Leonard Allen Jr kind of disappeared on us. I remember there being some interest and then he kind of gave up on basketball. Maybe it was the lack of D1 offers. Well it appears he's resurfaced under all of our noses. A 7'0 center who has moved from Texas to San Diego to play basketball at a nearby JC. www.sdcity.edu/CampusLife/Athletics/BasketballM/Roster

Some roster they have with two seven footers and a 6-11.The Aztecs need a 7 foot center desparately.

Good find. You should send the info the the basketball coaches. Can we get both Jarrett and Leonard Allen in 2016?

Is it too optimistic to hope that Leonard Allen Jr might walk on at SDSU... especially as he would likely qualify for CA residency after 2 years a SDCC?

One has to ask the question...are they at a community college because of lack talent (skills) or academics?
I suspect it's probably the latter as I am almost certain that a D1 program would bring in a 7' player, even as a "project kid", if he had the grades to be eligible...

Bingo..
And it is hard to imagine that Coach Fisher does not know Allen is here.
If his grades are good, he does not have to take 2 years of JC.
Do we know if he is playing on the team? Or is he saving the year.

How full circle and great would it be after all the big man recruiting disappointments recently if Allen ended up here next year to follow SS's legacy? Especially with all the fuss about sons of former Aztecs not caring about us. I'm assuming after a year at CC he could play right away? You KNOW all our coaches were fully aware of this situation.

If we are recruiting him...maybe it wouldn't be a bad idea for a few members of the SHOW to stop by a few of the SD City games (in full SDSU regalia) to cheer him on...so long as they aren't talking to him directly it wouldn't be a recruiting violation to cheer for your favorite local sports guy (Leonard, Ayton, McCoy)...
Can you even imagine what it would be like to have 100 people doing the IBTWWW chant or Uprising while at a HS or Jr. College game...it would definitely make an impression on a few young men...

Interesting that with all the JC 's in Texas he chose to go to SD City JC . Believe that was the one M.Thomas went to for his sophomore season ,then transferred to SDSU ,
Would be great to get at least one of the Allen guys for 2016 . think 11/18 is the last day to actually sign NLI . then all commitments are just verbal until April

Hopefully Allen has been "stashed" by the staff @ SDCC. Sorta like Webb @ bsu was a couple of years ago..

Weird though that he was class of 2013 and he just now shows up at SDCC. I wonder what he was doing last year.

I think it's weird that his brother is at San Diego City College. Something has to be up with his move.

Kansas has not signed many HS recruits for 2016 . Has offer out there for J.Allen , who has not Signed .is a top 25 recruit . Will be very interesting to watch what happens to both guys . 2016 did not have that many top 10 PF/C , so they become very valuable .
