October 30, 200816 yr Young moolah baby...the offense talent on this team will be scary. no doubt. this would be so awsome if we landed him, this offense is just getting sick talent. all would need now is a running game and ND would be hard to stop.
October 30, 200816 yr A good positive sign, but just anothers opinion. We will all find out in alittle more than a week, one way or the other. My fingers are crossed.
October 30, 200816 yr The last sentence of the article gave me a viagra like side effect.... =========================)
October 30, 200816 yr LOL classic Coach. Great line and...even better attempt at a graphic! Little narrow isn't it? I'm just sayin'
October 31, 200816 yr I'm not 100% sold on ESPN recruiting skills, but fwiw, Evans is rated at 84 by ESPN. As a point of reference, Michael Floyd, my secret man-crush, was rated by them at 83 last year.
October 31, 200816 yr Hear is a mid season highlight reel........WOW... Little cocky for me but WOW.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WpsWN8e5QzM ALL IRISH

As a point of reference, Michael Floyd, my secret man-crush, was rated by them at 83 last year. if i remember correctly Golden Tate was rated like the #22 prospect in the country by ESPN. i don't know really what it is but ESPN's rankings are usually pretty different from everyone elses.
October 31, 200816 yr looks like a raw version of Rhema McKnight, maybe a step slower at this point though, which is ok. I dont even think he knows how to run yet. His strides when he's breakign away don't look that good but the kids just an athlete. Said on rivals he's looking to go to the place that he fits into the best and that's special. Usually when kids start throwing around the word "special" it bodes well for ND.
October 31, 200816 yr Next friday cannot get here soon enough. Fingers crossed, and by the announcement I will have everything else crossed.

I don't know if it is becasue it is ND's site or what, but he gushing about ND and had little to say about USC except that it was close by. I'd say he's ours.
October 31, 200816 yr Hear is a mid season highlight reel........WOW... Little cocky for me but WOW.. "Little cockey"....that a tad bit of an understatement don't you think? He looked like he was either a tad slow or DB were getting really good angles on him on the longer runs (I know nothing about the level of kids he was playing so that could have something to do with it). The experts said that Floyd was a step slow too didn't they?

Usually when kids start throwing around the word "special" it bodes well for ND. Seems like a project receiver with tons of upside and potential. Just needs to refine his technique. Which is good because of the log-jam at the receiver position.
October 31, 200816 yr Yea, Franco. they said/say the same about Dieon Walker, too. An advantage Shaq will have is that he is playing WR as a Sr, whereas Walker was playing QB and other positions his Sr year, so Evans should be alittle ahead of Walkers progression.

Took the words right out of my mouth, Grizz -- the things being said about Shaq were the same things being said about Walker last year. Both started off as five-stars as well, but slipped to four-stars at Rivals because they're "raw". Here's what I like -- at the USC camp, he more than held his own (although he dropped a lot of passes) and played well against the best competition in the country. On tape, he screams raw, untapped potential, and this is the staff that can develop that fully. And he just seems like an ND guy. I hope he's Irish next Friday, but he's a guy I'm going to root for over the next four years, regardless of where he goes.
October 31, 200816 yr the buzz on USC sites is pretty much acceptance shaq is going to be irish-- hope they are right-- how about evans- bonds -teo- and jenkins--ahhhhhhh one can dream!!
