Word is that we might visit Cal and Clemson. Lets hope he stays away from Cal because I could see us losing McCain, Scales, and King to Cal.

Man, it sure would be disappointing if Cal ends up with these guys.

If it's any consolation, Allen has a bad weight room work ethic and his skills very well might not translate over to college ball. Key word being might.

Stranger things have happened, but I don't see us losing 3 recruits like that at the last minute.

I wouldn't exactly be a happy camper either, but I'm just trying to give this news some silver lining.

I'm sorry but that is kinda like a piece of the sky falling if it were to happen...The whole sky would still be nice and intact but that's for a sure a piece of it

I was told that its because of his brother transfering somewhere and there just looking around with as a family to help his brother out. Not as worried now Beacuse they want him to stay close to home and Clemson is seeming like there first to get the visit.

So the rating services that have him as high as #2 in the nation are that wrong?

I'm saying it's possible. Five stars don't pan out all the time. But he very well could become a great safety. He just needs to change his attitude towards weightlifting.

Dude, I'm sorry but it was hard enough translating your first post. Word is you have no proof or source for what you say. But speculation is always appreciated on this board and if you're right I'm glad I heard about it now instead of being crushed by it on signing day.

If Allen goes to Cal and we loose out on the NC group that definitely sucks but if Tray Dub is right (and he usually is) maybe it's for the better. Hopefully that attitude is something coach Radcliffe could easily take care of.

Not sure what was confusing about my first post but my bad. My source is someone who's been on teams with him. He's got a ridiculous amount of talent but does not like putting in work in the weight room. Take it for what its worth. It's not speculation but I understand you being skeptical.

And I certainly don't want the whole NC group to go elsewhere. In fact I'd love to have Allen along with the rest of them. I'm just trying to put some silver lining on possibly having Allen go to a Pac 10 school.

I think he was talking about the original post
