Football Recruiting Thread

[Fedor]

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?

Are you serious?

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.

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.

I don't know who any of these guys are* but I would take them over everyone we have currently (except Delton but I want him to be able to redshirt)

*I really do but am gE'ing

['taterblast]

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

a lot of people complained

[420seriouscat69]

Wallace should just stfu. Do ppl over there honestly value his opinion?

[manpow5]

So glad I picked up Banks as My Guy. The DJamer Wally bashing is just making me fell that much better. Gonna be a fun year you guys

Every single one of the quarterbacks he listed would have killed in our offense.

For Christ's sake, Devin Gardner had almost 3500 yards of total offense in his junior year at Michigan.  He would have had more because he was injured and didn't play against us in the BWW Bowl.

If Banks is anything like ANY of the QB's he listed, he'll be an all-conference QB at some point while he's here.

What's more ridiculous is that everyone else over at rivals saw his discipline and passing improve enough to warrant 4 stars, versus just giving him a generic 2 or 3 stars. 

Does rivals or gpc has some super secret database of videos to watch?  Need @robcassidy or @jeremycrabtree to confirm.

Basically, I just hate wally and fitz bc they suck at their jobs. So when it benefits me as a 'cats fan, I hope they are wrong.

Kirby loves our setting. Nobody can blame him.

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

You know who else looked a lot like a (not as good) Trevone Boykin?  Trevone Boykin...as a freshman and sophomore.

On KU:  "They do all they can." Very polite of him.

You know what I meant. Wallace certainly had no problems with Klein playing.

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.

Ram the line repeatedly and occasionally lob a ball to a wide open receiver.   Worked for Klein.   Also worked for Nubb for a long time.

Any KU melt downs or was this just kind of expected?

The Phog was fairly reserved and resigned to their fate.

 The new lb redshirted at juco????

[TheHamburglar]

The new lb redshirted at juco????

HS QB a few miles from the juco.  Went to the juco to play TE and that didn't pan out so they moved him to DE towards the end of the year.  Over the summer moved to OLB.

BTW, suck it ku.

Rescind his offer! As far as I'm concerned, one's only as good as their word. And especially since he's considering a rival school after giving a verbal commitment, fück him.

No surprise, had a bad feeling when he announced a visit. Wanted to reclassify for 15 and play right away, and put an emphasis on winning. He also said he was a country boy from a small town so he'll feel right at home humpin heffers in mancrappin. Really wish he wouldn't of committed to us then flip, really makes it hard to want to wish the best for the kid. If he kept his options open and was leaning our way then changed his mind that's one thing but flipping puts more salt in our already wide open football wounds.

Someone should throw a Philly at DJDumbshit's head if you see him. #BanksIsOurMan

Gonna win 'em all!

Skylar Thompson and Xavier Kelly bumped up to 4-stars on rivals.
