I can't believe we're collectively still posting Evans updates on page 1185 of this thread...incredible, but here we are.
I don't think this is the same reason (eligibility) that we heard from @SoFL_Dawg the week Evans was supposed/didn't announce, but I admit that seems like months ago at the refresh rate of the recruiting world. That said - perhaps there is something to an academic issue (?). My understanding is that he was done with his HS requirements to enroll early, that it would be good for him to be in a structured environment vs staying in his current one with too much extra time on his hands before enrolling in June somewhere, etc.
If he has completed/graduated from HS, then why wouldn't he have already signed & enrolled somewhere else?
Maybe @texdawg can confirm whether he has graduated and/or if he know whether he was academically eligible to enroll early somewhere?
Unrelated topic on another recruit that didn't end up at UGA: heard an interview with Theo Johnson on the 247 Penn State podcast today. He didn't go into any detail about Georgia specifically but I thought it was interesting that the prime reasons he cited for choosing Penn State were:
Also - he updated on his injury...MRI in the coming week at PSU but he said specialists he's seen in Ontario are highly confident that there's no serious damage/may not require surgery despite how bad the injury appeared when it happened (he said they were unable to pop his shoulder back in place at the field, so people assumed there was structural damage keeping the medical staff in Orlando from treating it on the spot.
Still would have liked to see him in the red and black but sounds like a good kid and wish him the best -
Seems I remember a couple of articles after Blaske and maybe Willock signing. Maybe Carvell or Griffith not sure. Maybe just a rumor thread.
Also on SEC film room, Rich Rod and or Luke went in depth on their guards pulling aggressively and being used differently to set up run plays for JRP at second level. I will be on lookout for that segment.
I agree and not being contrary but you can have “smaller” guards and still like “bigger” tackles. But, like Tex said, if you can play you can play.
Thanks, and I figured most of that. It is especially good to hear that the first one to raise their hand between BG and CW is in. CW's talent is appetizing, but the pretty haired Trevor Lawrence proved you don't need CW's wheels to expand offensive capability from s signal callers perspective.
I'll take two 7' 400lb OTs that are faster than any other lineman. Please and thanks.
Good point.
I found one article by Chip quoting Blaske Saying Coach Luke likes his wrestling background and wanted more athletic guys up front. That’s not Coach Luke saying that though so not fair to read too much into a recruiting pitch.
Also the SEC film room segment with RR focused more on using the running back to pull on run plays with the guard rather than the guards doing anything special.
Counter the 7 footers with hobbits.
Zach Evans is on an OV to Florida today so is not enrolled anywhere at this point
That his his 4th OV (went to Ole Miss yesterday) with 1 left 👀
UPDATE The OV to Florida has just been deleted from his 247 Timeline. Seems like Kiffin made an impression?
Where did you see he was on an OV to Florida?
247 Timeline since deleted (last 5 minutes) along with the OV entry for Miss yesterday ?
Ok. Yeah i thought i had been shared some info about Ole Miss this weekend and Florida next weekend with the final weekend somewhat open (potentially TA&M)
Timeline shows already had OV to TAMU (11/15) and LSU (10/26)
Yep, the OV TA&M part was a misread on my part
So you’re saying there’s a chance we could be #5...
I just want in on the Evans fun again. That recruitment is wild
