Recruiting Forum Football Talk [RIP 9.3.2019]

Interesting that the staff thinks they can get Banks ready to play at Lb this yr. I wonder if a lot of the has to do with they know his "want to", juice will be there and no doubt he will go 150mph whatever he is doing

Do they think he will contribute this year? I thought this was more knowing long term that is where he will excel. I would assume it will be next year before he contributes any meaningful minutes at LB.

No the staff thinks he can help this year from what I have read

I wonder what the rest of Knoxville's sports writers think now that Ubben's around. His work is clearly on another level than VQ, 247, or the Sentinel. Those dudes may break stories, but I feel like Ubben does the best job giving us film breakdown and a good understanding of the game. Plus he isnt a prick on twitter

Interesting, should be fun to watch him develop. Wish him the best for sure.

Lots of respect for this.

Screaming never worked for me personally. Much rather a coach, boss, etc talk to me as an adult. The hollering always struck me as disrespectful unless I’ve done something to deserve it.

I bet you never felt like you deserved it either did you?

He's a good kid. Lol
Seems like I've read that 10 times today.

 

[TechnoVol]

Do you guy want to see more Byrd?

He's been working his tail off blocking out there. I think he deserves more opportunities like he got last week.

Same. I feel you should be able to teach/get your point across without screaming like a crazy person and turning purple.

 

[SpringBokVol]

I love that Banks made that move.

Built to be MLB.

Beast.

And great coaching and teaching from Pruitt. That speaks volumes to players and recruits.

So Banks is Petie from Remember The Titans?

 

[volfanCLT]

Only issue with Banks move is his size THIS year.

Listed at 211 which is a major concern for me. Hopefully he’s much bigger than what he’s listed.

He looks bigger than any of our linebackers

Gonna disagree big time here.

Kirkland (listed at 234) walked by him in the video I saw and was noticeably thicker.

No

He isnt getting drafted this year

Like this?

 

[SweetasSoda]

Did I understand right that he requested being moved to LB? Been in and out all day so not sure if I got the whole story.

Strange how most were so excited about him being a beast at RB

[DD4ME]

He’s played in like 4 games his entire collegiate career. He should be given more time to fix the problem. He doesn’t know the LB position. We don’t have good depth at RB. Sounds like a waste of time and talent, IMO.

I agree.

Yes apparently he asked right after the Georgia game and they was hesitant to make the move until now

Have you seen him play? Weight won’t be an issue.

 

[volfanCLT]

Have you seen him play? Weight won’t be an issue.

I have seen him play and 211 would be concerning to me. Tough to hold up against SEC interior linemen at that weight.

Fitz will have him 230+ by next year

 

[NMVol]

I think Banks just wants to move toward more playing time.
