He's a nice solid addition. Given our season last year he gives hope to continued good recruiting this year.

We will need him at DB though. We are going to get hit by big graduations soon.

Interview taken from a Pittsburgh Paper.

THE DUMBEST PART OF RECRUITING IS ... "Probably having to talk to all the recruiting people from all the Web sites like Rivals. They really bother you a lot and ask you a lot of dumb stuff. I just really don't like dealing with them at all."

Maybe thats why he is only a 3 star. The first thing I look at when judging a player is their offer list not at how many stars they have. And his offer list says a lot.

i totally agree if top programs all want him then hes good

Regardless of where he plays, Banks will be a special player at ND.

I disagree and I can't remember who spoke out about it a few years ago but whoever it was went on to say that going by the offer list is as faulty as anything else. The reason is that prospects get offered for different reasons some see the prospects as a main part of there recruitment where other see a nice set of tools but nothing more than a project that's got great upside. Sometimes some prospects just don't fit a certain style of play so they won't get some of those sexy offers.

Point being offer lists like trusting the recruiting sites for the rating is only so good and that it's far from fool proof.

Plus a lot of recruits will list offers they don't actually have

That is sad, but true, rc.
