It's been said here before, but based on some of the comments here, it should be stated again. If Evans is still in play, you keep the door open. All this drama will be long forgotten once he takes his first handoff for 20 yards. The team that lands him, provided they give him mentorship and guidance, will have a game-changing threat that can carry their team to a national championship. There's no other way around it: every team in the playoff has at least one player, usually a RB or QB, with the "it" factor that elevates the rest of the team.
Those brushing off Evans as a "drama queen" must've not yet come to grip with the level of talent required to win it all, much less the SEC West. They are too dependent on favorable schedules and catching other teams when they are down. We're paying Jimbo to do what Dabo did at Clemsonto build a program with the talent to reload each season, not rebuildand it starts with players like Evans. We just can't continue to whiff on these guys (see Waddle, Etienne, etc.), hence you pursue him until he puts on the pads for you.
It doesn't matter what posters think about Evans.
It matters what the Jimbo and the A&M football staff think.
And if in the Wed. in-home with Hubbard, the staff pushes for a commit and gets one, then that means the A&M staff has thrown in the towel on Evans and moved on. Based on whatever information they have, that means they will have essentially conceded he isn't coming to College Station.
And it would be hard to blame them if they did put some sort of 'deadline' on tomorrow. Evans and his circle have had several months now to ponder a decision. They know what all the coaching staffs are going to look like and no doubt have had numerous talks with all of them, they have visited the campus and facilities of all the schools, they know what all the different recruiting classes look like and what the next year roster is going to looks like, the college football season is completely over and all the results are in.
