When it comes to receiver prospects, most Division I scouts agree that Shaquelle Evans and Jemari Roberts are extremely talented, each worthy of being ranked among the top 20 wideouts in the country. Surprisingly enough, both are still uncommitted, a minor detail seemingly on the verge of changing sooner, rather than later.

USC is one of the schools Evans is interested in. Apparently, the 6-foot-2, 200-plus pound senior from Inglewood isn’t bothered by the fact Randall Carroll, De’Von Flournoy, as well as Alshon Jeffrey have already committed to the Trojans, making for a crowded situation. Others high on his list are Michigan, Notre Dame and Ohio St., according to these quotes.

There are reports that indicate Roberts recently narrowed down his list of possible future destinations. Cal, Oregon and Stanford are currently in the running for the 6-foot-3 senior from Long Beach Wilson. And similar to Evans, the Trojans and Fighting Irish are in the mix, though it appears as if Roberts will visit a couple colleges before making a choice.
