Banks is in no hurry to serve up a front-runner in his recruitment, but says the Buckeyes certainly elevated their chances after providing red carpet treatment over the weekend.
"He (Urban Meyer) is the coolest legend ever," Banks said. "They really like me and want me, so I'm interested and they're higher on the board as of right now.
"The visit went good. I don't have a No. 1 (school) yet, but they're up there."
Banks says there was no beating around the bush when kicking back and having that face time with coach Urban Meyer's staff.
"The coaching staff honestly tells you how it is there," Banks said. "They are very blunt and very genuine at the same time if that makes sense."
