**** LB Christopher Allen Commits to Alabama ****

visiting LSU this weekend, Bama next

I read where Bama only had 1 OV this weekend and Allen is coming the weekend where we have 11 other OV's. Thinking the staff asked him to move his OV so he could be there with other elite visitors.

I read on al.com where LSU coaches had a "long" in home visit with him. This worries me a little because I think he had cancelled his trip to LSU and now it's back on. However, getting the final visit should play in our favor

had a visit with pruett yesterday too. I agree with TiderJ that moving his visit makes sense to come when we have serveral uncommited guys, some from La coming that weekend to help recruit.

I could of course be wrong but most seem to think hes very solid to the tide.

I see Allen said he is still pretty firm after his visit to the corn dogs this past weekend . Maybe we get him back to being more solid this coming weekend. Hope he sticks but linebacker is certainly one position we can afford to miss out on a player or two.

Thinking he had to say "pretty firm" just after his LSWho OV. He had a comment about why Alabama and he said something like "they beat LSU every year and win national championships. That is very attractive". I feel real good about him signing.

I just read where he may flip to LSU.

LSU is hopeful, but Alabama feels confident at the moment.

His picture with the LSU jersey on at this point in time worries me a little.

I do also. If it was it was not a real good idea with him living in BR. If he sticks the corndogs will abuse him for this one.

Two days removed from his official visit to Alabama, and four-star linebacker and Alabama commit Christopher Allen knows where’s he’s going to school.


“It’s pretty much shut down,” Allen told 247Sports’ Andrew Ivins at the USA Football North American Championship on Wednesday. “I’m going to Alabama.”

Great to hear that's the case, he's a heck of a talent. Where ever the young man chose, just wanted the best for him, but I am glad he's rolling with us no pun intended. On a side note, I thought Coach O's reaction was a lil wierd ...

After the official visit to Tuscaloosa, Allen met with the LSU coaching staff to give them the news that he is sticking with his original commitment that he made in November.

"I told Coach O I'm probably going to go with Alabama," Allen said. "He was really sad. It made me kinda sad looking at his face. I really just wanted to tell him so they could go get whoever they needed to get."

Just seemed like Coach O should have just wished him well on the decision and left it at that. I could be reading to much into it but it seems like Coach O was trying to make a play on the young man's emotions, which isnt cool. Again, I could be wrong ...

That is excellent news especially since it seemed like this was trending in the other direction earlier today. 2-1-17 can't get here soon enough! RTR!
