Evans Not a Terp Yet
Maybe I'm reading too much into things. But reading between the lines of this story about Tyree Evans and Maryland and there are some pretty heady implications.
With Evans still awaiting admission to the university, Maryland AD Debbie Yow tells The Sun she was unaware that Maryland was recruiting Evans until after he had been offered a scholarship and accepted. Then she says that it is Coach Gary Williams strong desire to bring Evans to Maryland and his desire to mentor Evans is "critically important" in this situation.
You have to think that Williams know a) what is he getting into, b) that Evans will get into school, otherwise why go down this path and c) that things with Evans cannot take a turn for the worst for a program that has missed the NCAA tournament in three of the past four years.
"I've gotten to know Tyree very well and just feel he's put himself in a position where he gets a chance to see if he can get that done. I based that on 30 years as a head coach and being careful about who I take," Williams told The Sun.
