the gamebreaker we've all been waiting for will finally arrive this january. this guy and donald were the two left on the board that i wanted most. they are so explosive and will make a huge impact at their position.

wow.

 

looks like we know who will be wearing #5 next yr

this is the gamebreaker that ND has never landed in recruiting before. i love how strong and powerfull his lower body is and once he hits the hole he can pickup 7-8 yards in no time. i can't wait to see CW use AA in the screen game, should be lots of fun to watch.

I was there in person to witness some of those highlights first hand last year. I won't be suprised if he ends up becoming the next Reggie Bush in college.

i've been saying that about the importance of the availability of #5 this whole time. takes one to know one. EE almost screwed me though.

 

 

TeamULove2Hate, thanks buddy, thats even more encouraging.

:shock: :shock: :shock:

 

Nice to see outsiders saying stuff like this about AA.

 

I don't think these new recruits can get to South Bend fast enough for me.

He looks identical to Reggie Bush, in that he hits the hole hard and once on the next level he's got great inside-outside cuts made at blistering speed.

 

It's not just the number folks, this kid could be a Bush Clone

Rocket (there's many more)

 

Let's not get carried away now danger.

I agree with Broke. The kid is great but he has nowhere near the speed of Rocket or Reggie Bush. Very quick. And he has really good speed. But not speed like the aforementioned two or even a guy like Percy Harvin.

After a period where Notre Dame seemed to lose Big Mo, it is back. Armando Allen (Allen Video from Sunshine Preps) verballed to Notre Dame today (Mike Frank had this first.) Allen is Notre Dame's biggest running back pick-up in years...

 

Did they just say, Allen is Notre Dame's biggest running back pick-up in years...

 

HUH!!!! did they not know that we got 5 STAR JA LAST YEAR!! these guys kill me.

 

anyway im soo happy to have AA! verified 4.31 speed is just nuts.

i kind of agree with the best RB pick up in years though despite how good Aldridge is.

its tough 555

 

we dont know how good JA is OR AA is, but to say AA is the best in years is silly imo.

 

i just feel like its a slap in JA's face. because we have only seen JA in garbage time for the most part. the article simply said "best running back in years" and trust me i hope they are right!!

 

i cant wait till next year with that crazy backfield.

yeah, no doubt. I do expect great things out of aldridge. But lets just say i think Darius has had a great career and i still think Allen brings more to the table than D Walk does. It's just something we haven't "landed" since Julius.

im with vagas and broke on this one

Agree! Armando will bring an option to the field not seen in awhile. But I am curious in seeing Munir in action too.

guys guys guys, just think of our running attack next year, not only do we have two backs, but three, darius is kind of inbetween the two, fights for yards and gets them, but you have JA who is power all the way, and then gamebreaker like AA, our running game is unstoppable next year, AA is enrolling early just to throw that our there, JC wont have to throw that much with our dominant running game next year, just imagine in 08, good luck trying to stop us, NC NC NC NC NC, period.

Are you guys nuts???? Not as fast as Harvin or Reggie Bush???? A verified 4.31 forty!!!!! As fast if not faster than Bush and Harvin! Thats NCAA 07 fast! Rocket was in the 4.2's but Allen has every bit if not more speed than Bush and Harvin. Dont undercut the kid! We just got a TRUE gamebreaker!

lets take a look back at reggie coming out of high school

now here's armando allen

bottom line i'd say is Armando Allen has great potential. you can't say he's better than bush was coming out of high school, but he has many of the same tools. their running styles are different as well. watch reggie bush's legs. he seems taller than he is when he runs and has a relaxed gait. then look at allen who has his legs pumping. there is no question that allen has breakaway speed. i think this is a kid we can all be excited about.
