Moving so far away from his family and friends.

Thanks.

That one in particular is a red flag for me. I'm sure it's hard for a 17/18 yr old to move far away. Lots of kids do it. But lots can't. Homesickness --> Transfers always suck.

Hopefully he makes the right decision for him and sticks with it. In retrospect, moving away from home is a great way to grow as a person and learn more about yourself and others.

I would be more surprised if a young person of that age group wasn't nervous about moving that far away from home.

With them going after a few other slot receivers and other big time backs is he still a take?

Do you think Theo Howard's recruitment will affect Alloway at all? Do we have spots for both or do their skill sets overlap?

different players.....theo is completely a wr--in the mold of hunter jr...could play a variety of wr positions....alloway is strictly slot w/ a few touches as rb

fwiw---howard had said before when he decommitted from oregon that he didn't want to be away from the area he knows...so i wouldn't expect him to come to ND...i would give it less than 1% chance

Exactly Panda. Plus Alloway has more wiggle in his return game. More than Sanders too. Getting him and redshirting him would be good. Then you'd have two years between him and CJ.

"Things with Oregon are heating up," he said. "They've been hitting me up a lot on Twitter. They're going to come down and see me on their bye week. If Oregon offers that day, they'd be in my top three.

"Otherwise it's Notre Dame and UCLA in my top two."

He really likes his attention, fairly par for the course with Cali kids.

I mean for a kid with Alloway's skill set, Oregon has to be very appealing.

Now if he'll just pick ND for something else...

This guy, along with the Cali 5-star DE are visiting for Wake Forest, correct?

That game looked boring on the surface - but if we win this week, that game will be a riot. We'll be in the CFB playoff at that point and our fans will not have seen us in about a month. They'll be LIVE.

TIFWIW, per Adam Gorney's source its 85% ND leads currently. Has an OV scheduled to ASU but it doesn't sound like he's set on taking that trip necessarily. Expected to make a commitment in the next month.

All depends on if he wants to leave home. Similar to McKinley it sounds like. I just don't know where the room is for UCLA don't they already have two slot guys committed?

Heads or Tails?

Told Scout its 50/50 ND/UCLA. He arrives tonight and leaves Monday. He wants to see if ND "feels like home this weekend"

I have a good feeling about him committing to ND in the end. It seems like we have been recruiting him the hardest, hopefully he talks to all the Cali kids this weekend.

one of his high school coaches alloway trusts w/ the recruiting process told him to commit before leaving because we utilize his position so well and ucla isn't really recruiting him hard as they have 2 guys like him currently committed

“I think if I did choose to go to Notre Dame, I think I would be comfortable saying I could spend the next three or four years away from home,” said Alloway. “I’m sure I wouldn’t be comfortable as soon as I got there, but I’m sure it would be fine after I started getting involved with everything. It’s like with my family, especially my grandparents, they really want me to go away from home and start my own thing and become my own person. Their take on everything is that they want me to do what I want and they’ll support me, but they definitely think it would be best to go away from home and go start my own thing in another state.”

“BK pretty much is saying that if I did choose Notre Dame, I would play next year,” said Alloway. “The opportunity would be there. He sees me playing and having a key role next year and having a key role in the offense. Other than that, he just broke down the options between Notre Dame and UCLA. He didn’t say anything bad about UCLA, but he broke down the differences between both schools and compared the two.”

I love that our coaches take the high road and believe in their product so much that they don't have to trash other programs or coaches to try and set themselves apart. This kid would be a nice get.

I haven't followed his recruitment much but does this board want him? I remember earlier in the year people wanted to pass on him. How is everyone feeling about his possible commitment now?

i'd rather stovall for his RB abilities

to be honest the slot position in this offense is so irrelevant i dont really care who ND signs to play there
