This baller’s name is Tyreke Evans. He’s another stud-in-waiting – Louisville, Texas, Connecticut, Memphis, all want him – with a slick handle and a nice jumper. (UPDATE: It looks like Villanova is the current leader.) Looks very playground to us. Also, his uncle (and legal guardian) is NBA rebounding machine Reggie Evans, best known for grabbing the Caveman’s balls! (There’s a question if Reggie the NBA player is Tyreke’s uncle or brother or if he’s not related to him at all. Tyreke, you out there buddy? UPDATE! Recruiting guru Dave Telep writes in the final word on the Reggie-Tyreke connection: Tyreke does have a brother and legal guardian named Reggie Evans … but he’s about 5-foot-11 and never took an NBA rebound or grabbed Caveman’s balls. Whew!

Quick timeline of Tyreke’s senior season: on Nov. 25, Evans was driving his gold Ford Expedition (!), and his cousin was riding shotgun. Then his cousin opened fire (drive-by style) and someone was killed. (Evans claims his cousin got in the car, someone came out of the house with a gun, fired two shots, and his cousin fired back.) His cousin has been charged with murder. Now, Evans is playing high school games with a five-person security detail just in case someone retaliates. It seems as if some recruiters have backed off Evans. Except John Calipari (and Jay Wright!) Love the game, hate The Game.

Tyreke Evans Is Now Slightly Less Attractive To Recruiters… Well, Except Calipari (Super, Scintillating, and Sarcastic)
