'16 TN CB Dorian Banks (Former UT commit)

[sigchig]

Hate all the negative comments when a kid decommits. Given how much talent we're bringing in, some of these guys may never get to see the field. Honestly, if I had a choice between being a benchwarmer for 4 years at UT or being a 3-year starter at somewhere like East Carolina, Miami (OH), or Western Kentucky, I'd probably choose being a starter.

Everyone has to decide what's best for himself. For Mr. Banks, getting a chance to play may be a big priority. I wish Mr. Banks nothing but the best of luck.

Why is everyone being d bags about it? Did he do something d baggish himself?

It's the usual d-bags that always do this.... I think it's a jealousy thing for them.

 

[CWGvol]

Hasn't he bounced around different schools already?

Nope

I agree. Why cant people just wish the kid well and move on?

I found this, not sure what it means............

Banks returned to Sevier County this season after playing at Gallatin as a junior, becoming eligible the week leading into the regular season after a bona fide change of address.
also played for the Smoky Bears as a sophomore, and at Ezell-Harding as a freshman.

@LilBanks22: I'd like to announce that I'm no longer committed to The University of Tennessee & that my recruitment has been opened back up .

Candy bound with his QB

Not sure if he is even Vandy level at this point. Will see how his season and academics go.

Lol, come on, Vandy has no floor.

Vandy would take him just to say they took a UT commit

Yep and try to say the our state crap for taking someone we had no plans to sign

 

[MyBloodRunnethOrange]

Best of luck to him wherever he lands.

 

[StoVol]

Good luck to the young man, play well and get that degree!

 

[LA Vol]

Inevitable. Wish him success wherever he goes.

 

[jwells]

He is a grade risk, apparently.

The problem with athletics: you're invincible....until it's time to get eligible for college. We coddle these kids because they can run, jump, throw, and catch. It's no surprise they find out too late that they actually have to apply themselves.

 

[VolFan4Life10]

The kid just never developed the way the staff thought he would when he committed as a sophomore imo.

 

[BlueHalo]

Grade problems? Future WVU player.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Wish him the best. Makes room for another big brick!

 

[CABVOL]

Good luck to the young man.

Show some class VN.

Banks will be a future star for Carson Newman Eagles, IMO.

Best of luck to Banks.

Instant starter at APSU IMO

Hate it, because I have met Banks a couple of times, and he seemed like a good kid. However, this is the usual pattern. Some commit early, but plans and priorities change over time, especially when they have to deal with things like eligibility issues. Wherever he goes, hope he gets his degree and has a good college experience.
