Evans wasn't mentioned and he should also be in the top rotation.

I didn't take it that way regarding the "others". I thought that it was that Ivey, Johnson, and Flowers have made noticeable progress and are in the conversation for roles, and that there are true freshmen at most positions that will likely be pushing for green light status and will be ready to contribute by games 3,4,5.

I hope they play Denmark at home, but Copenhagen is also lovely in the early fall.

No mention of Evans is interesting. I hope he simply forgot because we need someone with his speed to stretch the field.
