When are you fools going to understand. Money talks and you know what walks. Kids that play at UGA are groomed for the pros. Why else would someone go over to Athens? This kid will go in the late first to second and make plenty of money. More than a tech grad sees in a lifetime. Can’t blame the kid because school will always be an option. Good luck Allen.

Stop hating techies, dawg fans wish tech the best except when playing the bees, where tech just hates georgia in all aspects of life. What a shame.

Not sure I remember Asher returning a whole lot of punts, at least last year. The only reason Logan Grey was the return guy was when we needed someone with good hands to catch the ball when we would be backed up deep in our territory. Almost all of his returns were for fair catches. Richt even said so…

As far as Asher turning pro…
I don’t think he will get drafted as high as he hopes, but I think he will be a great find in the 3rd or 4th round a couple of years from now when he develops a bit.

Good luck Asher!!!

Do we only support our players if they decide to stay four years? Asher Allen is a fine young man, and an example of class. He will represent UGA well in the pro’s. I wish him the best, and while I would have loved to have seen him on our defense next year, am not going to whine about him moving to the next level, if that is what he feels is best. I do believe that he has the class to come back and finish his degree, because that is the type of person he is. Good Luck Mr. Allen!

Asher is a great guy and I hope he makes 10 pro bowls, but he had a very unimpressive 2008 season and could have used another year. My biggest memory of Asher’s 2008 season was when Gary Danielson called him out for “lazy defense” during the LSU game. He got caught napping on a play and had to hold the guy to prevent him from making a reception. That one play pretty much sums up our defense’s entire season. Hand injury or not, he could have done better. I was shocked when he announced he was leaving early and do not think he is ready for the NFL. Just because you can do something doesn’t mean you should.

How is Asher Allen’s case the same as Danny Ware’s? Asher Allen would be a returning starter and special teams specialist next season. Danny Ware was going to be on the bench for the entire season. There was Brown, Moreno, and Lumpkin. Danny Ware left because his services were no longer needed. He could not have played himself into a better draft pick. Allen had the chance to do exactly that. Mr. Moore, you can’t believe that he would not have benefited from playing another year of football at Georgia. I understand supporting Asher after he made his decision. But you know he should have stayed.

Georgia’s defensive line last year was terrible making interceptions rare. The pro scouts will be the judge and will like what they see in Allen, a good, tough cornerback. low 1st or high 2nd round pick

Let’s be honest. Asher never lived up to his expectations. If you aren’t a first round pick why would you leave early??? I don’t wish bad things on him but it seems like a pretty dumb move. I can’t imagine that too many NFL teams are busy looking for 5′9 corners who don’t have blazing speed.
