Currently these are rumors but it won't be hard to confirm once the game kicks off at 3pm.

I have not seen a reason thrown out there for this yet but given the laundry list of issues with him it is not surprising.Last week he missed the first half of his team's game, word is he needed to take the ACT that morning. He was suspended from his team earlier this year and apparently was fighting with coaches at that time.

He has been yanking everyone's chain in recruiting all year, including teams like LSU, UGA and TAMU. Current rumors are that he signed with UGA during NSD1.

I'm very glad we moved on from him early. I think Bijan is now clearly the top back in the nation. These type of behavioral concerns are enough to get your ranking bumped down.
 
Georgia officials state, "We are not concerned about the recent news regarding Zack Evans. We do not emphasize post-season games and in fact often do not even care to participate. He will fit in just fine."

Sucks for him and his parents. I hope he somehow learns the way the world works sooner rather than later.
 
Young people with an that attitude like he apparently has, rarely ever change. He has no team concept. Luckily we did not pursue him any harder than we did.

Man, a 15yr old, yes, 15, starting in the state final. I’ve got a 15 year old daughter. Can’t imagine.

He was sent home because he wouldn't turn in his phone in the night before. Apparently it's school policy
 
Geez, Duncanville had to start a 15yr old freshmen against north shore, now Guyer had to replace their qb with a freshman on their first drive versus Westlake.
 
I wouldn’t want this kid anywhere around our team. Good for the North Shore coach for not putting up with his shit. If his work ethic is anything like his attitude he won’t make it at the division 1 level.

I was at the game and was really surprised Duncanville was able to keep it close with the freshman quarterback in there.
 
Georgia was in the running for some studs to close out their already impressive class. Rumor is Zack Evans signed his LOI with them during NSD1.

It was also widely thought that 5 stars Kelee Ringo and Darnell Washington would also announce for UGA after secretly signing on NSD1. Word is Ringo may be Oregon bound and Washington to Ariz St.

Now, anyone with a top 5 recruiting class can't be too disappointed but those 3 would have likely vaulted UGA to a top overall class. Now they are stuck with Evans (if he did indeed sign) who will probably drop in the rankings based on his antics.

Ken Hall had MUCH better credentials tha Zack but he had a bad attitude and even the mighty Bear Bryant could not make him useful.
 
He won’t make it at any college.
I hope he somehow gets a chance. It would be good for him to know the college players are so much faster and stronger and meaner than high school players that he is accustomed to. He will probably still succeed, but with less arrogance and perhaps a little attitude adjustment.

Yeah pretty shitty. No J.J., Evans or Shadrach Banks. Both teams not at full strength.
 
One thing that I thought was interesting was after the Westlake/Guyer game on the summary of the day when they got to the North Shore/Duncanville game there was no mention at all of the Zach Evans incident and frankly I'm glad.

They kept the focus on the game itself and not the distraction.

not sure it was an attitude problem oldhorn...at least not Ken's. in a 1982 interview, coach bryant took much of the blame....along the lines of "i was a young coach who didn't know how to treat players differently based on their personalities..." i also read in an SI "where are they now?" piece, that ken hall was a great, once-in-a-lifetime runner, but at the college level couldnt/didnt learn how to block or play defense so that's probably where the attitude issue comes in.
