hey guys, Cal Bears fan here, been creeping on this board for a while.

just wanted to see what's your feelings on the chances of landing Kyle Allen? i'd hate to see him end up at fUCLA and Allen's decision is likely going to shake up the QB recruiting landscape, including for Cal...

Welcome to IE!

I can't speak for everyone but I think "cautiously optimistic" would explain where I stand with Allen.

If he had to commit tommorow, would def be UCLA but he's visiting ND and OSU this June and I think he'll end up at which other visit is better of those two

thank you!

great to hear. say ND doesn't pick up Allen--any other qb's out west you guys want as a 2ndary choice?

there is concern (well...for the few Cal fans that actually follow closely) that Allen's decision will affect Novato QB Manny Wilkin's recruitment--and he's one of the few QBs our new coach Sonny Dykes likes and is recruiting...

thanks for the responses!

#5 QB nationally according to 247 Composite. Our top QB target. Would be a huge pickup; arguably the most important recruit in the 2014 class now that Golson is gone.

IMO, No knock on our upcoming starting QB, but he reminds me of Tommy, but moves and throws a lot better, (based on the film on page 1).

I feel compelled to question that statement as well. Whether he ends up be a better college player is to be determined but at the same point in Tommys career they are nothing a like. All scouts agree Allen has a very live arm and can make all the throws. Tommy is very limited outside the numbers and down the field. Also Allen isnt the athlete Golson is but moves extremely well in and outside the pocket and Tommy is very stationary.

You can still move a lot better than Tommy and still be slow. You can still throw a better pass than Tommy, by being more accurate, but still not have a strong arm.

It's funny even when you put "IMO" people still question the source of your statements.

So your opinion was supposed to be not questioned or commented on? They have more differences than similarities, they're white, have buzzcuts and are pro style, about as far as it goes in comparisons.

He's not our #1 QB target and one of the best QB's in the country because he has a weak arm and is slow. Also it's pretty clear that he throws very well rolling out of the pocket which is important, not his 40 time.

Hmmm? Opinions have sources, ie., the information you are basing your opinion on.

If you have a belief based on nothing at all, I am not sure that even rises to the level of opinion.

So you're allowed to have an opinion but not the rest of us? Alright bro

In terms of comparisons, his coach compared him to AJ McCarron
