ORUTerry Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Is Tre Evans a possible fix? How about trying JonTray Harris at point guard? He seems to be a good ball handler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're still playing the same cast characters that were getting minutes ahead of CC last year... maybe he knew what he was doing? Hope we're not asking the same questions about McDaniel next year.

This year's team certainly isn't a motivator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OT may be thinking of Norman North's McDonald's All American Trae Young --- who is being recruited by every blue blood in the country and is yet to choose a school.

Honestly, not the first time I've confused those two. Tre Evans has already stiffed two different D-1 programs: OSU in the summer of 2015 on a verbal commitment when it became obvious Travis Ford was a dead man walking, and Old Dominion in March on a letter-of-intent from November, 2015. ODU gave him a release, but with the stipulation that he could not play immediately for The University Of Tulsa, of all programs (Tampering? Daquan Jeffries?). And all that on the heels of playing at THREE different high schools: Edmond Santa Fe as a sophomore, Putnam West as a junior, and Edmond North his senior season. He carries considerable baggage in the form of his father Terry Evans, former head coach at OCU and a couple of high schools in the Oklahoma City area. All the moving around, particularly when it comes to Tre's college destination, makes you wonder if the elder Evans is using Tre to job hunt. And unlike HWSNBN's dad (who spent a year literally twiddling his thumbs in his wedding suit on the ORU bench), Terry Evans might not be satisfied with a simple assistant coach's gig at ORU. He might want the whole enchilada... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
