Tyree Evans to Maryland

I came up with two potential introductions for this post on Luke Winn's profile of Maryland recruit Tyree Evans on SI.com. Choose whichever one you prefer:

Option One: Gary Williams and the Maryland Terrapins are attempting to climb back to the upper echelon of college hoops. This season, they'll be led by a player who knows a thing or two about overcoming obstacles -- guard Tyree Evans.

Option Two: Tyree Evans has bounced from school to school since, and court appearance to court appearance, since his days as a highly-rated prep back in 2004. Now 23 years old, he'll join the Maryland Terrapins this fall -- proving once again that there's never a shortage of second chances for anyone with a talent worth exploiting.

Which do you prefer? Option one or option two? Inspired? Or appalled?

Truth be told, I fall somewhere in between -- which is why I'm taking the cowardly way out and letting you decide.
