With the college basketball season set to tip off early next month, members of Full Court Press selected their top 25-plus players outside of the six major conferences (ACC, Big East, SEC, Big Ten, Big 12 and PAC 10). ETSU standout guard/forward Siarre Evans was one of the players to receive the honorable mention accolade. Evans has made huge strides since becoming a Lady Buccaneer in 2006-07, as she currently ranks sixth all-time in scoring (1,323) and seventh in rebounding (779). In addition, Evans has received every major Atlantic Sun award but one – Atlantic Sun Defensive Player of the Year. The Griffin, Ga., native was selected Freshman of the Year in 2007, Player of the Year and Tournament MVP in 2009, and is a three-time First Team All-Conference selection. Along with the conference honors, Evans was named a finalist for NCAA Division I State Farm Coaches’ All-America Basketball Team as a junior. Should the versatile star pull down 221 rebounds this season, she will become only the third Lady Buccaneer player to reach 1,000 points and 1,000 rebounds.
