SIGNED WR Taariq Allen*

[ADS]

Welcome to the family Mr. Allen, and we might be done with WR's.

How many spots do we have open for a WR and also who is filling them besides TA? Thanks

1-2 spots from what I have heard, and Daniel Davie will play WR.

You sure about that? I've heard they want Davie at safety.

Since Gilmore has been talking to him the most, I would think the staff wants him at WR.

Confirmed by John Talman in the RSS. He is :bigredn:

Big Red Report lists Allen as N

We can never manage to get any "big name recievers" here, but what do you do. Maybe we should get someone other than gilmore.

Congrats though

At the risk of sounding cliche when it comes to "star gazing" since there is always an exception that proves the rule, but it should be noted that a certain WR from Oklahoma State was only a 5.6 :star :star :star out of high school. Prince Amukamara himself would probably scream blasphemy at that ranking.

I think they take Patrick Onwasour if he wants N. He's too good not to take... He's one of those big time playmakers that would be great on the field with Enunwa and Baptiste. So I think the staff takes 1 more in Onwasour if he wants N but that's it! Whether Davie plays safety or WR will depend on whether Lyons and Jackson want N. If both of them want N then Davie plas WR, if neither want N I think we see Davie play DB. Where he goes is gonna depend on how te recruitment of the other guys plays out.

Jackson is a CB, but maybe Davie does play defense but I think hes going to be a wideout when all said and done.

Taariq needs to hit the training table as soon as he gets here.

I still want Patrick in this class. Personally he is my #1 and having him and Taariq would fit perfectly. Add in Daniel Davie who will be playing WR (at least in the beginning) and we finished the WR with everything we need.....speed, stretch the field, and gooood hands.

Taariq needs to hit the training table as soon as he gets here.

Agreed...But If he can catch and hang on to the ball we are half way there. Welcome Taariq :cowbell:

He is now but Bo is notorious for taking guys who played CB or S in high school and throwing them into a DB category and switch them back in forth in college... Look at Gomes, he was a CB then played some safety and now plays some LB, Bo cross trains all his DB's to play and understand all of the 6 Spots on the field. So yes Charles Jackson is projected as a CB but Bo will throw him in the mix and play him at the position where he works best in the system.

True, but with Aaryn Bouzos and Damion Stafford already on board at the S position I see Tevin and (if we get) charles at corner to be another prince/fonzie like tandom. And with Nebraska still in play with Wayne Lyons that would be a 3rd safety, IF he decides to come here.

According to BigWillie the staff is looking to put Bouzos at CB instead.
