I could see other players following a coach to another school and having an advantage there over other players even though they would have to sit out so since an exodeous could happen I dont have any problem with that stipulation.

Louisville released Allen pretty fast after he asked and he has the option of every school in the country except for about 12 DI schools so I doubt he's complaining.

Amos Allen, who was driving from the family's home in Tampa, Fla., to retrieve Anthony yesterday afternoon, said going to Arkansas "is the last thing on our minds right now." If that should change, he said, the family would appeal U of L's decision to block that transfer.

"We've got a lot of options right now," Amos Allen said. "We want to find out who's going to run the ball."

after getting pushed into some equipment on the sideline during the fifth game at North Carolina State, he produced just 118 rushing yards the rest of the season, and his carries decreased significantly.

Amos Allen said his son hurt his right shoulder so severely in the N.C. State game that he shied away from hits and couldn't lift his arm to catch passes the rest of the season. He underwent shoulder surgery last week.

"That injury was 100 percent of why his numbers went down," the father said.
Sounds like Allen's shoulder injury was more severe than Louisville let anyone know, he still finished the season and played a fair amount for being hurt.

Still given the facts I still dont know why he would want to sit out a year and have to start all over.

I think he'll head back to Florida, maybe FAU or FIU would be a good option for him, I doubt FSU, USF or Florida would be a good place for him to start over.
