SIGNED - RB Ajay Allen

[Savage Husker]

What is his height and weight?  Numbers seem to vary from 5-10 —- 170 LBs upto 6’  200 lbs.  significant difference imo.  
 

He looks very good on tape but his ratings are kinda low.  He did play in Class B (4a) out of 5 so that could some of it (size and class).  I really like his sharp decisive cuts and vision and reading defenders.  He runs hard with excellent balance as well.  He certainly looks good enough to compete for PT imo.  

His body frame from a previous tweet or article looks closer to the 200lb frame than 170. Kid looks thick.

Looks like Allen is headed elsewhere.  :cry

:dunno   What you hear?  And what could be better than a perfect 10?

It’s pretty telling that there are no follows by coaches or Nebraska players on his Twitter. Especially right after a visit.

Social media tells you a lot about what a kid thinks these days.

 

[huskerfan99]

Hmmm. Kid must play it close to the vest.

Frost visited last night.

And Rivals says we're the favorite after talking to him personally. Unclear where the "he's going elsewhere" comes from.

He's now following some of our coaches on Twitter....

The "he's going elsewhere" is my reverse psychology... I'm 2-for-2 so far

I really think he was hoping for an LSU  offer but it's looking more and more likely that he won’t get one. Just pray that Citizen chooses LSU because if not they may throw a last-minute offer at Allen.

Was your earlier posts a "gut feeling" you had or did you have info and sources that made you believe and then post what you did?  And since then, a few more meetings have occurred and perhaps for lack of offers he's coming here?

To answer your first question, I was basing it on what I saw on Twitter, and the fact that following his visit he was not following any of our coaches or current players, which was very telling. Living in Louisiana, I know many people and coaches who have spoken to him and I know for a fact he was hoping for an LSU offer. I guess without that option he's going for the next best thing.

Got it.  Thanks.

I’m seeing Mississippi State according to 247 Sports. Unless what I am looking at is outdated, MSU is the highly favorite.

Pretty sure that's outdated. I've heard he's narrowed it down to Nebraska and TCU.
