Good article on Garnett and Banner...

It's rare when someone 6-foot-5 and about 300 pounds (Garnett) calls himself a nerd. And then there's Banner, who said he isn't concerned about growing more - he's already 6-9 and 335 - because even if he grows to 6-11, he'll make it work at offensive tackle.

They also adhere to the same motto.

"When we get our hands on them, they're done," Banner said. "(Garnett will) take a dude into the ground just like me."

Garnett, who wants to study pre-med, said he has the mentality of a defensive tackle and prefers to play like a bullet instead of a bowling ball, a phrase he picked up from Oregon coach Chip Kelly. The four-star prospect said he wants to play the game like Colts defensive end Dwight Freeney. (IIRC, wasn't Freeney a protege of Coach Azz?)

"That's something you can find in the both of us that's different than any of the other national linemen is that we both take pride in our athleticism," Banner said.

"We want to be faster, we want to be stronger and we want to be more explosive than everybody. That's what our workouts are based off of, that explosion, technique and speed. That's us."

Was just going to post this...

Definitely sound like they both have an Oregon mindset...

Great Article, happy if we could get both these guys! to me it sounds like they are speaking Oregon language, I believe if they came to Oregon they would flourish with Coach Rad (hard,fast, Finish) and Coach Azz (technique and explosion)

either way I think they will stay on the west coast, I am sure they want family to be able to attend their games.

UW has an incredible Med school so him hoping to go into pre-med may play a factor...

I think the general consensus, as I've read pretty much all the interviews and tidbits re these 2, is Garnett has the stronger pull to UW and other schools. We have a better shot with Banner. Right now I'd say Garnett is in the 10-15% range and Banner around 30-40%.

But you can be pre-med just about anywhere that has science/biology classes.

Yup, my brother is doing that at Oregon. A lot of "pre-med students" actually become Biology Majors.

General science and human physiology are also big with UO students doing pre-med.

Yah, i'm a Human Phys major, and tons of people doing it are pretty much pre med guys, that just take the required classes for med school. Pre Med, isn't really a major, its just prep classes and saying that they wont do anything until after graduate school, so as long as you take the required classes for Med School, then its not an issue what you actually major in.
