Bryant Allen stars in Normandy tourney title game

I know he's a football recruit, but Tubby is definitely going to like this kid. Here is some footage of him from December 29th in a holiday tournament championship game. He's #2 in blue

He seems to be an excellent offensive player. If there is any way he can manage to play 2 overlapping sports, he will have to learn to stay in front of his man defensively. He also seems to play his game well below the rim. I'd really like a chance to see him play.

He sort of reminds me of Kris Humphries. Tons of scoring ability, never passes the ball. I wonder how he'd cope with not being the go-to guy.

You're seeing edited video, of course he isn't passing the ball in it he is their scorer and showing non scoring plays is boring on a video like this. I would bet money on this kid being as good or a better shooter as Blake in a year if he wanted to focus on it. Nice two feet standing vert.

He has a great hair-do and he certainly can shoot. I think Tubby will find a place for him once we finish our New Years Day Bowl game next year.

Just from watching those clips...his game reminds me a lot of former Arizona Wildcat Salim Stoudamire. Lefthanded guard with a quick release, deep range and a deadly 3 point shot. Would be an excellent addition to have on the team without using up a BB scholarship

The Tubster is going to need to buy a lot more basketballs wtb all the football players this board has drafted onto the basketball team.

Of course I realize it's edited. But there were too many times that if you were playing team ball, you would have passed, and he didn't. And BTW, watching a great assist is fun too. It's one thing watching a handful or two of great shots, but after awhile, I look for guards who liek to get others involved. I guess it's the ex-coach in me. I really like watching a guy play tough defense, but I know I'm unlikely to see that in these types of videos.

He wasn't facing much defense in most of those shots, so I don't know whether he's got a quick enough shot to be a scorer like that in college. And I mean that quite literally--I just can't tell one way or the other.
