'09 CA WR Shaquelle Evans (ND Verbal 11/7/08)

[tko]

buddy of mine was chillin with him on friday and got an all SC vibe. dont get hopes too high

i appreciate that but the game was saturday and he may have felt differently after that.

 

[JeremyND07]

i hope so...with Grimes graduating, Shaq would fit in nicely, so will Walker.

I forgot all about Walker...anyone hear anything regarding his progress? I think we are talented enough that I hope he gets a redshirt.

 

[Irish52]

Shaq would be a super pickup for ND. Apparently, he had a great visit this past weekend. Hopefully, that will translate into a commitment. We would then have a super wide receiver corp. You can bet the CA schools will be all over him in the next several weeks.

 

[GO IRISH!!!]

Isn't it time for the weekly "I heard he verballed to SC today" post?

 

[phork]

Reports are that he gave his Verbal to Petey at the SC game.

 

[donjuan]

I heard Omar was going to transfer to ND.

 

[GO IRISH!!!]

phork and donjuan- those were funny!

SoCal, can we move this thread back into the actual 2009 Recruit section?

not quite sure what you mean. the only time a recruit in a certain year gets moved is if he commits. his profile is then stickied to the top of that year's forum. if a guy commits elsewhere, we leave the profile in that year's forum rather than move it to a "commited elsewhere" forum.

 

[phork]

Well the post was under the general recruiting section, not the 2009 recruits, where it appears now.

i think someone is messing with us.

you gotta read back a few pages to get the flavor.

Viva Wilmas! Hey Pinoy, I grew up in Carson until the 5th grade. My grandparents still live in Harbor City/Torrance.

 

[Pinoy QB]

Carson High baby 10-0 Freshmen year. MLB my QB was John Walsh from BYU and the running back was Shadee Muhameed Nebraska. Glory dayz, I still claim my hood but now its the Bend, Tailgating every home game and livin the life.

Evans ends commitment to USC, likes Irish

Posted by Greg Biggins
ESPNU 150 WR Shaquelle Evans (Inglewood, Calif.) said he no longer wants to be listed as a soft commitment to USC. In fact, the talented wide out said the Trojans are not his top school any more.

"Right now, I'm really feeling Notre Dame," Evans said. "I had a great trip back there and that's where I feel most comfortable. It's hard to explain but I just felt so at home at Notre Dame and I've never felt that way around any other school."
Evans took an official visit to South Bend two weeks ago and said the high from the trip has yet to wear off.

 

[NDinL.A.]

Thanks for the update!!

C'mon over kid!!! Pro style offense with excellent QB's and an excellent offensive mind, with Floyd and Tate showing you the ropes. Join the family kid!

 

[phork]

What would make this sweeter is that we would steal it out from Petey McSunshines nose.

 

[JeremyND07]

VERY good news! We are starting to build a dynasty here folks! No more rebuilding BS...reload reload reload!!!

 

[nd1988]

Awesome news!!!

 

[MirageSmack]

I'm still cautiously optimistic. He sees to like everywhere he goes, a lot. That's probably what I would do to every school too, other than ND, so I'm not bashing.

Hopefully he is in the fold. I know he has to like the fact JC likes the long ball.

agreed, he is what 18 years old??? At that age anything can happen from now til signing day, but it is nice to see we are in front for his services...

besides, education wise he won't get an offer from a better school than Notre Dame

 

[IrishAddiction]

i hope he sticks with his gut and chooses the school that fits him best. aka Notre Dame.

How sweet would it be to land the 2 best skill position guys in California? Wood and Evans.

That would be pretty sweet my friend. Go Irish!

 

[Junkhead]

Take the "right nows" out of his response, and its perfect!!! It will be hard to overcome his visit. He should just commit now!

 

[sportallyr]

I have a great feeling about this kid. I think he's going to end up Irish. He sees that we are set with a great offense for wide receivers to showcase their talent and that we are set at QB for the foreseeable future. He could change this above average recruiting class into another great one.

 

[goldandblue]

yeah, he would have a big impact on the recruiting rankings for the Irish. With a commit from him that would surely move us into the top 10 and to help hold us there.

lMore importantly, his commitment would likely sway other undecided recruits to swing our way, notwithstanding the tremendous impact he will have on our passing game. Let's hope he decides to place his trust in ND.
