5* OL - Joshua Garnett

[glazeduck]

I'd be surprised if Garnett is not a huskie. Banner on the other hand.....

I've heard the total opposite
I thought Banner was a total UW lock

Dunmore seems to think differently, and he says he talks to Banner all the time according to the article on 247.

I'm being 100% serious here - if Oshay Dunmore can successfully get Banner and Garnett to both come to Oregon he will have earned all 5 years of his scholarship. I couldn't care less if he ever plays a single down for the team, it'll be worth it.

(Having said that, it'd be awesome if he turns out to be a stud as well), but getting those kids would be HUGE

Well, it looks like he would only have to get one of them to do that. Garnett/Banner are really good friends IIRC and they want to play for the same place, so if he gets one, theres a decent chance we can get both of them. We'll see though. As we've seen before, at times, it only takes a slight chance to get guys to jump ship to UO.

And isn't Balducci suposed to be good friends with them also ?

[woundedknees]

Yes on Balducci.

It could be bad if UW gets both of them because they are also almost a lock to get Lincoln Kennedy's son as well who is like 6'7 and 290 already and will be a highly rated o-lineman........Kennedy said he won't influence his son's decision at all, except that he wouldn't allow him to go to Oregon

So you are saying Oregon isn't remotely in the running for Zach Banner?

"Oh yeah, he's also a 3.6 student and President of his junior class. Popular, out-going and funny, with an outsized and charismatic personality to match what would otherwise be fearsome bulk, Banner is the biological child of former Husky All-American Lincoln Kennedy, who went on to play seven years in the NFL and made two Pro Bowls. His real parents, Ron and Vanessa Banner, are Washington State graduates. Speculation abounds, but speculation is pointless."

With Mom and step-Dad being Wazzu grads, I doubt Kennedy has the final say in anything.

I heard that Banner and Kennedy did not have the best of relationships, but I could be wrong..

Have heard that too...

[Braveheart]

Yeah, they barely started talking about a year or two ago. If Banner goes to UW, it'll have nothing to do with Lincoln Kennedy

[lukeyrid13]

O i did not know they were the same person lol

[lukeyrid13]

Kennedy was asked on his show about recruiting and if he would have an influence on his son's choice and he said he would be fine with anyone but Oregon. He said cause of possible sanctions, the playing style because it doesn't prepare players for the NFL and is essentially a "fluff" offense. .......Basically just seemed like he had his purple and gold goggles on and couldn't take them off when it came to Oregon but could be impartial otherwise

[Bigducker]

The ultimate scenario for me would be that we were exonerated from any wrong doing in the Lyles fiasco and that we steal both Garnett and Banning from Wash. I would have a smile on my face all year.

I Hate those guys.

It's not like UW was clean either. And to say Oregon's offense wouldn't prepare him to play in the NFL, I'd say Oregon's zone blocking scheme is used pretty much by every NFL team. As for the "fluff" offense, he should ask any Pac-10 school or even Oklahoma State is Oregon is a physical team because every one of those said Oregon was.

remember I believe Zach Banner when taking a visit to Oregon, really liked what he saw with basketball. I think honestly Banner is Oregon, but I believe Garnett might be UW so let the war begin. I could just see those two going back and forth about the those schools pros and cons..
