That is certainly how a partisan homer fan might size things up. Reality is though that knucklehead kids finally realize that they have to stop screwing around and focus to achieve their dreams and that usually happens when they are falling back to second or third options.

No one dreams of being bounced from your top school of choice for disciplinary reasons and having to start looking for opportunities at places that you did not even consider the first time around.

Evans and his HS coach did not get along. This is well documented and there's more to the story than a cell phone incident. We tend to blame the kid in this situation almost 99% of the time even though the blame is usually on both parties. It's always the kid's immaturity, upbringing, etc, and never the coach's pride, ego, etc.

Was Zach immature as a 17/18 year old? Sure, most are. Was he a basket case? No. Could he "not make it work at TCU?" Yes, he could and he did. They did not want him to leave.

Not sure why Zach is always used as the poster child for these kinds of conversations. And as for Kirby Smart, there's a RB on his current roster that did far worse things in high school than Zach did. His generic coach-speak answer doesn't mean much to me.

Anyways, this has nothing to do with Chris Marshall.
