Thanks. I have been on the boards since 1997 when I was a student at Texas. We've spent decades as fans and board patrons feeling powerless to create any real change. The Internet, social media,

I work closely with a certain previously committed 5 star QB's father (hint: its Quinn Ewers, for those who haven't been following recruiting closely like I have) and chatted with him a bit this after

Five-star OT Kelvin Banks explains commitment to Oregon
BRIAN PERRONI
 

Humble (Texas) Summer Creek five-star offensive tackle Kelvin Banks originally had an announcement planned for July 24 before moving things up close to three weeks. He instead decided to reveal his commitment on Sun., July 4.

The 6-foot-5, 300-pounder, ranked as the No. 15 overall prospect in the nation per the industry-generated 247Sports Composite, had taken June official visits to LSU, Oklahoma State, Oregon, Texas and Texas A&M. Those schools made his final five but, when it came to deciding, he went with Oregon.

“I just felt like I was at home there,” Banks said on Sunday morning. “Most people might go for glitz and glamour and all that stuff. But I was just looking for a place I could go and get a good education, get my degree and have a support system around me with the coaching staff. The coaching staff is great, so I feel like it was a great place for me to be.”

Even though he moved up his decision date, Banks says he did not know where he would choosing until the night before.

“I knew last night,” Banks said on Sunday morning. “That’s when I made my decision. I had been down to them and A&M and was really looking at both. I thought it might be A&M but I just had to go with Oregon.

“It really was just me feeling it in my heart. I can’t really explain any one thing that made that my decision. I just felt the most comfortable there. It’s the place I felt I would be best used and fit in the best.”

Banks took his final official visit to Aggieland and had long been very high on A&M. He said that made the choice even tougher.

“It was A&M right after [Oregon],” he said. “It was a really hard decision with them. That’s why it took me until the last minute. I really like it at A&M a lot and I like all the coaches there a lot. That was really tough not to pick them.”

Some have asked if the decision came down to the Name, Image and Likeness (NIL) ruling, especially with Oregon being Nike’s main schools. Banks says that was not the case, though.

“I understand the NIL pretty well from visiting all these schools,” he said. “But that wasn’t really a big part of my decision. They talked about it the same as the others, about me having people up there that would help me and things like that. But that’s the same thing everybody said.”

Banks is commitment No. 14 for the Ducks in the class. He joins a pair of Texans who made their commitments to Oregon this past week in Duncanville offensive lineman Cameron Williams and Katy four-star wide receiver Nicholas Anderson as the most recent pledges. Mansfield Timberview four-star safety Landon Hullaby is another prospect from the Lone Star State that has been committed to Oregon for some time now, as has DeSoto wide receiver Stephon Johnson.

Oregon, can’t wait to go 7-5!

True or not, it isn’t like Texas offers an alternative to this in any of these recruits’ living memory. That’s the bottom line. They win some games and make a splash this year, which is plenty possible with the roster, perhaps things will turn around. If not, we’re back here hoping a new staff fixes the class of 2025.

Think it was a couple years ago, but it was noted that the combined composite average for all four playoff teams at OL was in the low 4* range (89-90).

The talent on campus currently isn't the problem, it's that these guys have been coached by Herb Hand and Warehime.  Last year was a dud only landing two guys and I only see Conner ever contributing.  I like the two guys we got so far as they were both prioritized, but we still have a void at OT.  We will probably be portal shopping in another year or two if guys like Garth or Karic don't pan out.

We still averaged 5.3 yards per rush last year, and that was factoring in all the sacks Sam had.  If Flood is who we think he is, have to think that goes up a good bit.

Yeah kinda interesting that our best OTs the last 10 years have all been 3 stars. Connor Williams, Cosmi, Kerstetter, now Jones, Karic. So yeah, maybe it's a position where ratings don't matter as much.

Portal should help too. C'mon Brocks if you get tired of waiting to play lol

The reality is our failure to land elite recruits on the OL and DL will keep us from taking the next step. Nothing matters until we get those areas fixed and stockpiled into the future. 

hey, we've had 2 olineman drafted the last 3 years, or 13, however you want to look at it.

Anyone else ready to start panicking with me about Campbell? Oregon need any guards?

don’t be fatuous. we’re not getting campbell. it’s pretty clear now that sark and flood built their reputations on saban’s coattails. without him they are as flaccid and useless as herman and hand.

The tools are there. He just needs to play with some players that are on his skill level in a real game.

Nope, only narcissistic DL’s.  But even if he was, the amount of whining from the board might be too much for any kid to handle. Until the letter is in, stop whining and complaining about a bunch of 17-18 boys who love the attention.  We win and they will be lining up to come to Austin.  Everyone needs to relax and let the season play out. The amount of bitchassedness this week is laughable.

I think Tate Ewers is going to be a bust.  I think Maalik is the right guy.  He needs 2-3 years I the system and he's going to be the man in Austin.  Klubnick is a good QB.  I wish him well at Clemson

Aggie Films? I've seen this movie before

On the one hand, how could an aggy documentary about a blue chip safety go wrong? On the other hand, Anderson with a surprise commitment to aggy (or Oregon lolz) wood be pretty on brand for the week.

Edit: Obligatory in on 500

Futile prayers for no more bitchassery on the continued march to 1000.


I think bitchassery is a term used to described needless bitching when negativity is not warranted. I wouldn’t classify our offensive line recruiting house of cards crumbling to be in that category.
