6'4, 200 lbs, Kilgore(TX) Junior College

    Dallas Kimball graduate Richard Evans had a major impact on the 
Kilgore Junior College's team, turning them into a top 10 program 
almost single handedly.  Evans originally signed with Texas Tech out 
of high school, but ended up at Kilgore because of grades.  Last 
season, Evans averaged over 20 points a game.  SLAM magazine lists 
Evans as one of their ten "impact" JUCO transfers for 1999, and 
PrepStars ranks him as a top 20 JUCO.
    Evans' best asset is his athletic ability.  He is very much a 
slasher, but also posesses very good hands.  He does most of his 
scoring from 15 feet and in.  He will remind fans of Stevie Johnson.
His role on this year's team will be to push Stevie for the starting 
wing forward spot.  Due to ISU's lack of depth down low, Evans might
be called on to play some post.  That shouldn't bother him a bit.  As
a high school senior, Evans was a forward who's play resembled...dare
I say Kenny Pratt?
    Richard visited when ISU played Missouri on ESPN's "Big Monday".
Fellow ISU commit Thomas Watkins was also visiting at the same time.
The two became friends, and decided to attend ISU together.  Evan's 
other finalists were Texas, Texas Tech, New Mexico, and Texas A&M.  
Cyclone fans can look forward to some exciting, athletic plays by 
Richard Evans next year.
