Jacob Evans was and continues to be a very good basketball player. For three years, he plied that trade with the Cincinnati Bearcats. He did so well in his time at UC, and with his development, that he is now destined for the NBA. No, he will not be going No. 1 overall like Kenyon Martin, but he is certainly going to be getting a real shot at making an NBA roster and continuing to be a very good basketball player for years to come.
Evans was one of the most impressive recruiting additions of the Mick Cronin era.
