Terps Land Juco Guard With Spotty Past

As anticipated, junior college guard Tyree Evans is set to sign with Maryland today. Evans is considered a top talent whose off-court issues have hounded him the past few years. Coming out of high school in Richmond and prep school in Massachusetts, he originally committed to Cincinnati before the scholarship offer was rescinded when he was charged with statutory rape, though he later plead guilty to lesser charges. He reportedly was kicked off the team at his first junior college and spent this past season at Motlow State Community College in Lynchburg, Tenn. He's considered a top scorer, but it will be interesting to see how he fits in on a guard-heavy team.
