HOW IS BANKS ONLY A 3 star athlete?

Not saying he won't be good but his highlight video was shite. I've watched the other videos I could find of him at camps and he looks pretty good but not 4 or 5* good (right now at least).

To me he looks like a guy who is being recruited mostly for his potential upside which he definitely has. After seeing what I've seen on film he looks like a safety to me. Has great length and a great frame to put on good weight. The speed's there and the physicality is there. Solid tackler in the open field.

I never worry too much about the stars, I look a what schools are offering him. That tells me more about the kid's ability that some analysts evaluation, besides he'll probably get a bump as the season goes along.

He looked really good at both Houston camps(The Opening and Under Armour). He received an invite to the Opening Finals camp, that's where he will be reevaluated this summer.

Then you would think that they would have updated their ranking for him by now. That's strange if he's dominating at camps but still hasn't risen in rank.

They don't update rankings that often. They'll probably do an update later in the summer and then do final updates in December.

He tests well in camps, but he has yet to put it all together on tape. Hes a raw prospect.

Wasn't Honey Badger a 3*??

While this is very true, it does hurt our sales pitch to other elite players. You would think that these analysts would weigh the offers they are getting a little more that the limited film they see.

1) Offer lists are rarely accurate, yet people love to claim they mean a kid is more legit than his ranking.

2) He underperformed in his videos. Good, but not great prospect there as others have said.

3) Just because he committed to LSU doesn't mean he must be some amazing under the radar talent. LSU hast to take CBs in this class and will oversign in that area to make up for O's eff up last year.

4) Kid is still developing and if he deserves it, the ranking will go up in time.
