I don't see it happening for these reasons: (1) You are underestimating this team. Their ceiling is much higher than 13 - 15. The Dukes are in the midst of a tough stretch (esp. dealing w/ teams from the Big 6 conferences). But they are still very talented & have a bunch of good scorers on the squad. (2) As a whole this is a down yr for the A-10. Besides Richmond, no team really has done much to impress in the non-conference portion of the season. (3) Why would Evans want to redshirt? Probably the best thing he has going for him compared to TJ, Talley, & Sean John is his experience. -- Duquesne Dukes Basketball Forum

In reply to: Phil95 's message, "Please red shirt EE. Bringing him back to finish a 13-15 win season is a waste of eligibility. At his best he is only worth 1 or 2 more wins. Let the young guys continue to develop & then have 3 years of dominant guard play while we hope to find some serviceavle bigs." on Monday, December 13, 10:28:44pm

...and the key to making the offseason is winning your conference tournament. That's where Evans' real value is. Besides, if anyone thinks that brining him back this year impedes the growth of either Talley or McConnell, how will it be if he's here for their junior year? By then I expect them to be an elite backcourt in the A-10. (NT) -- El Duque, Wednesday, December 15, 07:07:44am
