Evans ends commitment to USC, likes Irish
ESPNU 150 WR Shaquelle Evans (http://insider.espn.go.com/ncf/recruiting/tracker/player?recruitId=55006) (Inglewood, Calif.) said he no longer wants to be listed as a soft commitment to USC. In fact, the talented wide out said the Trojans are not his top school any more. http://sports.espn.go.com/photo/2008/0818/recruit_evans_shaquelle_300.jpgShaq Evans has dropped his soft verbal to USC."Right now, I'm really feeling Notre Dame," Evans said. "I had a great trip back there and that's where I feel most comfortable. It's hard to explain but I just felt so at home at Notre Dame and I've never felt that way around any other school." Evans took an official visit to South Bend two weeks ago and said the high from the trip has yet to wear off. "I loved being around the players and the coaches," Evans said. "The game atmosphere was incredible, but like I said, the main thing for me was just that comfort level. I've always been told and always believed that you should go where you feel most comfortable and right now for me, that's Notre Dame." Following USC's demolition of Ohio State last month, Evans gave the USC coaches a commitment but said it was a soft commit, meaning he still wanted to keep his options open and check out other schools. "I still like USC a lot and I was at their game with Oregon last weekend," Evans said. "They have a great school but I'm leaning to Notre Dame right now. I may take a few more official visits and if I do, I'm looking at Michigan, Colorado and Oregon. "Nothing is set though and I would say it's 50-50 whether or not I take more trips." Evans has not set a timeline for his decision and still wants to talk his with family about his decision. "I always thought distance would be a factor for me, but the more I think about it, the more I realize that it doesn't matter. I'm going to pick the best school for me no matter where it is, and right now, I think that's Notre Dame."
