DONTAIE ALLEN!
- Thread starter Darezay
- Start date
Exactly. I'd rather have him than Jeffereis, he wants to be here and understands what it's all about. Jefferies was nothing but NBA, money, NBA, money......He's no help to us in a year or two.
Kentucky guys that can play here need to be taken. They help in ways some of these OAD wannabes won't.
Well said. I liked when we first got Jeffries, since it looked like he was a multi-year player and Cal was adjusting his recruiting strategy. Then the guy's first interview is all about being one and done. It was like, there are 35 players better than you in your own class, plus foreign prospects, plus college prospects, but you're going to be OAD?
Everything about Jeffries was weird. Allen had a great summer and he's true blue. Nothing beats that.
i am going to give my thoughts on this and i want you guys/gals to tell me your thoughts on it
i think this has been a done deal for awhile
once Jefferies decommitted Cal had him make it public, much the same way he does when we lose a recruit he has a flurry of guys commit
i know he had Dom wait a month before he made it public
i am thrilled he is a Wildcat

I don’t think Cal was going to offer until he visited. Cal seems to have a great feel for the kid he wants on a visit. Great pickup. I’m not sure that he’ll be a Rex or Rondo but I do believe he will be a very special player for us during his time here.
I don't think it's that cut and dry. If it's a kid like Goodin that knows he can start/play day 1 at a major program and doesn't want to have to wait at kentucky, we're better off without those guys too.
What we *need* are guys who are from Kentucky, good enough to actually play and contribute, and that are willing to fight for minutes or wait their turn. There's just not many of them, but I feel like we get the ones who exist.
I no more want Jeffries than I would Tandy, even though he's a Kentucky kid good enough to play here.
I don’t think Quickley is a OAD personally. Him, Maxey, Whitney at the 1-3 with allen off the bench would be my guess.
I think Cal has known for a long time that he'd be a Cat whenever we offered. He wanted to see him play and evaluate him, knowing he could wait and get him whenever he was ready.
The timing for this was perfect. Added bonus.
The lone wolf dies, but the pack survives!!!
Ouch! But I still stand by my opinion he won't be here 4 years. The Kentucky effect is too strong. If he can get enough playing time to get in the 8-9 man rotation he will be fine.

Color me SHOCKED that Keyser doesn't recognize sarcasm when he sees it.![[roll]](http://l.yimg.com/j/assets/img/emoticons/classic/roll.r191677.gif "roll [roll]")
I looked at his comment and thought no way. Helen Keller could have caught that one.
You looked too hard. Everyone knew what he was saying, the point is why do we keep bringing up DJ Jeffries.
Couldn't be more perfect. ESPN: Is Cal losing to Penny?
Cal: I'll just replace him tomorrow.
Because he decommitted days ago and this is a message board. You have a compulsive need to police this board, it's weird.
I have a compulsive need to state my opinion which greatly upsets the posse when it differs from their group thought. Dude was a 4 star recruit who will easily be replaced with multiple recruits who are ranked higher, we're arguably the greatest college basketball program of all time, he should be irrelevant to us IMO.
Congratulations to Dontaie Allen.
Congratulations to Dontaie Allen.
Lol smh. Hey let me ask you something. Do you have two accounts?
I thought so. That explains how he got 4,550 likes. 2 were from UMM.
Why on earth would I have 2 accounts? I have zero problem saying whatever I want with this one. Why is it anytime someone challenges the clown posse, the sheep come in and call you psycho or accuse you of having 2 accounts?
Do you have anything on Dontaie Allen or are you just trying to fight with me to earn clown points from the posse?
The headline on ESPN should be "UK trades unprofessional dad and 4 star player for great family and in-state 4 star. Maybe Cal knows what he's doing". Of course they probably won't even mention it. I have a friend who lives in LA that's a Cat fan and he was really upset after reading the headline when Jeffries dropped out because ESPN made it sound like we did everything wrong. Turns out we did everything right.
I've been watching Allen here in Pendleton county for a couple years now,he is a hard worker,wanted to play at Kentucky more than anything,and will be a better addition than any one and done that justs wants to get to the NBA and the name on the jersey isn't as important.
