My Opinion of Maurice Evans

by Rockin on Dec 11, 2008 9:53 PM EST

After his much publicized incident at the beginning of the season, I must say so far so good. He lost his starting job and still has not got it back.....although it is quite possible that he lost it for good to Mayhem. I have heard no blame game, no whining, no news at all as a matter of fact. This to me shows Evans maturity. He has matured and I feel will be one of the leaders of the team next year. Hopefully my judgement is not wrong. I can't believe that Bradley would not have Maybin and Evans on opposite sides of the line at the same time next year. They will be playing pinball all game long on the opposing offenses.

He will have it back next year

Because Maybin is going pro.

really, I had not heard that elsewhere. Fact or wild speculation?

We just needed a couple players, a couple people to buy in to the fact and we were able to do it. --A.Q. Shipley

I hope not, but he is a monster and deserves the big time whenever he chooses.

I would doubt it

based on sources close to maybin

From what I've heard/seen

it is very likely. We’ll see though.

Speaking of going pro...

….I was reading an article on Rivals.com that mentioned that Bowman may also go pro. Is that possible, I thought he was a true Soph, not a RS soph.

Any rumors on that?

Bowman

He’s had one good year, he could boost his draft stock like crazy with another good year. I’ve only heard him talked about in the draft by that one source so I seriously doubt it.

I bet they both come back.

I don’t have any info on this, but I really think they stand a lot more to gain than to lose by coming back next year, especially Bowman.

well they stand to lose a lot of money by coming back

since the NFL collective bargaining agreement will start counting signing bonuses against the salary cap starting after next year, so I’d imagine those bonuses will shrink down in size. incentive for a lot of guys to go pro (but that holds true for guys all over the country, so the competition might be higher this year than most)

Agree

I think they both come back. Especially Bowman, who I don’t think would go all that highly in the drft this eyar and has much more to gain by staying another season.

I’m a bit skeptical that Maybin would go so high as to warrant coming out as well, but I could see that as more possible. And the draftniks do seem to rate him highly.

All this talk of going Pro

I love when our kids go to the NFL, I love when they’re drafted high, so by all means I’m not complaining.

But I’m disturbed by the idea that whenever one of our guys has a stand-out season he immediately flys off to the pros. As soon as we fall in love with one of these kids he’s already off to the NFL. It’s a major problem in NCAA hoops I hope we don’t have in NCAAF.

Only time will tell, but I believe Bowman and Maybin will be back next season.

by millzners on Dec 12, 2008 11:20 AM EST reply actions

no disrepect to those kids

But I think they may need another year to get them higher on the draft board. I haven’t seen where they are projected but I think they could be 1st rounders with one more year but that is not exactly my area of expertise

I refuse to join any club that would have me as a member
