I wonder if LMC still goes full ballz mode if he knows this is why...

It’s not really about who is better, we’ve had this spot promised to Lolohea for years, Pete isn’t going back on that.insinceredawg said:So we
I think you nailed it. Now the question is, who's the better prospect between Banks and Lohohea? Lohohea is probably more physically mature since he's got a few years on Banks but he also hasn't played football since the 2016 season.DoogCourics said:insinceredawg said:Over on BDTW @sonics1993 says we dropped Banks cause Smalls committed and we still have Lohohea joining in this class with no one graduating. Makes sense I suppose but it still hurts that we are passing on him because we have Myles Rice and Ryan Bowman on the roster.

This screams that there was an experiment run with trying to move Banks to ILB, and it failed miserably. Oklahomo, Alabama, Ohio State, UW.... all of them backed off him as an ILB. They likely went back to thinking he was an edge guy, and with Lolohea coming back and Smalls committed, there was no more space for Banks.insinceredawg said:
That is where I'm confused. In Roof's write up today she said they were always recruiting Banks to play outside.GrundleStiltzkin said:

What obligation did UW have to Banks? He all had all winter, spring, and summer to commit, he choose not to and his spot got taken. Tell me what UW did wrong and what there obligation was to him?dnc said:

I don't understand his view point so can someone help me out, what am I missing? Where did we do Banks wrong?dnc said:

However we've been told previously they would hold a spot for Smalls.GrundleStiltzkin said:

So are we to believe if Banks committed a month ago, and then Smalls committed today, it'd be ok, but in the opposite order it's not possible?
That doesn't seem just a bit silly to anyone else...? -
There's contingent that have a real personal interest in Banks and really don't like our current ILB commits, especially the kid from Texas. I can see a little of their point about the LA perception thing. However, booting a committed kid is way worse, that's a global perception issue, for lack of a better term. I'm sure Alabama or Clemson could get away with that, Washington can't. And shouldn't, in my opinion.sonics1993 said:

That is a good question, if Smalls would be on the outs if Banks got across the line first.NoWarningJustDawg said:

I think the implication is that since this visit has been set up for so long that we would atleast save a spot through this weekend. Obviously we don't know if the coaches pushed him to commit earlier, but we usually set guys up to commit on/right after the visit.sonics1993 said:
