Let's go around the room...

is there any school he HASN'T committed to yet?

 

[TheCusian]

So even though we have a pic of him signing the papers with us, it looks like anything can happen.

Guarded optimism.

Only matters where he signs.

He's been at JUCO for three years, but sat one year out.

 

[Alsacs]

Moves like this are why I freaking love Dino Babers.
This guy does nothing but give you confidence he knows what he is doing.
It will take another year or two but man Dino gets it.

 

[UnknownOrange]

Well HCDB retweeted his tweet so... have to assume he's orange lol

All depending if they make the grade and get their degree. We now have Allen, Shaq, Berry and Mykelti as juco transfers who have 3 years to play. Very impressive haul.

 

[SUforme]

Yessss!!!

I thought Allen was 2?

 

[money3189]

I thought Allen was 2?

I saw he redshirted a year. I assumed he only played one year. He actually spent 3 years in Juco land. Good catch OrangeDB

 

[UnknownOrange]

Love it either way! Position of needs being addressed all off season

 

[tep624]

He played at Long Beach City the 14-15 season, RS'ed the 15-16 season, and then played the 16-17 season there. Definitely 2 to play 2.

Committed to Arizona during his RS season, then decommitted, only to recommit and sign. Then didn't qualify so he went back to Long Beach CC, played another season, committed to USF and now he's committed here. Not sure what happened with USF.

Hopefully he will be better than Zian Jones and Deon Goggins. All three are from LA area. Jones and Goggins contributed but didn't blow up like I hoped they would. Josh Allen - All ACC. One can wish.

 

[OttoinGrotto]

He has a pretty boring name.

Plus, I never trust a man with two first names.

That said, welcome Mr. Allen, and may you be dominant.

He goes by JJ Allen. Not as interesting as GG Allin, but close.

Josh, Welcome to the Syracuse Football family! Go Orange!

[TexanMark]

Schedule works out pretty well for us...we have 3 games to start the season favored...he can take September getting acclimated to the defense.

Assuming he predicts academically...he should make a serious run to starting by LSU.

 

[tep624]

Considering what happened with James Pierre last year, we should probably temper our expectations with Allen. Nice looking prospect but if he never makes it, doesn't mean much.

Did Pierre surface anywhere? JUCO? Prep School?
