It hard not to be excited about incoming wingman Amari Allen out of Green Bay. <\/p>\n
A year ago, when we first wrote of him, he was then a marginal 4-star player at the time. However, after Alabama became one of the first elite programs to really put on a full-court press for his services, he started seeing a rise in his rankings.<\/p>\n
That early buy-in was rewarded too, as Allen was one of the Tide\u2019s first commits, signing on last September.<\/p>\n
And as his senior year blossomed, and Allen\u2019s prodigious scoring talents began to mature, those ratings would prove not be merely a \u201cBama Bump,\u201d but honest evaluations of his skills as a scorer. En route <\/em>to being named Wisconsin\u2019s Gatorade Player of the year, Allen would go on to average 34.2 PPG, while shooting 58% from the floor, and notching 5.8 assists and 8.6 rebounds per night. He\u2019s a very solid FT shooter (78%), and does a great job drawing contact and getting to the line. <\/p>\n
