Transfer LB Keenan Pili (BYU team captain)

[SayUWantAreVOLution]

Agreed.
Do we have any confirmation that Banks is playing in the Orange Bowl?
I think he needs the exposure if he is going pro.

He's been practicing with the team. It's doubtful Heupel would waste reps if he wasn't.

might Be the biggest signee on Recruiting Day ….let me reword that …most impactful player next year ? This man or Nico ? Wait what about Hobbs, Bradley, Telander ,Smith ? Great job ’cruitin’

Please define "seniors." I'll be danged if I can.

A senior is a classification for someone who is in their last year of football...unless they are a RS Sr, which could mean they have 2 years. Or a COVID SR, which means they could have 2 years, or a RS COVID Sr, which means that they actually classify as a FR and can play CFB until they qualify for social security.

Hope that clears that up for you....

I really hope Nico is not the most impactful player next year...I really hope MIlton earns and keeps the starting QB job all year because he is lights out good.

This is leadership in pads. What we sought and missed with Toto and not one of Jeremy Banks gifts. If he holds up physically, this is a homerun addition and a boon to the young, gifted linebackers behind him.

I wonder if this means Juwan Mitchell won’t be using his final year. Pili and Beasley would be the presumed starters.

Where are the posts about this generation of kids are quitters, take the easy way out, uncommitted, etc??

Can somebody please explain to this geezer what that three-finger hand sign is all about? I see so many of our players doing it. I don’t think it has anything to do with da crips or da bloods.

We can hope. That never worked.

He's spelling out VOL with his fingers. It's something that got made up a few years ago. Not talked about much, but we see players use it a lot

The answer might SHOCK you.

Solid get. He was a team captain at BYU. He’ll be 25 years old next season (2 year Mormon mission trip in 2017-2018), we need that experience & maturity on defense.

Likely "leadership. Leadership!!!

 

[Volbackhomefromtx]

Students use it, too. Having lived in Texas, I got my fill of gig ‘em, hook ‘em, and guns up. Looking forward to VOL when TAM comes to LNS in March and Neyland during football season. You can Google Vol hand sign to see how it is formed.

Don’t feel old. I had to ask the first year they were doing it. Back in our day, only gang members did this kind of thing…now even little Japanese girls make hand gestures in all their pics.

 

[stevenrich2003]

Plus he's married, so he'll need to take all the anger out on the opponent

You sir, have won the internet! Post of the year!

Aha! Now I get it…many thanks!

 

[swampfoxfan]

I refuse to believe this guy will be a bust like Mitchell.

 

[TheFlash1971]

OhhhhYeaah!!!!

Him & Beasley lot of experience back there that means a lot. If Banks is coming back, they would have 12+ years' experience between those 3. Thats everything you want if all are on the same page, just waiting to see how Banks situation shakes out. GBO

ain’t trying to sound ugly but I agree on Mitchell, Beasley whiffs too much on missed tackles, I hope we can fill the position with one of the young guns..Herring, Joseph,Pearce ..critical need..jmho

LOL! Let it go. You don't have to be right. He's not 18 or 19! He saw significant action at BYU and produced. Some don't get on the field their freshman year so they quit or give up thinking the grass will be greener. This guy wants a chance at big boy ball. It's too bad your feeble little brain can't grasp the concept.
