    Listed them in my Biggins poasts above. Oklahoma and Ohio State.

    Thank you, but I meant besides those 2. Were there any others or just us 3?

    Gotta be Henry T.

    Better not be, to drop a potential 2020 player for a eligible-in-2021 guy at a position of immediate need, when we?re under the scholly cap right now.
    And you think Banks could help with that next year? It's going to take him two or three years before he starts contributing.
    I don't know whether Banks would or not. I know Henry won't, unless there's something extenuating we* don't know about that could make him eligible immediately. I can get my head around moving on from Banks for a 2020 guy. As much as I covet Henry, that's hard for me to make sense of.
    His senior tape at linebacker isn't great, he's having a tough time keeping his weight down so he's probably a outside guy and his lack of length makes it difficult for him to survive outside when he gets to college which is why he been dropped from multiple colleges.
    Forgive us for not trusting our coaches to evaluate linebackers at the moment
    If we dropped him because somebody else committed then I'm fine waiting to see who that somebody else is. Assuming it's a) not Smalls (who we were expecting to come in with Banks) and b) someone of equivalent or better talent and c) we still get Smalls, than I'm fine with this. If any of those three conditions aren't met than I'm not fine with it.

    I think Banks was probably the most overrated recruit on these boreds because basically one poster was obsessed with him and turned him into everyone's obsession. I got caught up in it for awhile myself but have cooled on him for a bit now as I looked at things myself.

    I'm LIPO on this one.
    Mostly agree, linebackers are hard to evaluate on hudl tape. I would just prefer to take the chance on an athlete like Banks in addition to the other LBs we get, instead of taking 4 WRs, 2 RBs & 2-3TEs in one class.
    Gary Bryant still visiting plus linebacker visit cancelled... Is Soyboi gonna play LB after all?
    This was exactly what I was wondering.

    Sonics saying we did just pick up a supersecret commit.

    Didn't say "supersecret" whatever that means, just that we picked one up at that position.
    If merely secret, drop it in the Wam. If not secret at all, who was it?
    I don't announce a recruit commitment before they do. I did that with Latu and felt super bad about it, won't ever do it again. Let them have there moment.
    Is the commit even a LB?

    Doogs always overrated him. There's a reason why so many staffs passed on him even before his senior year. Dude is a tweener. Not big enough for one position, not athletic enough for the other.
