He's a stud. Hope we land him.

He'd also be a decent pickup if we need another running back.

Someone who's fast and actually gets their head around and see's the ball coming.

Would this be our 7th or 8th JUCO of this class?

Grindle said. “I want to be around a program that is ready to win a championship.”

Arizona State, Fresno State, Kentucky and Louisville are among the teams showing interest in Grindle. Louisiana-Lafayette has offered a scholarship.

If he is talking National Championships then non of the above apply, but Conference?

Arizona State: Maybe

Fresno State: Possibility if Boise State falls off the wagon

Kentucky: No Chance in Hell

Louisville: Not Likely

Loufwaffa: Has a Chance

UNT: Who Knows

I would love to see this kid come here but the chances of landing him are not likely.

He just said those schools have shown interest. Louisiana Lafayette is the only one who has actually offered him. Very small chance any of those first 4 schools offer him.

Oh I know Billy, I was just running down the list of teams looking. When I saw championship, I chuckled

Seems like there should be a commitment coming soon from this young man.

UNTLifer · February 1, 2015

Hope you are right Coach.

Harry · February 1, 2015

Vito confirms the commit this morning!

Nice film, but good gosh guess I'm spoiled to be in TX, that video is worse than when I was growing up. All of our cameras at TC are HD! Coach believes if scouts can't watch your film from quality perspective they'll move right along. Interesting to see how different two places are. Glad you're on board, time to throw up the "X"

BillySee58 · February 1, 2015

Nice! He has really good film. I like this pickup

BillySee58 · February 1, 2015

Should be a 2 to play 2 guy, since he enrolled at Mississippi State in 2012 (will be a redshirt junior this upcoming season).

Greendylan · February 1, 2015

Really happy about this pickup. I have to give the coaches credit for getting him in and securing a quick commitment.

jtm0097 · February 1, 2015

He will contribute. Nice pick up.

Harry · February 1, 2015

Speed kills and this kid can fly.

UNTLifer · February 1, 2015

I think this worked out for the best. Banks went where he wanted and we, IMHO, got a better corner in Xavier. Welcome to Denton and North Texas!

The metrics on his hudl page are...next level caliber (if accurate)

He is, athletically. There's a reason 5 of the then 6 SEC West schools offered this kid out of high school. He's an elite athlete. I don't know why he didn't have more offers as a JUCO, but it's not because he lacks talent.
