This is a podcast from "Locked on Zags". The Tavion Banks history segment is at the very beginning and doesn't take long. Thanks to "LOZ".
If Tavion Banks returns in 2026-27, we would have 1 Open Roster Spot (14 players are officially signed)
- Thread starter Franisdaman
- Start date
Will we ever know why he didn't come back or maybe why Ben didn't want him back?
Just my opinion, but I think time just took it's toll. Had the decision to give players that eligibility occurred much earlier, then players like TB could have returned before the roster had greatly constructed.
I think Ben is building for the future. He has younger and taller players at that position shooters that need to play.
Edit: Manyawu will play the four where Banks played a fair bit last year.
As of a week or 2 ago LSU had a roster of 4 people. He would definitely get playing time! Lol.
Checked on TB late last night and discovered Dasonte Bowen is at Penn State.
He may need to go west and find a school that starts later in September. Or sign with a team in Europe.
I could’ve sworn I read article last month that Gonzaga was a real possibility.

It is/was. Few is going international as always, but here's a tidbit. Few picked up Xavian Lee from Florida in the Portal. If TB was somehow picked up, you'd have two players who were opposed to each other in the tourney, playing together
They played against each other in one game lol that wouldn't matter.
I'm going to throw this out here just for the he ll of it. Teams vet players very well. Could Banks' run-in with the law be a sticking point? Just curious.
Just looked at Miss St. roster and they have 15 players listed. LSU has only 4 players listed. Gonzaga has 4 listed, and are waiting on eligibility for a few (no pun intended) of their transfers. Oklahoma has 14 players listed. Based on the numbers, he probably has the best shot with the Zags or the Tigers. Maybe a shot with the Zags? I don't know, but we'll have to wait and see how much more this eligibility BS shapes up.
Surprisingly, from what I've seen, there are others who haven't been signed or are in "limbo" right now due to eligibility. I've been checking rosters from the schools on TB's list and there are still several openings, especially with the Zags.
Found this article from a month ago, but based on what's been reported on this thread, I'd have to give the edge to LSU. They needed the most players.

will be interesting to see where all these lawsuits end up
I don't have X, and I haven't used FB in many years. Could you check his social media accounts to see if he's thrown out an update? TIA.
Here it is, October 2nd, and still no word on what the heck is going on with TB.
I think Ben thought the chances of him getting another year were slim and he had to move on & complete the roster....JMO....
