What appeared to be a sure thing has gone all topsy-turvey. Noahkai Banks, born in Hawaii, raised in Germany, and played for US Youth teams has come out recently and stated that he's keeping options open and doesn't want to make a rash decision. Will Poch pursue Banks despite stating he only wants players who are 100% behind the team? Will we lose Banks to Germany, just like we did with Brown?

Either way, this is the way of the Dual Nat. Player torn between countries and cultures, though harboring a favorite between the two (human nature). Only thing we can do is be more persuasive than the other... and hope.
