Some folks on here simply did not understand what the kid was saying. I know I got a headache trying to translate it. That would be different from poking fun at the mess.
@carnivore Understandable, I’m sure many of the people posting simply couldn’t understand, but there were certainly those “poking fun” as well. My point is that even if you don’t get it, there is no reason to go on about it, you should understand the gist of what he was saying. Talking about it in the way that many were would probably be received as negative by Evans, who doesn’t need any more people talking negatively about him. All I’m trying to say is we should be lifting these guys up, we’re Dawgnation and he’s a Dawg.
Supposedly Jon Kay has said less than stellar things about Evans since the game. I think both sides are being ridiculous at this point.
I also may be mistaken but I could've sworn Evans lives with his Grandma so his mom coming probably is big to him. Is what it is though.
I think it’s a rude phone thing. Everything on the **** phones is always so much more important than wherever we are.
My mom is just as bad as Zach Evans with a phone.
To hell with your job , your team, your coaches , your family (in the room) whatever. We all bow to the almighty phone.
If he was actually with his family and they told him to put his phone up - he wouldn’t he’s be too busy communicating with his team / coaches.
It wasn’t a family emergency he had - so I’m not buying it. I can’t wait to see him play , but I’m not giving him a pass or calling it kids being kids. If the rule was hand over the phone he should have handed it over. After handing it over , he could later ask if he could check in with family or - call from another phone ?
For those wondering this message was typed on my phone while I should be doing something else.
@SoFL_Dawg is a pretty good judge of talent......but he doesn't know any more than the coaches know which kids will make it and which kids won't.
If you go through the list of signees over the years you'll see names that didn't live up to the hype.
QB is the big one......lots of highly rated kids that didn't meet expectations.
I know what you really want are names......I'll have to go back and look.
Just a quick realization... Staff has yet to miss on a QB talent wise that has signed.
Eason -> Fromm -> Fields
It makes me exicited to think what DJU, Stroud, Beck, and Mathis all have to offer
Trenton Thompson had health issues, Ray Drew was good not great...they were both considered can’t miss prospects on the defensive line. Both did their best and are DGDs though.
I'd add that Beck has been on campus at camp the last couple of summers so the team knows better than anyone what he can/projects to do in their offense
If the look at the qbs the staff went after last class it really points to their ability to identify qb talent. Off the top of my head I remember us pursuing Jayden Daniels, Dillon Gabriel, and of course JRP all of whom had great freshman years
That's it. The coach spoke to his mom, and coach was still an ass about it. Says everything.
As to kicking the coach on the way out... after the way Evans has been treated, I can see why he is hot. And the coach spoke to his mom!
Hope Zach clears the registers and starts anew. Everything points to a dynamic teammate.
And, it is spelling/slang and not grammar that it the main issue, right? Understand the slang and the grammar, such as it isn't, isn't a problem. To me, at least. Go Dawgs!
It’s been said but I’m not worried about the grammar/slang. This young man is enrolling early in college and that speaks volumes. I wish nothing but the best for him and I hope him and Milton will be the next Chubb/Michel
Am I the only one who thinks the “Evans experiment” isn’t going to end well?
I hope I’m wrong...
Probably not the only one but I'd say part of a small minority. Just curious. Why is it an experiment?
He’s asking how reliable is the info from @SoFL_Dawg When he asks, “How often have the members of the forum missed” he means how many times has the forum been super confident someone was signed sealed and delivered but then went somewhere elae.
@CoastalDawg14 He’s right more than he’s wrong. By a wide margin.
Mostly because his entire recruitment has been fairly dramatic...kind of strange really. Just when we thought all the antics were over, phone gate popped up.
Personally, I was hoping to see more growth in Pickens this season but unfortunately he proved critics right in the last game of the regular season immediately after coming back from a suspension got himself suspended again. (I’m not big on a lot of the excuses offered for his behavior...Not a big fan of the excuses for Evans either in his multiple scenarios)
I’m not sure it inspires much confidence that the staff can make Evans toe the line. Thus, the Evans Experiment is about to begin...will have to wait and see.
