HE WASNT ELIGIBLE TO PLAY.

He didn’t quit, he was not eligible to participate.

Why did he go on record saying he opted out? I assume he was trying to “save face”… Either way, if he wasn’t academically eligible because he chose not to go to his two classes, he did quit.

He was a very good thumper at the LB spot. But he was a liability in coverage and had too many off-field issues

I thank him for his contributions, but I am happy to see him go. Hopefully if he can mature and leave those issues in the past. I wish him luck wherever his next step leads him.

Appreciated everything he did after his run in with the police. For Tennessee to successful we need kids that have his relentless mentality on the field. The 90’s was loaded with kids like Banks on and off the field and we default to those days as a the glory years.

After that fiasco with the law, he really redeemed himself. I think he grew up a lot from that experience.

Last season he couldn't control his energy and got several PFs but was our best player by far on D.

As far as the SCAR, I honestly don't know enough about it to make a determination.

I thought it was a mistake for him to not go bowling. Good luck at the next level.

Final Grade: B+ (not including any possible demerits for SCAR turd laying by defense)

That’s a fair assessment

Really? Sorry can’t let this go. I’m not buying that BS explanation at all.

Bc if what you say Is true then COY Heup and staff are guilty of gross coaching malpractice at such a crucial point in the season with the CFP absolutely on the line. Player apathy or “overconfidence” during game week would 💯 be noticeable by the staff in a myriad of ways. And moreover would be called out and FIXED.

If you and others honestly want to believe that Banks’ absence wasn’t the key reason our D went on strike vs SC then you do you.

However, why would Coach Heupel go out of his way in his SC postgame presser to address those players who didn’t make the trip and obliquely suggest they reflect on how their absence cost their teammates? (or something to that effect)

And why do you think coach reached out in the portal to bring in a mature stable 25yo leader at LB to replace Banks? Just bc he was arguably the best available LB? Sure but more important HE FITS THE CHAMPIONSHIP PLAYER CULTURE Heup is building. About as opposite from Banks as you can get.

Sorry not sorry your argument doesn’t pass the sniff test to me 🤷🏻‍♂️

It doesn't pass the smell test cause what you're peddling is crap.

The dash cam video I saw was no rumor. He’s been more trouble than he’s worth for years. His overall buddy of work is what I judge on. Not 1 incident. With that says he’s been continuous trouble. Glad he’s gone.

Why don't you leave with him?

Doesn't mean he wasn't eligible. I know, facts are hard.

Believe what you want. Wasn’t eligible for bowl. Several others have eluded to that including Eric Cain and AP. Story was already written just waiting for Tennessee or Banks to announce.

Jeremy Banks isn’t a VFL. He quit on his team to “prepare for the NFL draft” and likely won’t be drafted. He didn’t bother attending classes and wasn’t academically eligible. A VFL doesn’t get suspended for a crucial SEC game, get arrested, create a huge distraction, and then screw up after getting third and fourth chances. I appreciate his contributions on the field but he left on a very bad note IMHO.

I keep hearing he had not passed his grades and had no choice in playing. I do not know if that is true, but who knows. I don't .

I think being a VFL means more to some of you than it does to most of these players. They make the school a lot more money than the school pours into them. While they owe this school and themselves the responsibility to carry themselves with dignity & maturity, it doesn't always work out that way. Whether it's Banks or Hyatt, if they want to cut out early for whatever reason, good for them if they think they're doing the right thing. They don't owe me an explanation and they probably don't care what I think anyway. They're kids/young men, they receive guidance from their circle, and they make a decision that they think is best for them. I sure support that.

I support Hyatt’s decision bc he is likely a 1st round draft choice. It came down to a risk vs reward business decision. I respect and admire Byron Young’s decision in opting to play with his teammates. That’s a VFL.

Good for you. Glad we're not neighbors, as I'm sure you'd Karen me. To my shame, as a child, I once pulled the antennae off a butterfly. Killed a cat. Climbed a tree and used a BB gun to sink my brother's wind up submarine. Nevermind that I'm now an animal lover (except for snake), contribute to toys for tots, keep my bird feeder stocked, feed squirrels. Being as unforgiving, perpetually hate infected as you are, you'd probably want to run me out of the state, and likely off the planet for my past sins. I'm just glad you aren't Jesus--whew, I really lucked out on that.
