Drew Allen

[SWC75]

FWIW, Drew Allen was rated a 85 in last years NCAA 13 video game. According to that game, he will be one of the best QBs Syracuse has ever had!

I have to wonder why he would prefer to compete for the open spot at Syracuse rather than the open spot at Oklahoma.

Who wants to bet that he is under 80 overall in the next game?

It wasn't an open competition Stoops told him he wasn't in consideration for the starting spot. He's going with the younger guys, probably Blake Bell.

He will be, Syracuse is always underrated in NCAA games, that is a product of never being on national broadcasts

Should we be concerned about what that might say about him?

I think I read something about a change in offensive strategy and Allen not fitting into that change.

I thought the rationale was that they didn't see themselves as competing for a National title this year, but they feel next year they could do so. They didn't want to risk that with an inexperiencd QB, so give the young guy a year to start, and learn on the job, and next year a seasoned vet can start for them in a year to compete for it all.

Thus the reason to get a two year starter out there, rather than go back to back years with QBs that for all intents and purposes have no NCAA experience

That makes total sense too.

I wish we had options like that.

Here is the strong arm.

Am I the only one who things he looks like a Brunette version of Nassib?

Not sure...but one of you Texans need to go over and do a little surveillance. Or at least a drone fly over.

Where is that at?

What separated Ryan from most other college QB's was his ability to get his team into the correct play at the line of scrimmage. He seemed to make the right decision most of the time.

If Drew can come close to matching Ryan's cerebral abilities, we've found a gem.

EDIT: I know it's not the "end all" but Drew is far more athletic than Ryan which might come in handy early in the year as we acclimate two new OL on the right side.

 

[CuseLegacy]

Where is that at?

Just guessing..Alamo Heights HS, San Antonio where he played. Plus their colors are blue and the goal post has blue on the bottom.

 

[Orangello]

Where is that at?

Texan Mark's back yard. He's on it.

...I'll drive by this weekend and see if the picture fits.

Here is a link to the HS stadium he played at. Alamo Heights is a 4A school (medium-large)

I noticed that Hunt's highlights seemed to be photographed from a higher level than Allan's. The difference between Texas HS football and up here.

And he went to the same high school as SU2NASA (srsly)

Because he doesn't want to face those tough Big Ten defenses.

It's worth everything. Just ask the Kaiser.

Nassib was an 83 soooo... Allen > Nassib? We could only hope to be that lucky.

Drew starts from day one, just like bees said about g-mac in 2002!!!!

I can believe that considering the recruitment of AJ Long and the rise of Terry Hunt.ASs a defensive coach Scott realizes the difficulty of defedening against the dual threat QB.

Would like to see Allen's first season end the way GMac's did...
