Korey Banks Jr

[Pollodawg]

Even if his dad had never played here, with measurables like that, he deserves to be on the board.

[Ifyouonlyknew]

He's on the board he just doesn't have an offer. Look at our commits in the secondary all are legit big time SEC prospects. We have 2 spots left. Knott has a spot until signing day. That leaves 1 spot. Should we offer Korey Jr maybe so but there are a couple really good really fast instate guys we like also. Keshon Heard, Lamarques Thomas, & even Taury Dixon. It's just a tough board this year & it's a lot of really good players instate.

You have to be loyal to your own and Banks is one of us.

I don't really disagree but question do we take Taury Dixon then over Banks since he's instate & Quenton Culberson's nephew. Also he's Knott's teammate. He's family too & has an in with 1 of our top rated players on the board.

I'm not doubting your story in general, but there is no way in hell the kid ran a legit 4.2. Just sayin'

from his dad:

"Yes, I'm proud. State has talked to me for 2 years, and said they would offer him, but never did. He picked verbal UCLA, but he would have went to State if they had offered. All his family is there.
Stephen ran all of his sub 4.4 , 40's, while hurt. He is really a 4.2 guy. The public doesn't know it. He is recruited as a athlete, and most teams want him as a D' Anthony Thomas type, and or DB.
I HAD HIM PACKED AND READY FOR STARKVILLE."

We're losing 2 starters and currently won't have legitimate depth on the position. I say you take all 3.

The #'s just don't allow it. We're already going to take 6 DB's in this class of a class that's not going to be a full 25 man class. Some guys just aren't going to make it.

If that's the case I go back to my previous statement, you take care of your own. Ironically, Sandy Creek has been a pipeline for 2 SEC schools Georgia and Ole Miss.

Where did the Johnson kid end up? Name?

Stephen Johnson III's SPARQ #'s included:

119.94 overall rating (99th percentile)
4.37 40 (99th percentile)
35.2" vertical leap (97th percentile)
4.09 sec shuttle (99th percentile)

According to his dad, Stephen was injured when he ran this. Kid got around 14 offers, and chose UCLA over Oregon, Oregon State, Cal, Washington, Washington State, Colorado, Duke, and many more. His dad said an offer from us would have been accepted on-the-spot, done-deal.

He played 2-way in HS, QB & DB. UCLA plans to use him in slot, as a DB and kick-returner.

Scout.com profile says:
He's one of the fastest players in the state and will be a threat in the return game at the next level as well. He has loose hips, a strong, compact body and very quick feet. He's a tough kid and although you have to project with him since he doesn't play much DB, the upside is definitely there

Looks like our coaches took Spivey instead. I don't know the situation, but him being one of the fastest players in California would have gotten my attention.
