But people are calling this huge. Is it really that huge?

Here's why I think this is huge (beyond the simple fact that Allen is by all accounts a great prospect at an area of dire need for us):

Bama is the pace car. They are still the pace car in the SEC. A last second loss in the championship with a true Fr QB won't undo that. Saban plays to dominate, not just be respectable. One piece of that is to get every top-shelf recruit from LA he can. We are his main threat year-in and year-out. If we are going to compete with them every year, we need to keep the Allen-type players at home.

For us to flip Allen from Bama would indeed be huge.
