Posted October 6, 200618 yr For those who have seen both, can you compare Caleb King and Allen's running style/ability to big a big time runner in college? I have seen video on King...HOLY S##T...That kid is gonna tear up college football. What's Allen like? Thanks.
October 6, 200618 yr i'm not an expert, but allen is definitely not something to be disappointed about. i used a few expletives when watching the video...go watch in the video thread i started.
October 6, 200618 yr i agree that landing allen is not a downgrade by any means but i feel that king has a little bit better RB traits like vision, balance and power for a guy his size.
October 6, 200618 yr russ i would agree with you on the power, maybe even break away speed, but allen has INCREDIBLE balance. watch that video one more time. the guy is like a tightrope walker!!
October 6, 200618 yr Thanks fellas! Allen is strong as heck! Kid refuses to go down and he has break away speed! I like him! However, that Donald highlight video was AMAZING! Must get that kid...OMG. That one tackle where he was in the middle of the field and closed on the back turning the corner was amazing! He blitzes and hits like a mack truck. Wish I hadn't seen that video because 1 of 2 things are gonna happen. 1) He verbals to Tenn. very bad 2) He makes me wait till the AA game to verbal to ND and I get an ulcer in the process. LOL Here's to Allen verballing this weekend like SS said in his thread!
October 6, 200618 yr point taken! Sorry to misquote ya. Here's to Allen verballing this weekend as SS said not to be shocked about if it were to possibly happen. lol Anyway you cut it, I like the kid.
October 6, 200618 yr I have sticky fingers today. I have another tid bit that I stole from a message board. again. Armando Allen did indeed leave this morning for South Bend.

October 8, 200618 yr I'm pretty sure that glue WAS NOT the reason his fingers were sticky! Thanks for the visual
October 9, 200618 yr credit to BG here, but they had VERY favorable comments on AA's response to his ND visit. It appears that we could have an announcement fairly soon. Could.
October 9, 200618 yr credit to BG here, but they had VERY favorable comments on AA's response to his ND visit. It appears that we could have an announcement fairly soon. Could. Also, credit to BG. TD, I haaaaad too post this here. And your right, before you said Blue and Gold is a very good ND site and you're right. Also guys, the post is from a staff memebr at B&G. later in the same thread it was noted that the " big time " commit wasn't necassarily Allen- not that it can't or couldn't be, but also not that it couldn't be someone else. I love Monday mornings like this!! I just spoke with a source very close to the Notre Dame football program. He tells me that Armando Allen had a great time during his visit. He told me that Armando was very open with him about how much he likes Notre Dame, and that some news could be coming soon ? Armando was excited about being on the Notre Dame campus. Armando spent the rest of the evening being shown around campus by George West and was taken from dorm to dorm to meet most of the Notre Dame players. This was a very positive visit and Armando hit it off w/ several of the Irish during the dorm visits. From what I am being told George West did a 1st rate recruiting job on Armando during his visit. There was a " big time " commit received by Notre Dame coaches yesterday. I am still waiting on 100 % verification. Go Irish
October 9, 200618 yr The commit could've been Harrison Smith, but either way it sure sounds like Allen will be Irish as well. Awesome news Jersey!!
October 9, 200618 yr The commit could've been Harrison Smith, but either way it sure sounds like Allen will be Irish as well. Awesome news Jersey!! Could very well be, but nothing against Smith, he will be a force at ND, I don't think it's him, I know he did came out and say that we lead now. Whoever it is we sure as hell won't complain, thats for sure.
October 9, 200618 yr They are probably not referring to Smith because they referred to this guy as a "shocker".
October 9, 200618 yr They are probably not referring to Smith because they referred to this guy as a "shocker". It's gotta be Armando Allen. Or could it be Griffen?
October 9, 200618 yr Out of the names, Griffen would be the real "shocker". Most of us believe that Allen and Smith are closer to being Irish then Griffen.
