Alabama and Florida are currently in a battle for ESPN 150 defensive end DeMarcus Walker, and it looks like it may come down to the Crimson Tide and the Gators for Ashburn, Va., defensive end/linebacker Jonathan Allen as well. Sources say Allen was close to committing to Florida after the spring game, but he made it clear that he wanted to visit Alabama before making any decision. He plans to make that trip to Tuscaloosa in late May or early June and hopes to have a decision made soon after. At 6-foot-3, 225 pounds, the UA coaching staff likes Allen as a Jack linebacker, the same position Florida is recruiting him to play. Last week, he talked with both staffs, which included a skype session with Saban.

Allen grew up a Bama fan but he had Bama and Florida pretty much even before he even visited UF so it wouldn't surprise me if he almost commited following his visit

Talked to some good sources this morning on Tim Williams and Kendell Beckwith and the consensus was LSU/Bama battle for both.


Also Artie Burns named a top (final) 5 and we aren't in it, clear that he used Bama to get exposure SMH, interview was funny though in the article b/c FSU writer clearly didn't believe him from the angle he used and amount of times he listed that he decommited from Bama

And you should consider a lobotomy because BuccWild is occupying a lot of real estate in your head. This about the 4th post in a few days that you have made about him.

Artie Burns on his top 5 schools (sorry to post this just found it interesting how some kids use programs):

quote:

“Florida State, Miami, LSU, Louisville and USC are standing out right now,” Burns mentioned. “I want to visit all of them and see where I am the most comfortable. I’ll make a final decision after our football season and that will be my final decision. I won’t me (make?) a decision and then decommit again.”



GL keeping him to whoever he chooses

Artie Burns didn't need to commit to Bama to get exposure.

Agreed so if he has/had NO interest like it is clear now then WTF??

Also did you ever hear about Johnathan Allen being close to commiting to UF after his official buddy?

Allen is going to commit to Bama on his trip. He was "close" to committing, but there was no way the kid was going to pop anywhere until he has seen Bama. It's coming later this month, and he will commit. The kid really loves UF, but UF is working against all things Bama when this kid was growing up

On the Burns situation, he probably committed early to Bama, and then thought about playing away from home. Tuscaloosa is pretty far from Miami. Rarely do kids from MNW pan out anyways, so IMO Bama isn't missing out on much.

If Bama was too far from home, youd have to think fsu is as well. Its only 3 hours closer. At least at bama there is a major airport close by.
