Not suprising move here by ND. Sapp told me a couple weeks ago he thought ND could make a move for Kyle Allen and go for the possible package deal with Mark Andrews

I'll take them Kyle Allen is a good prospect like him more than that kid from Canada.

Do want.

Best Quarterback in the country per scout.com

Los Angeles Nike Football Training Camp to performers: Offense

4. Kyle Allen, QB, Scottsdale (Ariz.) Desert Mountain – Allen won the quarterback MVP award on Sunday and he deserved it. The rising senior is so solid across the board with regard to arm strength, ball placement, timing and all the nuances that go into being a great quarterback. Maybe most importantly, Allen has developed physically and looks big and strong enough to really emerge as one of the nation’s top passers.

 

[irishff1014]

Nice to see hope they go after him hard.

Allen draws Irish interest

update on his recent ND interest

 

[GoldenToTheGrave]

Doesn't look like he has superstar athleticism but has a solid arm and a nice quick release. IMO the quick release is massively important in the spread, at least as important as arm strength.

 

[GoldenIsThyFame]

Offered

 

[STLDomer]

Coaches (one was Booker) were in to see him today along with Andrews

EDIT: the other coach was Martin, probably will be all over the place in the coming weeks having QB targets throw for him (hopefully Gorman for Cunningham)

 

[Kaneyoufeelit]

Offered

Love this. Hopefully this is part of a full court press on Andrews

 

[aubeirish]

Really like his film.

 

[clashmore_mike]

Irish Sports Daily Forums

Already trying to plan a visit once his spring practice finishes up in a couple weeks. Andrews might come along because he loves it at ND.

 

[Whiskeyjack]

Awesome. My favorite QB in this class.

I understand that the formula is a little more involved than just taking an average, but there is something seriously flawed with the 247 system when the composite ranking is lower than any of the individual rankings lol

As for Mr. Allen, make yourself at home! And feel free to bring your friend, Mr. Andrews

 

[IrishLax]

The article on ISD had a quote from him saying he might be ready to decide after he takes his visit to ND if he doesn't get any more offers he has interest for in addition to the ones he already has. If we can package him and Mark Andrews that would be one heck fo a pull.

 

[rtrn2glory]

is there anyone that hasn't offered that would change things if they were to offer?

 

[ND NYC]

his vid says grad date of december 2013 so assume he is going to be an EE wherever he ends up.

ps he didnt look to be 6'3" in his video. but no worries here-kid has great accuracy, throws a very catchable ball, good timing...and runs just enough to extend a play which is what BK wants--he doesnt want a run first pass second qb. sign him up!

 

[NDdomer2]

I thought Andrews wasn't a priority now with Weishar in the fold. Am I wrong in thinking that?

 

[pkt77242]

Yes. We still are going hard after Andrews.

 

[Rack Em]

Yes. We still are going hard after Andrews.

Correct. He's a talent that you don't let slip away unless we're absolutely full at WR or another prospect the staff likes better comes along.

Look at his ratings. We've all been noting how the staff hasn't pulled in a Michael Floyd type receiver since Kelly got here. This might be the guy. Honestly, I don't think he's as good as Floyd (because that guy could literally do it all - fade route, drag, crossing route, post, quick out, curl, and BLOCK LIKE A MF'er). But Andrews could be the next highly touted WR.

And jumping in now with Allen is huge. I know we talk about Redfield, Vanderdoes, etc. and the staff getting in late with them. But honestly I think that's pretty hard to do so I'm glad we've finally put our name in this sweepstakes. He'll be a good one.

LOVE the sound of this.

Rob Cassidy said that Andrews and Allen are more than teammates, they've been bestfriends since kindergarten.

247's analysts don't think they're high on the same schools. If they're a package deal and Allen really likes ND, that should give us a clear lead for both, no?

 

[GBdomer]

Allen top 3 if I had to guess is UCLA,ND,ASU
Andrews- ND,OSU,Oklahoma

they could very well end up at ND together. TJ said if Andrew's comes back it could be interesting.

Andrews Crystal Ball is not accurate

They aren't technically a package deal but being in the top group for both would obviously make them think
