Wisconsin-Green Bay Lands 2009 Guard Prospect From Illinois

Illinois Prep Bulls-eye has learned through reliable sources that Seth Evans, a 6'1 junior point guard from Seneca High School in Seneca, IL has verbally committed to the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay. Evans chose the Phoenix over offers from North Dakota State and South Dakota State.
While Evans is primarily a point guard, he will actually be used at both guard positions once he gets to Green Bay. He flew under the radar this past spring and summer while competing on the Illinois Stars, an AAU program which is loaded with several talented guard prospects.
Evans is a gym rat who above everything else brings toughness. He is ultra-competitive and is a solid floor leader. In addition, Evans is a good shooter from 3-point range and is especially adept at the defensive end due to his strength and an outstanding work ethic. To top everything off, Evans knows how to win, having started as a freshman for a high school team that won the Illinois Class A state championship.
Kudos once again go out to Phoenix head coach Tod Kowalczyk and assistants Brian Wardle and Jon Harris, who continue to do an outstanding job of recruiting the state of Illinois. Once the 2009-10 season arrives, Evans will join 6'9 Pat Nelson from Niles North High School in Skokie, IL (currently a sophomore at UWGB) and 6'8 J. J. Henley from Lincoln Park High School in Chicago (currently a redshirt freshman at UWGB) on the Wisconsin-Green Bay roster.
Kowalczyk and the Phoenix will now look to add a wing prospect to their 2009 recruiting class and at the present time they are involved with several from the Chicago area, including 6'3 Xavier Humphrey from Fenwick High School in Oak Park, 6'3 Brian Conway from Bloom Township High School in Chicago Heights and 6'5 Cortney Bell from Lincoln Park just to name a few.
