Indianapolis (Ind.) Ben Davis safety Antonio Allen became arguably the hardest-hitting safety in the country by slamming into trees as a youngster.

Is there a possibility much like Delano Hill, that Allen could commit to Iowa on his visit.

The resemblence to Bob Sanders is almost uncanny on his film. Iowa's coaches have too feel good about their chances since he has been on their radar for so long.

Definitely. It's funny, because when I ask some of the other recruits in the Indy area whether they know Antonio Allen, they'll say, "you mean Woo-Woo?" Like they're surprised that someone would refer to him by another name.
And the other nickname some of his teammates/friends call him is "Baby Bob Sanders."

Wow, just watched his highlight video for the first time, this kid is not afraid to hit!!What's the knock on him? I know 88 is a good rating but he looks like a 4-star guy to me, is it his size? His closing speed, vision, and agressiveness all look outstanding!

Our analysts aren't sure what he can do in coverage. He's not asked to cover much. But yeah, he can hit!

Great stuff Steve. Really enjoyed the article. Is the feeling that he is a slight Iowa lean at this point? I'd love to have him!

Are you sure that's because hes not asked to cover, or are WR's too scared to run downfield with him? Hmmmm?
This kid is about as a "must get" as we can have this year. Everyone after him is icing on the cake as far as I can see.

I'm having flashbacks of seeing an unknown recruit named Demond all over again......wow, I really hope we land this kid.
Unlike Bob, Allen appears to be getting the notoriety (and offers) though.

Iowa has had a chance to recruit Allen the longest and Coach Johnson has done a nice job of courting him. Allen wouldn't admit to a leader, but I think it's safe to assume the Hawkeyes are near the top of his list.

Just saw this. Looks like a great prospect.
Steve, any chance Allen makes it back to East Lansing for the spring game on the 28th?
Also, I just saw that Allen and Elijah Daniels made the trip to Ole Miss together. Are these two friends? Are they going through the recruiting process together at all? If so, does MSU being the only commonality in both of their top 3's make a difference?
Sorry for the 20 questions, just caught my eye so I figured I'd ask.

Allen didn't mention the MSU spring game as a possibility. Him and Daniel are friends but are not a package deal. Most of the top prospects in the Indianapolis area are friends.

Congrats - great get for Ole Miss. I'll be surprised if he isn't playing on Sunday afternoons in 4-5 years.

I retract the previous statement.
