Scout Profile



Orchard Lake (MI)
St. Mary's

Height: 6-foot-0
Weight: 175 pounds
40-yard dash: 4.4 seconds
GPA: 3.0

"His change of direction is really good. He also has great leadership qualities. He presses most people in coverage, and he has a real knack for going up and getting the ball. He’s a tough kid and has the hips to be a big-time cover corner." -St. Mary’s coach George Porrit

Interested in Boston College, Florida State, Michigan, Michigan State, Notre Dame, Virginia Tech and Purdue.

He was in Ann Arbor for the OSU game. According to unionfutura, OSU has already extended an offer to Dionte. He seems to be favoring Michigan a bit right now, but he also grew up following Florida State. He is also good friends with 2007 UM basketball commit Alex Legion. Yet another recruit in 2007 from the state of Michigan to keep an eye on.

Yeah it seems like there are a lot of early good lookin' prospect from Michigan, hopefully we can pull one or two.

Will having Gant in this class drastically help our chances with Allen?

Well, common sense should tell you that it wouldn't hurt our chances.

[unionfutura]

but to be honest its gonna still take a lot of work to pull him away from Michigan.

another victory this year would make it a no brainer...

From the ND site.....Allen attended ND's Junior Day. Allen says that Michigan (offer) is his leader, Florida State, Ohio State, Notre Dame and Miami round out his top schools. Interesting that Allen states that tOSU is close to offering (thread title may be premature).

I had thought that our offer to Allen helped make us aware of Gant and Bowman. Now it turns out that we're CLOSE to offering Allen, and we've already offered Gant and Bowman. That's interesting to me.

I think that can only bring about added respect from Allen... not to mention we now have one of his best friends in the fold already

That's my bad, I misunderstood, he had a verbal offer with a written one coming after signing day.

I think it's safe to say he will have an offer though and he probably knows this. Even though we have Gant(and probably Bowman) this will probably be a tough get. Do you think we have any chance union?

[OSUBasketballJunkie]

Based on his recent update, Michigan is the clear cut leader.....

[thackattack]

Awww, you mean he doesn't want to play with his cousin and good friend for the team that will win the greatest rivalry in sports for years to come? C'mon Dionte, be a Buckeye! You know you want to!

we always have a chance until the kid actually signs something, however with that said, it will be a long hill to climb that's for sure. Him helping to recruit his best bud Alex Legion to Michigan doesn't exactly bode well.

However, Michigan did get a surprise from one of the nations best corners, and Ronald Johnson another 07 recruit, favors Michigan about the same as Allen does (regardless what ND says), someone is gonna be a backup in this scenario. Why not go somewhere where you'll be the man. Long time before the 2007 signing day

Allen attended Michigan's JR Day. Allen says he is closer to a decision but wants to wait and take a few trips.

[unionfutura]

and see he has a 4 star ranking
