He basically confirmed what I figured to be true. Ryan Evans wouldn't have been noticed without his family's ties to Wisconsin/Big Ten athletics. And saying they offered him largely on his highlight video as evidence is plausible because he required his senior season to progress far enough to where he could have compiled a highlight video. He had no highlights his junior year and previous. I'm sure they traveled to see him live 1-2 times, but the evaluation was nowhere near as extensive as most prospects who are offered I'm sure.
That doesn't mean that Ryan didn't make enough of an improvement his senior year. The coach was never privileged to see him play.
