It was in between his sophomore and junior high school seasons when Kaleb Banks started working out with Fayette County High School in Fayetteville, Georgia. Banks had previously played for Spalding High School in Griffin, Georgia, but transferred to Fayette County High School. One time, during a workout with Fayette County in between his sophomore and junior high school seasons, Banks set a screen and rolled to the basket. The ball was tossed up, to which Banks caught it and dunked it with two hands.
“So then I was like ‘oh yeah, this kid could be something special,’” said Andre Flynn, Fayette County High School head coach.
