He sounds like a decent player, plus UW would have the flexibility to still sign someone else for '09 if they wanted with no promises made to Evans.
As for outside shooting, next season's team will have J-Bo, Leuer, Hughes and Landry as "known threats" from deep. D.Taylor is probably the best-regarded shooter of those who haven't hit campus yet, but Jarmusz, J.Taylor and R.Wilson can all develop into great shooters if they put the work in.

I like the idea too of compelling him to come here as a walk-on with a promise of at least a scholarship in his first year, and his future status depends on his performance on the court and ours in recruiting. I don't know if that would be more appealing than a mid major offer or not. His parents seem financially comfortable, and I think his father is alum (?), so that would hypothetically aid in the possibility of landing him on a non full scholarship. It appears he's arriving on full scholarship though.
Visa vie Krabbenhoft, I don't know if I'd consider 20 points per in South Dakota, a great scorer. If I recall correctly he was a good ball handler and was the point forward for his team. His foot problems have also possibly made his stroke very awkward, because he can't leap with any fluidity. I can see more reasons why shooting/scoring ability would diminish in college as opposed emerge.
I'm not really worried about the outside shooting of next year's squad. More so, I'm concerned about when the '08 and '09'ers are seniors.
