A recent tweet from Shaq Evans:

I attended the University of Notre Dame #bigmistake I miss my teammates though

I wonder why he's bashing ND. It certainly doesn't help to have former players tweeting stuff like that.

Might just be sour grapes. He could be starting for a BCS contender in 2011 if he hadn't transferred.

Doubt it. My guess would be Shaq sitting on the sidelines as a complainer. You don't see the field for what you could be. You see the field for what you have become!

Best of luck to him tho.

When was the last time you ever heard a transfer say:

"I attended [first college] #goodchoice but then chose to leave even though I liked it"

Kid signed up to play with a coach in a certain offense... coach got fired... new coach took over and he didn't like how hard Kelly pushed him. And if you listen to a lot of our guys, no one was happy with how hard Kelly was on them at first. But they all came around.. except for Shaq who ended up buried on the depth chart below a bunch of guys he thought he was "better than."

Whenever there is a coaching change, there are transfers. The fact that Shaq was the only guy who left (yes, I know there were other transfers, but I remember all the others being for different reasons beyond the school/football) is actually pretty remarkable. I don't like how much of a public douche he is being in his tweet, but I also don't think it's a huge deal. Just wish he was more mature... hell, if he was more mature he probably never would've gotten his panties in such a bunch about being buried on the depth chart.

former players make tweets along these lines all the time about their former respective schools... though people seem to care when it's about that "irrelevant team that hasn't won anything sice the 40's"...

odd

Kelly said you can limit transfers if you take over the program the right way. Shaq was the lone (legit) transfer as a result of the transition. It just wasn't for Shaq. ND's not for everyone.

Football wise, if he had been patient, Shaq could be a potential starter for this years run to the BCS. I don't think UCLA is getting there anytime soon judging by their last couple of seasons. Cierre wanted to transfer cuz of play time issue but he decided to be patient. Now he's the starting running back for the fighting irish!

it's funny because Robby Toma wrote this Tweet to LeBron

@RobJob293: @KingJames is jus like ND fball..half love to see us do well..half love to see us fail..but they all love seein us!!!”.

Then Shaq responded by saying "so gay"

I really don't care but it is kind of funny he still has Notre Dame on his mind. It's been a year I would have moved on by now.

Its no secret that Shaq was one of my favorite "recruits" ...and i was bummed when he decided to leave (some said quit). However, what always bothered me was that Golden did not take him under his wing, and I could see that negative body language from Golden especially towards Shaq.

Shaq is a perfect example of a kid that was not willing to put in the work along with a touch of home sickness. Oh what could of been...

If I were Robby I would respond...

"Good to see you have finally accepted what you are... we all knew dude, it was OBVIOUS!"

Who is Shaq Evans? :sigh:

Former 4-star WR for ND. Came in with the 2009 class. Transferred after Kelly's hire.

I linked his profile in my OP. Lots to read there.

I notice there is not a section, on this board for players that transferred from ND. There must not be that large of a pool or no one cares.
I am not surprised there have not been negative comments from other transfers.
No wonder he did not feel he fit in.

Correct me if I'm wrong... but wasn't the reason Shaq transferred because he was 3rd behind Riddick and Toma on the depth chart? Must hurt your ego thinking you're the big man on campus with all of the recruiting services pumping you up with lots of stars and telling you your **** doesn't stink... and then getting beat out by a hard-working "lower rated" kid that a lot of recruiting gurus thought wouldn't even have gotten and offer were it not for Te'o.

"I know you like to think your **** don't stank, but lean a little bit closer and see that roses really smell like boo boo."

I vote that Shaq is forever referred to as "Caroline".
