SIAP: Scout

LSU is the last school to have Chris Allen on campus for a visit, and the Tigers, the in-state school led by Les Miles have held a steady lead in Allen's recruitment for a while.

That lead now belongs to someone else though.

"Alabama is my No. 1 school now," said Allen. "I was recently there for a visit and I liked everything. It was my first time visiting Alabama and I really liked the facilities, the coaches, and the environment.

"The environment there is the best any environment could be. It is about working hard, it is about winning, and it is a place I feel they could really develop me as a player. It is just an environment that has the feel of success there."

I think Dieter is a great prospect. My issue is who suffers because he comes here? How does this affect our future recruiting WRs?

Who loses playing time?

- Ridley can't.
- If we start using four wide it means OJ wasted his time coming back.
- Ardarius Stewart seems to be the coaches "guy" and he got a little better at the end of he season.

So is it Robert Foster? If so that sucks and it is a bad advertisement and a negative recruiting tool for us in future.

Again, I'll restate Dieter is good and I'd love to have him, but with this take there is going to be some give.

I will say I'd rather get Dieter than adding a RB transfer. That would have destroyed our chances at retaining Najee or Cam Akers for 2017.
