LeQuint Allen to NFL Draft

[orangepassion]

As I posted elsewhere, when I think of Lequint, I'll always think of a good back who turned into Godzilla in the Red Zone.

Admittedly I don't watch a ton of cfb outside Syracuse games but watching the rbs in the playoff games the past few days, I don't think anyone runs harder. That's his best quality by far. Field vision is not elite but he is something special in a high leverage situation.

By comparison that Skattebo guy on ASU that the announcers were fellating yesterday sucks. Don't get the hype at all. He's getting a ton of draft talk and all he's got going for him is that his blockhead doesn't seem to process pain. Similar toughness but slower and even worse vision.

Yeah, RB draft status does not improve much after a good year let alone following back to back 1000 yard rushing seasons. Tucker did not benefit from coming back; Henderson at OSU has not benefited. It just adds mileage. LQA has elite pass catching skills and is tough between the tackles. I think LQA and Skattebo from ASU both have the skill set the NFL is looking for. No sense is rolling the dice in college when the NFL was always the goal

I recommend drafting Skattebo in your fantasy league. He’s the next Mike Alstott and will steal goal line TD’s. Late round stash.

…..

I dont see how Fran realizes his goals for SU if we cannot hold onto a player like LQA in this scenario.

Eh, this is a bit of a stretch.
Fran also wants to send players to the NFL.

And yet Skattebo had 1711 rushing yards with a 5.8 yd per carry average, 605 receiving yards and 24 total touchdowns.

He looked awfully good to me yesterday. Fun player to watch.

Some crazy emotional takes in here.

Interesting site which shows what dudes are earning.

Bucky Irving is already making more money than Sean Tucker. He was a 4th rd pick. That said Tucker is making some decent cabbage - just not guaranteed..

And if you look at how they are treated, Bucky & White are getting the lions share of the opportunities. They take you more seriously if they owe you money.

Look at the guaranteed money. Over the course of a 5 year career, you're leaving lots of cabbage on the table by going the UFA path.

San Fran would be a great landing spot or KC as a third down g

Makes me want to hurl, but he seems like a perfect KC Chef.

 

[Cusefan69]

He quit on this team.

 

[wiseman3]

Incredible career here and incredible season. I really wish he was coming back. Unfortunately I don't think he has the speed for the NFL long term, but hopefully he can stick as a 3rd down guy/depth piece in the right situation

 

[kcsu]

Amazing player. So many clutch plays. Single handily willed himself to some incredible runs.
Leader.
Whichever team gives him a chance is going to be very glad they dud.

Makes me wonder about ASU's SOS. They played one ranked team all year before yesterday.

The guy clearly gets a ton of touches. We saw that yesterday. Best move I saw him make yesterday was getting supplexed into the end zone by his own lineman. He's not the next Mike Alstott. I'm ready to die on that hill.

You miss the 62 yard reception that put them back into the game?

I did miss some of the fourth but I saw the highlight. I stick with my initial assessment. Dude is a goon.

Does he suck or is he just not the next Mike Alstott?

Your initial point was your best…you don’t watch much college football.

Wow, Bucky is 5’0” but 195 lbs. He’s a little tank! Muggsy Bogues of the NFL.

Really gets lost behind his line. D can’t find him anywhere

He ran for like 150. Had 60
Plus receiving and threw a 50 yard td…but Mike alstott

Yeah stick to raking leaves

 

[CuseBlood44]

No, has nothing to do with it.

They’re buddies and both warriors. Similar to Barron and Wax, Cinco and Duce, Bellamy and Gould, etc. I view LQA and Kyle as a package deal. Hard for me to imagine McCord choosing another year at Cuse over NFL with lots of veterans leaving on both sides of the ball

Ridiculous. Skattebo made some incredible cuts and had patience. I watched that game, you can’t lie to me.

Idk how we are replacing all these guys leaving

A take so hot it could melt the sun.

143 rushing yards and 2 rushing TD
99 receiving yards
42 passing yards and 1 passing TD
Offensive MVP in a losing effort
