I read an article a few days back that said when his coach called him out about being selfish and not giving up the phone Evans began to argue and it led to an altercation and that is when he was suspended. I don’t have the article to link but that is what I read. If that happened it would explain some of this with all of the violence things we read with atheists.
Not that Evans is somehow blameless here, but right before their big game, this sounds like a coach with a pretty big ego issue and/or he simply did not get along with Evans in any way and this was just "the thing" that set him off...
There are 100+ ways to handle the situation that likely wouldn't have led to an escalation on Evans' part. It generally helps when the adults use their better judgement to help a situation from escalating in the first place, rather than going on a power trip about who is allowed to have a cellphone and calling people out for being selfish for not agreeing with you.
None of us will ever really know the full extent, but I know I can take the same general situation and handle things with my daughter or wife in a way that gets me results, or I can handle them like an a-hole and get a blowout argument... Just saying. My guess is the coach got what he wanted.

If he comes here - it was the high school coach's fault and he just needs a fresh start at a place with coaches who believe in him and will provide the proper framework and foundation that will ensure his current and future success. 
If he does not come here - he is indicative of the epidemic of entitled narcissistic high school athletes who serve as a horrible influence that can ruin an entire team by himself, and NCAA sanctions are almost sure to follow.
Either way, I'm prepared.

I can see it both ways but no matter how we might spin it, it appears Evans has defiance/disciple issues which does not bode well for his college career. We have had more than our share of problem players who bolstered our recruiting rankings yet never contributed at a high level on the field.

Discipline wouldn't be a problem in this environment but if he can't qualify academically then it doesn't matter for us, LSU, Tamu, etc.
If he gets in, at least he has a chance to succeed or fail.
If he never gets in, we'll never know, watch him go get the Heisman somewhere else (?)

Remember spring of 2017 when Wims showboated after a td in practice and Kirby bitched him out and made him stand in the corner, Wims turned out pretty good for us.
I think discipline at this level is easier when a guy isn't BMOC, and everyone as big and strong as he is, easier to humble him than on a high school campus. Can also eval him for psych issues that respond to simple meds.

Yeah... Don't mistake my post as somehow attempting to justify Evans behavior overall. Just in this isolated incident, the *adult* probably could have behaved a little bit more adult like, at least given the limited amount of information available to the public.
Where he ends up is independent of my assessment.

I know I replied to your post, but I wasn't really replying to what you said. I was trying to reply to a few of the posts above yours. I should have replied to one of them, but was on my phone and got lazy.
My bad.

I really think this is the worst possible spot for him.
They're thin and young at running back, so they're probably going to be looking for him to come in and contribute, immediately. Jimbo's kind of soft on discipline as it is, and don't have much leverage if he's actually counting on the guy.
Also, there will be very little veteran leadership in the room. Plus, Evans is WAY more talented than the returning guys anyway, so that's another reason he likely will have a hard time falling in line.
I thought LSU, UGA or Bama would have been good spots for him. I think the staffs at those schools, and the returning talent in the running back room, would have helped him mature and either get in line or ride the pine.

I know you can’t straight up say anything, but I wish you could explain this one.

Was hoping he meant something else

Well if Evans indeed punched his coach then that would cause UGA to do some due diligence prior to admission. It seems there are several cases each year of both college and pro athletes punching others, mostly females and that is what I meant. If they don’t and it happens while at UGA don’t you think that would cause some problems legally?

See I believe rules should be followed even for star athletes. If it was a team rule and the other teammates followed the rule then Evans is not an exception. Everyone seems to think this coach was the problem but I highly doubt this was a new rule out of the blue type thing. Just my take from what I’ve read.
