Evans

Former UB guard Shannon Evans will follow Bobby Hurley to Arizona State, committing to be a Sun Devil on Friday afternoon. CBS first reported the news.

Evans is in Arizona this weekend visiting the school. (Hurley would never hear the end of it if he let Evans leave without committing.)

Evans seemed to be enjoying himself in Arizona.

UB initially told Evans it would block him from transferring to Arizona State, but changed course after a meeting between Evans and athletic director Danny White.

Evans will have to sit out next season but has two years of eligibility remaining.
