SouthLincoln Husker Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Maybe the fact that he moved and only played 9 games his Sr. year. I also think I read somewhere that he was 150 lbs as Jr. Quote Link to comment

Mavric Posted April 15, 2015 Author Share Posted April 15, 2015 Evelyn started on three consecutive Class D (smallest class) state champions at Southfield Christian in metro Detroit. As a junior, he sat out from the holiday break until late February — reportedly pondering an in-season transfer — then rejoined the team before the state tournament. He scored 28 points in the state title game. Had Evelyn stayed at Southfield Christian, he would have had a chance to become only the second player in Michigan prep history to be part of four straight state title teams. (The other was Willie Betts, who later played in the 1960s at Bradley.) Instead, Evelyn transferred to Gilbert (Arizona) Christian, where the coach is former Detroit Country Day legend Kurt Keener, a winner of nine Michigan state titles. Former Country Day players include Chris Webber and Shane Battier. Evelyn, however, didn’t gain eligibility at Gilbert Christian due to legal guardianship questions. He eventually enrolled at Hillcrest Academy in Phoenix, playing nine games and averaging 25.4 points. OWH Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted June 19, 2015 Author Share Posted June 19, 2015 Also had surgery to remove bone spurs on his ankle. Expected to be 100% by the time the Huskers leave for Spain in August. Quote Link to comment
