My opinion is that Banks messed up by transferring. I know that Odessa is a good Junior College but I am sure that the plan was not to end up at a JUCO. i bet he thought he would transfer to a bigger school in a better conference and he ends up at a JUCO. These kids keep making bad decisions and getting bad advice from the adults in their lives. . I bet the plan now is to go to Odessa for a year and then go to a bigger conference. We will see. I guess after he missed the deadline to transfer without sitting out a year that JUCO was the only option. Sad for Banks and sad for Western. Going to JUCO against lesser competition is not going to make Banks a better player.

He can play, and has the potential to get a lot better. But that nobody in the SoCon or big south snapped him up seems to show that he miscalculated.

What good would it do him to go to another big south or SoCon school? Players at Wofford, Mercer or Kennesaw State are not getting anymore noticed than players at Western. Coach gave him a lot of chances to play and start especially for a Freshman and he decides to transfer. Seems to be unappreciative and ungrateful of the opportunities Western afforded him. Now he is farther from home so his parents and friends have no chance of seeing him play. Probably got advice from some clueless adult(s) that told him he could do much better than Western. Odessa Community College?

A lateral move (at best) by way of Odessa, TX
