He's just not telling anybody.
{REST} ``I know what I'm going to do, but I'm not saying yet,'' Evans said.
Evans, the 1992 Virginia Group AAA player of the year, was back on a local court for the first time in two years Saturday, at the Hampton Roads Pro-Am Basketball League at Lake Taylor High.
Evans, who has been living in New York City and attending a college he won't name, said he's been home about three weeks. He'll be in Norfolk until late August, when he heads back to school, he said.
Evans, 21, said he needs to complete 35 credit hours to obtain his two-year degree, which will allow him to transfer to a Division I school.
He left the University of New Orleans in December. He had transferred after playing a year at Okaloosa-Walton Junior College in Niceville, Fla.
Evans, who has two years of Division I eligibility remaining, has said that Kentucky, Arkansas, Marquette, Clemson and Illinois have shown an interest in him.
Evans, who hasn't played in more than a year, scored 18 points and handed out six assists Saturday night, and showed flashes of the playmaking brilliance that had him mentioned in the same breath with players like Jason Kidd.
``It's good to be back home,'' Evans said.
BACOTE TO ALABAMA? Damon Bacote, a 6-4 guard who left the University of Richmond after the school year, said he's leaning toward transferring to the University of Alabama.
``I haven't told any of the coaches yet, it's just that's the way I'm leaning,'' he said.
