Banks looks a lot like a (not as good) Trevone Boykin

What if he is as good as Boykin?  Have you considered that Wyatt?

I once blew clove smoke in a guy's face that cut in front of me in the line to KJ's.

Driving I'm assuming, considering he's currently committed to KU. So I guess you could say he'll commit to us instead, right?

I don't care how shitty ku is, it seems silly to turn down a full ride at ku to try and walk-on at kstate.

Grammar miscues probably don't demonstrate illiteracy.  Try "semi-coherent" or "semi-proficient".  You'll get 'em next time, champ.

Is this a witty retort?

That's not true. I did not turn down my ride to KU.

A ride to KU is far more indicative of idiocy than non-idiocy. #APRsmack

So, we have the open scholarship for him.  If Banks is taking Laird's scholarship, we can give a 2015 to this guy if he's available now since Clinkscales left.

It sounds like he redshirted in 2013, played as a frosh in 2014.  So, even if he wasn't a full qualifier out of HS, which there's no indication that he wasn't, he probably has everything in line to classify as 2015.

I guess he was a QB in HS, recruited to Navarro as a TE, and then moved to defense during his RS year.  So, it's an intriguing prospect.  A solid 3x3 with room to grow is a good get.

EDIT: I was mistaken on Clinkscales' scholarship.  It's probably Judah Jones' that he's taking.

Also, he committed to Kansas on 5/12 (or thereabouts).  He got an offer from us on 5/13.

If you're a kid that just wants to play major college ball, and everyone thinks you're a 2016 kid, and you want to reclassify to 2015 (and can), you'll probably take what you can get at this stage of the game.

So, he has offers from KU and Memphis, and it's already mid-May.  You're going to take your best offer.

Then we call the next day...

He's coming to visit here the weekend before he's suppossed to report to KU.  I don't think he's exactly a hard commit.  I don't know if he's any good or not but I'm pretty sure he's ours.

The more DJamer Wall-E does analysis on banks saying he sucks, and the more tuck fans joining on the suck wagon, The more I'm putting my money in the Banks.

Is he still slamming Banks?

Yes, he is basing it off of highlights from high school and juco year and says he didn't improve.  Clearly, if only watching highlights, he improved on everything he talks about.  In his Juco highlights he doesn't run around as much and makes throws that are easy catches for his receivers compared to his high school highlights.  He may have a point on lofty balls. I don't know how Wally takes himself seriously,  the guy has literally never been right on anything. That is what I mostly "Banks" on.

Quote from: DJWALLY
By no means am I trying to (nor would I ever) supersede LHC Bill Snyder's taste in football players.

 My opinions are solely derived from watching Banks' highlights, both high school and junior college.

 Didn't see a whole lot of improvement in his passing style. His motion is obviously a little janky, but what bothers me more are how many passes he hangs. The ball seems to have far too much touch on it and floats down into tight coverage, forcing his receiver to make a big play. I've also noticed that his deep throws aren't terrific (limited strength), but then again K-State doesn't need a QB with a cannon considering the receivers this year. He's like the opposite of Daniel Sams, who had a good arm but wasn't accurate enough.

 Banks also has happy feet, which can be good at times and bad for others. I like mobile QBs, but mobile QBs with poise in the pocket until the play needs a change of direction. Banks wants to bail too quickly if his first read isn't open.

 I saw where his coach compared him to a combination of Cam Newton and Colin Kaepernick, but honestly he appears more similar to the likes of Jacoby Brissett, Devin Gardner, Tevin Washington, or a slower version of Jeff Godfrey. Newton and Kaepernick are completely unfair for Banks.

Klein threw the ball the exact same way - lofty passes, no zip, not a big arm - and no one complained too much
