ESD was what... 19 days ago? It has been AT LEAST 10 days since UGA knew Evans was not playing for them.

10 days is plenty of time to "unconditionally release" someone. There is absolutely nothing UGA gains by waiting at this point. There is no "best interest" to protect at this point.

At least? Up until Thursday (day of UA All-American game), it was assumed that Evans had signed with Georgia and would play there. Cancelling the announcement was the first public display of cold feet.

My guess is they're trying to get clarity on how this impacts their signing limits before releasing him.

ETA: Never mind the fact that Evans alone is responsible for his current predicament.

This

The kid is to blame for this situation whether it be discipline issues, test scores, or cold feet.

UGA is just doing whats best for the University as ALL other schools would as well.

Just an update from our guys from our sites.

No one knows if UGA submitted his paperwork or not, the wording they've gotten from their sources doesn't confirm that they did submit it or not.

Our guys also just said that if he has all of his credits ready and grades ready then they expect him to enroll at Texas A&M in the next week. The words they used where "I'd be SHOCKED if he wasn't in College Station taking classes in the next 7-10 days"

Well they should prepare to be shocked. Enrolling is one thing. But there is almost no chance this kid has only 1 collegiate destination due to grades, drugs, altercations, bad decisions, etc.

Match made in heaven for Jimbo.

That is what is speculated. There has been so much speculation and guessing with what is going on with Evans, I don't think anybody really knows where it all stands. Maybe not even Evans.

I just hope they get this untangled and he can get his life straightened out.

Who knows, kid could flunk out before fall camp even starts.

Time will tell if this kid gets out of his own way of being great.

I would say if he ends up in sec country. It will be Aggies, his attitude, his multiple problems screams Jimbo Fisher 100 percent. But he needs to go juco straighten out his grades and his character. He would barely see the field at LSU because of what is bringing him down currently which is his character and his grades.

The "IF" part of that should be bolded.

There were talks that he wasn't going to UGA he next day, 18 days ago. There was mention that Evans himself talked to another school later in the afternoon AFTER submitting LOI. Many knew he wasn't going before the public apology and thats why many were like, "Who gives a shite. why is he apologizing when he's not even going to UGA" I thought the apology was to look good for any FUTURE schools interested in him.

Releasing him 14 days ago, this past weekend, or tomorrow isn't going to change signing limits at this point. I will guarantee you.

Nobody is questioning this. People are questioning why something hasn't been done about it when EVERYONE knows whether Evans will be on the squad or not.

ETA: But if you want to get technical, both Evans and UGA is responsible. People have been posting how Evans is a shitshow for several months and UGA is the team that took a risk.

Rumors, but nothing that UGA thought they couldn’t overcome. It was reported as recently as late last week that UGA was still trying to keep him in the class. They were under no obligation to concede.

If you lose the spot regardless, you make him either show up to UGA and play or go through the portal.

If you don’t lose the spot, you release him, but I don’t think that’s totally clear. This is uncharted territory, and UGA is going to make sure they’re as covered as possible, no matter how long that takes or if Evans/A&M are inconvenienced. That’s not UGA’s priority.

Because UGA has its own priorities.

ETA: they also don’t want to set the precedent that the LOI isn’t actually meaningful.

I found this on 247 today which appears to be free content. It has a lot of the same comments from Shea Dixons pay content (that makes no sense).

I'm guessing Wiltfongs content is also a rehash of Shea Dixons...

its not the same. he wrote a thing specifically for our board and spent a couple paragraphs talking about how he expects evans to start school within the next weekish at A&M. said ohio state could make it interesting if they get involved

Why? Seems like UGA would be screwing Evans, and I thought you said above something about UGA not in the business of screwing 18 year olds.

Doesn't look like it compared to what the other guy said in the post before you. Seems like Fong made a prediction.

How anyone in their right mind can spin UGA to be the bad person after Evans signed his LOI to them is beyond me. Kid is lucky to be at a point where he can look elsewhere.
