Sorry but ima have to call bull on that. Orgeron took over as coach 6 months before he ever committed so Cam Cameron calling him a wimp when he wasnt on staff any longer had no bearing on his commitment to Bama

Well you can believe what you want, I’m just telling you that’s what he told me. I even told him that Cameron was gone but he said it didn’t matter. Also, why the hell would I make up a fake story about a player that committed over two years ago?

I remember him giving a weird interview. The guy doing the interview asked him about the phone call to Coach O when he told him he was committed and sticking with Bama. Allen said Coach O was sad and while talking about it Allen was laughing and smirking the entire time.

Some folks were saying he may have been a better prospect than Dylan Moses. Wonder what the story is here. Maybe he just was ‘t That great a talent to begin with.

Bama had a little better depth at OLB, so he didn't get as much PT as a freshman and then he tore his ACL last summer so he missed the entire year.

Former southern Lab & LSU recruit Christopher Allen is now looking to transfer from Bama.

What? So he wasn't good enough to start at bama and now who wants him at LSU? Taking bama's rejects isn't how we will surpass them.

Kamara got kicked out of Bama for telling recruits Saban was a dick. And then he became a Saints legend.

Love the dude.

So the only time players leave schools is when they suck? or aren't good enough?

Another false assumption. Players who transfer, aren't rejected. Most of the time, they "reject" the school. Reject is still an incorrect way to term it.

I know he isn't actually transferring but this is a horrible take on transfers.

Think it is fake news. At least on a bama site it says it was posted on twitter as a test to show how the transfer portal works. They included real names but it is an example. I got excited when I read this and then I hear it isnt real. Hope I am wrong, would love to get him



That's ridiculous. Why wouldn't they use a sample image of someone who's actually on the portal? Seems like they are trying to get exposure for the portal by creating a "controversy".

It's beyond ridiculous. Shannon Terry has since apologized. He tried to justify it by saying he's been posting teaser images using real names for a while now, but this is the first time there was any controversy.

If he's fully recovered or expecting to fully recover from his injury, I hope Ed gives him a serious look.

I wanted him at LSU bad back in the day, and we don't have the depth at OLB that we do at ILB.

Last cycle, depending on how you classify Dantrieze Scott, we took 2-3 OLB's. We took Cherry and Moore. Moore is about to be red-shirted as a junior, and I assume this is so that we can beef him up and move him to DE.

This cycle, as of now and with Brooks being a safety, we have taken 0 OLB's. I'm hoping Lee will be that for us, but I'm not sure whether that'll happen or not.

I have very high hopes for Cherry, but we could really use more OLB's ASAP.

My favorite part of this thread is that the OP hasn't changed the title, even after the edit.
