It’s all rumors and speculation at this point. Anyone that actually knows anything isn’t saying shite.

It’s the only thing I’ve heard so far that makes sense and ties all the wierd pieces of his recruitment together.

This kid thought he was more important than he actually was, he thought he could play with all these schools, and he ended up having to beg for forgiveness at the UA game. If that’s not a red flag, I don’t know what is.

I would like to take this opportunity to point out two things:

1. if he signed on the last day of the ESP (12/20) the 14 day period for UGA to submit to the SEC was yesterday, 1/3

2. Grades for the ACT he took (missing a playoff game in the process) were available Dec 26th.

Here's what happened: He screwed up and waited till the Dec testing period to take the ACT for the first time, meanwhile he did sign LOI with UGA. UGA wisely knowing the had no ACT score whatsoever to even look at held on to LOI and told him they weren't submitting until the ACT scores were back (on the 26th). They came back too low. UGA chose not to submit because until he can retest and get scores up he's a non-qualifier. Problem is now, the next testing period is in Feb with grades not available till after the opening of the 2nd signing period.

Since his LOI is now void, UGA didn't use a spot. Hence, they may fill class up, along with everybody else, on signing day and since he's waiting to even find out if he qualified while everybody else is burning up the fax lines he just may be left out and will have to find a school who either couldn't fill their class (e.g. Arkansas) or might be willing to have someone else hold off until later in signing period to see what his scores look like when they come back (TAMU).

ETA: he should have saved the apologies and just issued a PSA. That PSA would go something like this:

Fellow recruits, instead of listening to your dumbfrick brother, or uncle, or girlfriend's cousin... listen to your counselors office, your coaches, the university's coaches, and the university's compliance department. You might love your brother to death, but all those other people have been through this hundreds of times. Because at the end of the day, or on signing day, if you chose to not listen to the people who know what in the hell is going on you also made a choice to take on the responsibility of it going to hell in a handbasket and your dumbfrick brother-handler certainly isn't going to take the blame now that it's too late.

It is true, Evans has signed with UGA and UGA has not turned in the letter to the NCAA. Evans off field issues have over shadowed his in class issues but if he was forced to enroll into college today he would not be eligible. That doesn’t mean he won’t be eligible in the fall, but as of right now he doesn’t qualify.

To me this kid let his self worth over shadow his life and now he is trying to get himself out of a huge hole that he dug for himself.

Getting excited over another's persons failures shows a lack of character and immaturity. Why cant you dip shits just be happy with the class we got and move on with your lives?

Because people who lie to coaching staffs and take up other kid’s scholarships should be berated and insulted. It’s called Karma. The world is tough.

Constantly being a whiney bitch on a message board reflects much bigger problems than immaturity. You should just stop posting on this site

I hope Evans is pissed off at UGA now and rats out the UGA recruiting coordinator, who is obviously this guy:

I don’t think you’re allowed to go on official visits without taking the ACT. So don’t believe the whole ACT story.

Admitted that he screwed up. Basically said I’m sorry.
