Problems at Texas A&M
Second Scottsdale QB in last 4 years to go to a big Texas school and then to transfer.
Wonder if he's headed to ASSU.

Of the 12 coaches, Rush picked the one whose fans have the deepest passion, the longest memories, the greatest lung capacity and … did I mention deep passion?

Highly unlikely. If he goes anywhere in the PAC i think Cal is his best betChicat wrote:Second Scottsdale QB in last 4 years to go to a big Texas school and then to transfer.

Re: Kyle Allen transferring from A&M
So what that suppose to really mean that most of the top Arizona prospect don't pan out at a bigger school but to turn down an Arizona schools because their not better quality enough to attract.
Re: Kyle Allen transferring from A&M
My first instinct when I heard he was transferring was . . .Michigan

Re: Kyle Allen transferring from A&M
No, it does not mean that at all - unless you want to make sweeping generalization based on 2 data points. Brewer was pretty much a bust, but I am not sure I would classify Allen that way, certainly not yet. He played and started a lot his first 2 years, and had moments both good & bad - he just happens to see the writing on the wall with an exceptionally talented player a class behind him.cordera89 wrote:So what that suppose to really mean that most of the top Arizona prospect don't pan out at a bigger school but to turn down an Arizona schools because their not better quality enough to attract.
There have been a number of AZ kids that went out of state for college and ended up pretty high draft picks over the last several years. Not sure if your angle was "AZ HS talent does not pan out", but it's not accurate. Some highly rated kids just don't turn out as expected - no matter where they are from.

Re: Kyle Allen transferring from A&M
Allen has all the tools. A&M couldn't keep him upright and healthy as well as running an offense totally unsuited to his skills. He's athletic but rolling him out and run/pass option just isn't his deal.cordera89 wrote:So what that suppose to really mean that most of the top Arizona prospect don't pan out at a bigger school but to turn down an Arizona schools because their not better quality enough to attract.
Brewer got caught in a dumpster fire, but isn't close to the same type of prospect.
Would love to see him at Texas but I'm guessing 100% chance A&M blocks that.

Trevor Knight transferring too, but likely also blocked from Texas.
Feldman is saying OU for Allen. Weak.

Re: Kyle Allen transferring from A&M
Allen likely would have been the starter again next year. He isn't transferring because of another incoming QB. He is transferring because Sumlin has created an absolute shit show. Don't be surprised if this is just the start. The locker room is fractured, particularly on offense.Harvey Specter wrote:No, it does not mean that at all - unless you want to make sweeping generalization based on 2 data points.

Right or wrong, Murray is starting next year.

Allen would have started next year. Murray is playing baseball all spring and into the summer on a squad that should get to the CWS.

Re: Kyle Allen transferring from A&M
Correct on baseball. Incorrect on football. Murray has been promised some things. Fact. I have a pretty good guy on this. However, same guy says if said promise isn't reiterated, Murray may leave. As of now, Murray has been promised the start game 1 next year, and the A&M staff was open with Allen about it.Scummy Dick Douglas wrote:Allen would have started next year.

Re: Kyle Allen transferring from A&M
RR sure loves collecting QBs.
Re: Kyle Allen transferring from A&M
I doubt Arizona would have a shot at him but there's no harm in RichRod making the call. Assuming Solomon is healthy and goes into 2017 as the starter then it's Solomon, Dawkins, Tate, Modster, Werlinger. Allen would have to fight to break that rotation.

Unless he really doesnt fit into the system, he'd be the guy after Anu

Re: Kyle Allen transferring from A&M
Apparently he is a sit in the pocket pro style passer which is not RR's system, so maybe it's just a courtesy call.

Does not seem like a fit for us, and could raise eyebrows from Modster/ Tate. I just don't see that happening for either party.
If we start collecting QB's again I hope we can keep a few. All the highly rated transfers in we snagged never amounted to much, if anything.

Re: Kyle Allen transferring from A&M
Seriously. Jerrard Randall demoted to 3rd string. Connor Brewer ended up transferring out after transferring in. Jesse Scroggins got more action from running into the team bus door than he did on the field, and couldn't even beat out zero star BJ Denker.Harvey Specter wrote:All the highly rated transfers in we snagged never amounted to much, if anything.
Randall, Brewer and Scroggins all top rated QBs that transferred in and really didn't make an impact. Randall did have some great runs though.
Not even sure if Tom Savage the Rutgers transfer should be listed.

Wow. Murray is out too. Nothing like losing and causing a lockerroom divide by promising a kid a starting job only to have him bolt after 1 year.

Re: Kyle Allen transferring from A&M
No. The guy in the office next to mine has a son starting on their OL. I consider that pretty close to the program. It's not a big secret. It's been reported by Orangebloods, Texags, Gigem, etc. Allen was told he was competing for the back-up spot and everyone on the team knew about it. I'm not claiming I'm some inside reporter. I just happen to work with the dad of a player.Scummy Dick Douglas wrote:the real dill wrote:Wow. Murray is out too.

FWIW, Gigem is saying Christian Kirk and Speedy Noil may be gone too, but my buddy said that would be knews to him.

My son's team was at a passing league tournament in Flagstaff when Allen was playing for Desert Mountain. I asked him how he looked, and he
said he was overrated, that the big 6'5" WR Mark Andrews made him look better than he was. He's at OU now.
Guess they are getting the band back together.

He was offered, but read (maybe here?) that the UA offer was just to answer the question: Why didn't you offer AZ player Kyle Allen?splitsecond wrote:Didn't we offer Kyle Allen?
although there was no mutual interest due to different styles of QBs.
