all Hotheads! And yeah, Pruitt is veru good with those types. Probably most types period. He was an elementary school teacher after all...

I do admire his forthright way of speaking. Keeps it real so to speak. Evans i mean.
At the same time WHAT he says throws me for a loop haha.

Sleegro posted an article showing Texas was after him aggressively .

Frankly..i just don't know.
About his recruitment.
About his personality.
I really don't have enough info i mean to say.

It is definitely worth a shot.
Reminds SKILLWISE of a young Lawrence Phillips.

Read the thread? No thank you. Every time I do, I have to go thru 50 posts of complete nonsense to finally find an answer but thanks for the answer even though it's wrong!

Lot of people lost interest for this to not be some type of attitude/character issue

I have no clue what Texas' RB situation currently looks like. If Evans wanted in they'd absolutely take him, but I assume they didn't go all in on him since they had Robinson.
