adequate and shoddy."
Evashevski said he wasn't truly

ton where I have to consider 1t. y
The paper said those close to
the situation blame indecision and
hamstringing on the part OF the
athletic administration for Eva

He previously admitted receiv-
ing offers from other schools. but
insisted he made no moves toward
getting them. Both Iowa and In
