This one was pretty funny. I love the maturity and decision making process. Nothing really about the schools, coaches, playing time etc.
Really it came down to Texas is too far of a plane ride. It's not like he and his family can walk to Memphis from home. Just cracks me up.
Just admit it for what it is....he knew Rose was leaving...was guaranteed the "Rose treatment" at school and he gets to chill in the mansion.

Wonder if 192 Evans committed to GU, if all of the lead in stories would be about his 192(allegedly)  |

Definitely waited to see about Derrick Rose. Even said in the press conference that he waited to see "who left" or something of the sort. I still don't understand why this is such big news. Wasn't even considered #1 in the country. I guess he was the #1 flashiest, though. Fact is he only waited until after everybody else declared so the spotlight would be on him.

SC just said something about it being conditional on a contract extension for Calipari...wonder if Evans thought of that himself |

That's hilarious. If true, what a wonderful precedent. I mean, all recruits should be able to dictate athletic department policy, shouldn't they?
Memphis should just tell the kid "thanks but no thanks; why don't you head on over to Texas or 'Nova." Of course, that will never happen.

Maybe it wasn't the student body who was failing JTIII but rather Chris and Austin for not demanding an extention before they enrolled! |

I thought Evans was a signed, sealed and delivered Worldwide Wes player. Was I wrong? Was the thought process more than, "Wes told me to go to Memphis."

I think you're right. Just posted this on the Calipari thread, but it's more topical here. Check out the last few paragraphs of this awesome Wes article that predicts Evans to Memphis over a year ago: men.style.com/gq/features/landing?id=content_5735 |
