Oregon? :eek2: I certainly didn't see that one coming.
If Oregon is our main competition, I REALLY like our chances.

Re: ATH Keenan Allen Update (7/24)
The latest from Allen is that if he goes to Alabama he will play WR and now he is leaning towards playing WR in college. That should put an end to the debate of where Allen will play if he comes to Bama.

If that is true, then we are really about to be out of room at receiver. Even if Sims stays on the defensive side of the ball, Allen's commitment would give us four receivers in this class.The latest from Allen is that if he goes to Alabama he will play WR and now he is leaning towards playing WR in college.

Re: ATH Keenan Allen Update (7/24)
Those are direct quotes from him in the interview. It is true.

Last week, it was safety. This week, it's receiver. I'll check back in a week.The latest from Allen is that if he goes to Alabama he will play WR and now he is leaning towards playing WR in college. That should put an end to the debate of where Allen will play if he comes to Bama.
If I'm not mistaken I believe Keenan's most impressive camp performances have been at WR, at least that's what I seem to remember reading. I think that's where we'd start him out at, and if that's indeed the case our WR board is very exclusive as of now. Nice situation to be in if I do say so myself. :biggrin2:
Re: ATH Keenan Allen Update (7/24)
If that's the case, I would think we would only hold another spot at WR if we could land Kyle Prater.
Re: ATH Keenan Allen Update (7/24)
I think you could probably add Demarco Cobbs to that as well.
For the rest of you star-gazers out there, Keenan Allen turned in yet another dominating camp performance and seems to have strengthened his prospects for getting a fifth star on Rivals. (He's currently ranked as Rivals' No. 31 prospect in the country overall. Rivals usually ends up with around 30 5-stars.)
One Rivals analyst says he was one of the very best prospects overall at the Football University Top Gun Camp in Florida, making his "Hot 11" list for Thursday and Friday. Allen was apparently working at safety, which I still think is his best position.
I'm still waiting for the Tide staff to return my call about that, though. :wink:

Has anyone seen any film on Demarco Cobbs at WR? I've seen the film of him playing QB and I'm not that impressed. If anyone can fill me in on why this kid is so highly ranked and recruited, I'd really appreciate it.
I have seen that rumor to on the Oregon boards. I am starting to believe they are like the Barn. I feel we have a great chance at him still since he plans on visiting us for an official. Per ESPN yesterday.
Three officials lined up for Keenan Allen
ESPNU 150 athlete Keenan Allen knows of three official visit destinations according to affiliate Web site EerSports.com.
The nation's No. 90-rated overall prospect will take trips to Clemson, Alabama and Oregon for three of his allotted five officials.
Several other programs including North Carolina, Penn State, N.C. State, South Carolina, Wake Forest, West Virginia, Duke, Kentucky and Cal are also pursuing the No. 8-rated ATH.

I thought he was going to announce before HS season, but even if he does the fact he is visiting bodes very wel for us. Also if he is waiting on his decision now I really like our chances because his last visit was to Oregon and they seemed to get a lot of momentum. So we will see.

Oregon just seems an odd choice for a kid from North Carolina, who has favored Alabama for nearly a year. I hope the rumors are not true, but I wish him the best either way.
I thought the same thing.
A top rated football recruit from North Carolina committing to Oregon? :conf2: I'm really scratching my head over this one.
