He still wants to visit though, Sapp says, "for the WVU game." must mean WFU?

Maybe he means our BCS game against West Virginia.

Emcee77 · Aug 30, 2012

we are not at all out of it for Allen. per Tunnel Vision, a source thinks that if he makes it to ND for an official we could jump into the top two.

Bogtrotter07 · Aug 30, 2012

If the other one is Stanford, we know we are in the ball park, and up at bat.

WR Devon Allen lands Texas offer - Football Recruiting - West Region Blog - ESPN

Texas is getting serious about its recruitment of two-sport star Devon Allen (Phoenix/Brophy Prep).

The three-star receiver prospect told HornsNation he officially received an offer from Texas and receivers coach Darrell Wyatt nearly two weeks ago.

That’s a significant move for the Longhorns, who already have commitments from two touted 2013 receivers and continue to chase No. 1 receiver and former UT pledge Ricky Seals-Jones.

Supposed to officially visit Arkansas this weekend for ALA. The week after Hogs came in second to ULM.

GBdomer · Sep 10, 2012

We are out of this race. Stanford and Texas lead in that order. Arkansas 3rd.

rtrn2glory · Sep 10, 2012

personally i don't believe we're out of it til he decides to elimiate us from a visit...stanford is very up and down this year as well, which could end up being their downfall

TheChosen1 · Sep 14, 2012

Did he set an OV? Hearing he may have

GoldenIsThyFame · Sep 18, 2012

Set OV for Stanford game.

UCLA is his new leader.

I tnhink with Arkansas being a tire fire and how hard it is to get into Stanford might have something to do with it. I will honestly be really suprised if we get him. Glad to see him visting though. I can't be right all the time lol.

Sounds like the bolded is the big one. He canceled an OV to Arkansas based on schedule and reduced interest, and he scheduled one to ND instead.

AdmiralBackhand · Sep 18, 2012

So, maybe we are 5th on his list? UCLA, Stanford, Oklahoma, ? , and ND?

TheChosen1 · Sep 30, 2012

Devon Allen cancels Texas visit, down to 3 - Football Recruiting - West Region Blog - ESPN

It’s no surprise, then, that Allen is down to three schools and all three are in the Pac-12. The two-sport star said he’s now considering UCLA, Stanford and Arizona State.

rtrn2glory · Sep 30, 2012

not surprised here...only WR we take left on the board is LT as long as we hold onto the other four on our board.

Sherm Sticky · Oct 1, 2012

Yep, Texas and ND didn't have room for him.

clashmore_mike · Oct 1, 2012

Per ISD, won't visit for Stanford game. Said Notre Dame has "closed recruiting."

To specify, he said they have all their commits at the position. Not recruiting as a whole.

Well yeah but that was his quote.

Emcee77 · Oct 1, 2012

Wow. Sad but what can you say, we filled up quick this year.

Would you guys trade him for any of the four guys we got? I don't think I would. Allen's skill set is somewhat duplicative of Chris Brown's. I like Onwualu's rugged athleticism and ability to break tackles, Fuller's versatility (to play CB), Robinson's imposing size, and Hunter's playmaking ability.

Now we gotta get a burner in the next class though.

johnnykillz · Oct 1, 2012

Big huge bummer.

He was at the top of my Triity lost.

I would trade any of the four guys we got right now for Devon Allen. This kid is not only a superior athlete with elite speed, he also is a winner and a great kid with the right attitude and his head on straight. He would be ready to play from day one and would immediately be the fastest player on the roster hands down from the moment he steps on campus. He's a strong powerful runner too, so this is a huge miss unfortunately.

jason_h537 · Oct 2, 2012

I really liked Allen as well but read that he wasn't showing much interest outside of lip service to ND. With only 2-3 spots left, I understand why he is out.

As you said, it is not a miss, but a choice. One in the hand is worth two in the bush, and I happen to think our stable of committed WRs are very talented and complement each other extremely well. Not to mention that all seem to be firmly committed to ND for the right reasons, and seem to be genuinely good kids. I'll gladly keep the status quo in regards to our recruits rather than pine over a kid that might not have chosen ND in the first place, especially since our staff obviously feels comfortable doing so.

No, give me Hunter any day over Allen. Give me Fuller and James's versatility to play defense and offense any day over Allen. SMH

Just to clarify, I think IrishMoore1 coaches Allen. So forgive him his bias.
