Allan Chaney is souring up the prospected power forward rankings faster then any other player out there. Playing in Connecticut in relative obscurity for the past three years as a forward, he averaged 24 points and 12 boards, but it wasn’t until his performance at the Reebok All-American Camp that he started getting noticed and it might be to late for UConn.The moon-walking Billy Donovan, who danced his way back to his old job, took a private jet to see this outstanding talent in action and it impressed Chaney. “I just looked, stood there for a moment and saw that Gator on his shirt.”
It would be ominous if UConn started losing talent from their own backyard. Even though Florida is the hottest ticket in town, they are due a tailspin. Calhoun needs to push hard to get Allen, not only for his great ability but for the reputation of the school.
Chaney is a gifted offensive talent, who can flip a switch and get into attack mode. He also has a mid-range game that players three years ahead are developing. The knock on him is his post play and defense, which is a Calhoun trademark.
Donovan might have the spotlight now but Calhoun has the longevity that has earned him hall of fame status, taking two separate teams to the pinnacle of college basketball something Donovan has yet to prove. Not to mention having more NBA players than any other school, which to a talent of Chaney means all the world.

TOO BAD you underestimated Billy the Kid. He takes what he pleases. Old Man Calhoun is past his prime and will NEVER win back to back titles like Billy did. The Gators are here to stay! We got Allan Chaney, baby right from your backyard.
He will be a solid player for you guys. But I think Calhoun has atleast one more run left in him.
