Bo wouldn't take Evans if he didn't really like him.
No doubt a lot of knee-jerk fans will be unhappy when the next verbal becomes public, but there will always be more to the story that people will never know about.

I think it's a reasonable theory. Evans just isn't a "body". But he's also not receiving an immense amount of attention from other D1 programs. Even though he's a late bloomer, you'd expect a couple other high majors to notice his progress. I doubt he's better than an uber prospect like Jamil or several other guys in the '09 class who we'd have about a year to convince. Bo gets a guy who will probably contribute to the program, but doesn't have much of a chance to be 1st Team All Big Ten.
