I honestly felt that once the guy started blowing up that we’d be run over by Blue Bloods, major kudos to the staff for getting on this kids short list. Testament to the work and culture that Dutch and his staff bring to the table. I hope he gets to a few Aztec home games this year. It is going to be loud and crazy after all the BS we have dealt with the last few years. He will see and feel the love!!! |

Rivals has Evans top 4 schools as: 1. SDSU 2. TCU - 2 visits to Texas 3. Minnesota - 9/29/22 official visit 4. Kansas No idea where you are seeing this, seems made up. Based on most publications minnesota/tcu lead |

Based on most publications minnesota/tcu lead He literally says the source is Rivals. Also you're reading his enumeration as a ranking as opposed to a list. Understandable, but not what he was trying to convey. n.rivals.com/content/prospects/2023/dennis-evans-282368 |

Minnesota is hosting Evans this weekend. Ex-Aztec recruit, SG Jaden Henley recently committed to U Minn, good friends from the IE.

Kansas stopped recruiting Evans, TCU & Minnesota may be the final 2; however, Dutch & staff have been in touch since he was in 9th grade. Not seeing alot of SDSU in the press. Rivals has us in his top 4.

We are clearly not in his top 4 and never has been. It’s just rivals recruit profiles have weird formatting, don’t pay attention to that

Considering we just signed a big, I think the staff was probably quite aware of this and weren't putting all their eggs in the Evans basket.

Imagine if the Aztecs could sign Mr. Evans. Next year the coaches would have to choose from front line players Evans, Ledee, D. Johnson, K. Johnson, Saunders and M. Heide. This would be the Aztecs deepest front line ever!
Heide strikes me as a future star power forward, if he chooses.

Heide is supposed to be 6'10" & 240 lbs when he arrives as a Frosh, so he's likely to be a future 5, not a 4... |

His mistake, the Aztecs are going to be good the next couple years and he could have learned a thing or two about playing team defense from a proven program. |

This dude was never a good fit for us. He's a big lumbering center type and we've always had and recruited more agile forwards that can guard all over the floor. He's perfect for the Big 10 where every team has a big strong center, like the 80s NBA.

I think we backed off Evans the day we saw Heid and Dutcher decided to make him our primary targeted. Evans had backed off us some as well. I get the perception the staff didn't think he was ever going to come here.
I'll be interested in following his progress. He didn't impress me, but he's supposedly made huge strides over the past 10 months & is taking the game a little more seriously. I have a feeling he'll struggle for a couple years, but then be a good player (if he doesn't get hurt). You can't teach length, especially defensively, and at 7'2+ (per our coaches he's legit over 7'1) that's a lot of length.

Physically, he reminds me of Greg Oden...looks double his actual age.
