Banks is committed to Notre Dame, and on Friday, it was easy to see why the Fighting Irish offered him. The trifecta of Banks’ speed, ability to play with both hands, and precise shooting made him impossible to stop. The hat trick he posted against St. Paul’s was a perfect display of his versatility and skills. On the first goal, he initiated from top left, used a screen to gain separation, and then ripped a lefty sidearm from 15 yards out into the top corner. On his second goal, Banks dodged up the hash from GLE, again used a screen to gain shooting space, and then fired a right-handed jump shot into the net. His third goal came after Banks picked up a GB near midfield, raced down the left sideline, dipped underneath a defender, raced to the middle of the field, and then put the ball in the back of the net as he dove across the crease.  

Everything Banks does is fast: his first step, his straight-line speed, his shot, and his ability to make decisions. He plays with a lot of confidence, and for good reason. The Delaware native was outstanding at both Juniors Open and Great 8, where he put his quicks on display and had little trouble winning his matchup. Banks frequently used deception and hesitation moves, always getting to his spots and finishing at a high rate, posting three goals in a game on Sunday at Brunswick.
