Kris Bankston

This kid's potential is considerable. He was our leading rebounder per minutes played. He shot an outstanding 62% from the field. He lead the team in blocks with 30. All this as a true freshman on a team that obviously was not very well coached. What might he do with good coaching? He is a true inside player, having attempted only one shot from the arc all season. I really, really like this kid's upside. Hopefully this new staff has someone who knows how to teach the inside game (those are very rare these days). Hopefully this staff is even interested in having an inside game (many are not these days). I hope Kris is putting in lots of time in the weight room in the off-season and bulking up so he can dominate inside. And I do not use that word "dominate" lightly. This is a kid who could reach that level of play.
