Dominique Allen comments on change of heart
Big back Dominique Allen spoke with ESPN affiliate Web site TigerGumbo.com about his recent commitment switch from Tennessee to LSU.

"I knew I was going to LSU, I just went ahead and announced it," Allen said "I pulled coach Miles to the side and told him I was coming. I just want to go there, it was the decision I had to make. Any person wants to feel at home where they are going to go, and I feel at home at LSU."

"They were getting nervous because they didn't really have any other fullbacks looking at them," Allen said. "I told coach Miles on Sunday right before we left and got on the road. He was excited. He couldn't believe it. It was just something I needed to go ahead and do."

Kevin Minter:

“I do not pay attention to the recruiting rankings and stuff like that, but my brother does,” Minter responded. “He’s big into that recruiting stuff. I’m just ready to get there (LSU) and hopefully win a championship.”

Minter will be one of the few class of 2009 members enrolling in January. Minter claimed getting to Baton Rouge in the Spring was a sacrifice he was willing to make.

“I still intend on enrolling in January,” Minter confirmed. “I’ll think I should be able to go to my graduation, but I’m not too sure about my prom. That stuff really isn’t that big of a deal to me though. I’m just trying to get down there.”

Minter truly believes those sacrifices will play a vital role in him receiving early playing time.

“August, hopefully,”Minter replied when asked when he would like to begin playing for the Tigers. “I just have to continue to train hard and we’ll see what happens.

“Being able to play as a freshman means a lot to me,” Minter concluded. “I’m trying to get on the field as soon as possible. I just want to get down there to get into the playbook and to start working out with my team.”
