HH told him if he wanted to succeed he needed to drop weight. 247

Longo called to congratulate him, he reweighed after the call... now weighs 289.

F$&@ ya! Gotta love this. On top of this, I believe we landed a diamond in the rough with Gibbons. Apparently he's a legit 6'5 310lbs. I see Boudreaux being our C post Hoge/Mustipher. Kraemer, Hainsey, Gibbons as Guards and Eichenberg, Banks and Lugg at Tackles. I like this lots.

Awesome! Much needed good news!

IrishFanJMercy · Dec 9, 2016

He kinda reminds me of the guy Baylor had 2 years ago 6'8 and 320 pounds on defense

After watching his highlight film and seeing him bury RB's for losses over and over, I kinda wondered the same. I'm quite certain he's a lock at LT considering #1. He has a prototype LT body #2. HH has been recruiting him hard #3. We really do need tackles. Kraemer, Boudreaux, Gibbons are all inside guys and it seems that Hainsey projects as a guard with his great pulling skills (although myself and others have made the argument that he may start out at guard to see the field then slide to Tackle as he excelled there at IMG against top flight DE's and has the long arms). That only leaves Lugg and Eichenberg.

GO IRISH!!!!! OLU!!!!!!

Not a LT. His game is mauling people in the run game. RT or he could even slide inside to guard.

Yes, you certainly could be right. Hainsey could end up being a tackle/ swing guy as well. I love it.

With Banks committing and assuming Kizer an Hunter jr leave, I we have no more surprise departures and Cage is still playing, how many more spots do we have left?? It would be SUPER painful to see us turn down any of the guys we're gunning for. I'm nervous.

Do not even contemplate that question until the end of the end of the semester.

The NFL possible players besides Kizer have to make it official.

GS years or GS transfers for Bivin, Butler, Folston, McGovern & Matuska have to be finalized.

Medical scholarships have to be decided for Cage, Brent, maybe other(s)

At least one RS Soph, Soph, RS Fr or Fr. will transfer, they always do.

Lastly, grades or some other scandalous situation is always just around the bend... in South Bend

So by week 2 in Feb we should know how many PWO's will catch a ride in '17.

Are you sure these two brothers are in high school? They look Ashawn Robinson old. Lucky I am with you he would be impossible to move at NT.

Especially if we move to a 3-4

No one got my Cake Eater reference?

I did just see one of the ND services say we were currently at 85 after Werner left. But once again, that doesn't include any the possibilities.

NDPhilly · Dec 9, 2016

Our 247 average for the 2017 class is currently 90.4 which is Kelly's second highest as ND coach.

rtrn2glory · Dec 9, 2016

Really pleasantly surprised by this! Hopefully we can have a good next couple of months to stop the bleeding

NCND · Dec 9, 2016

Are they gonna turn him to a Marshmallow in 2 years? Just wondering.

Irish#1 · Dec 9, 2016

Solid pickup.

None if our starting OL are marshmallows. They just had a down year and got out worked at times. I think all the talk of our OL getting pushed around has been blown Out of proportion.

NDVirginia19 · Dec 10, 2016

Someone needs to get Banks on that Quentin Nelson diet/workout regime asap

Irish Man3 · Dec 10, 2016

A little surprised by this. Great job by HH and staff to stay on this guy. Welcome Mr. Banks

I wonder what the family grocery bill looks like

ND Fan Vancouver · Dec 10, 2016

Just saw Banks sign something online at his commitment presentation and he's a lefty. Just thought I'd mention it. Might be more suited for the left side.

Meatloaf · Dec 21, 2016

Big pick up! Literally! Congratulations to Aaron and the entire Banks family! Big accomplishment, welcome to ND!
