DONTAIE ALLEN!

I’m glad we got him too! But a lot of those one and dones come back and do things for UK! There are a couple you can claim that are this way! But the biggest majority come back and give back to UK with camps , charity games, and alumni games. And if you follow them on twitter. They all support each other and refer to La Famila
Well I don’t disagree with that. A real OAD prospect that can have an immediate impact are fine. Guys that should be 3 year players that are one foot out the door can’t help us. Jefferies seems to be one of those. I just never liked him after seeing his interviews. Another guy who will leave without a guarantee and likely won’t be much of a threat while he’s here. I’d much rather have a Kentucky kid who loves the program, even if he won’t contribute until his junior or senior year.
They are getting harder and harder to find, Darius Miller just doesn’t pop up often. But when they’re there, make it happen. That’s really all I’ve ever asked.
I doubt he’ll be here longer than two! He’s a top 50 kid and from what everyone says about him. He is a tireless worker! Who is constantly trying to get better.
Dude, you need to stop trying to re-spin this. Every time you do they'll just come back at you harder.
Seems clear from your response what happened. You just missed the joke. That's OK, everybody's missed sarcasm at some point (although that was a really obvious miss). Best to just ignore them.

I didnt miss his lame joke, he wasnt even the first person to post "DJ who" in this thread. I didnt miss the obvious sarcasm, you guys missed my point. The point is we're bigger than DJ Jeffries and should let it go, he was brought up 6 times in a Dontaie Allen thread. I wasnt trying to explain to him who DJ Jeffries is. This shouldn't have to be explained, the irony.

I'm wondering the same thing. The timing is very suspect. However, great news for us. I think we all want to see players that really want to be at UK and an in-state talent just makes it better.
Love love love this addition.
Love his length.
Love his attitude.
Love his skill.
Great news.

A kid from Kentucky playing for the Cats will always mean something special to me. Welcome aboard!
I have only ever asked for Kentucky to compete. Not win titles or make final fours, I'm cool with the NIT as long as everyone is ethical, moral, and upstanding.
Eh, depends on what he wants. I don't think he's a first round pick regardless. Could see him playing 3/4 years and graduating.
Do u think we will only play one sg per game or something? You ack like you can only have five players total on a team. Just be happy for Allen, I’m sure Whitney is going to be glad he’s playing with him next year. We have any where between 10 to 15 players per year. Unless you think Whitney is scared of, or don’t like Allen I don’t know why you are asking this. Not trying to be ass but can you clarify why you would have waited? I really don’t get it.
Nice get Cats! Bruce was close to offering this young stud before we got Okoro. Must be a baller.
I agree with this. I think he will play next year and be a really good player for us in his second year but he’s a different type of guy I believe. He loves the KY Wildcats and unless he’s a top ten pick , I think he will want to stay and live his dreams out. Winning a couple of championships would be the icing on the cake.
Bruce has always tried to get in on Kentucky boys, and the only one stupid enough to actually play for the water buffalo was Hopson, who wasn't really a Kentucky guy.
Who in the hell grows up in Kentucky wanting to be a player for Alabama Jr college or UTjr? None.
He’s a top 50 kid who is 6’6 and can shoot something the NBA covets! No way he stays here more than two!
Darius Miller was a top 50 kid and 6'7/6'8, graduated.
Mike, buckle up. This kid is here to win titles...
Addition by subtraction followed by another addition. Can't wait to see this kid play. It will be refreshing knowing a Kentuckian is on the roster--him being talented is just icing on the cake. He'll be a fan favorite. I'll be pulling for him more than usual.
This kid is a 5 star talent he's going to have a major impact year 1 not 3 lol. 6"6 dudes with elite offensive skills are not real common.
IMO this kid will be good and a solid 6th-7th man next season but by year 2 he will be an ALL SEC type and if he somehow stays 3 years an ALL AA type . I hold a similar opinion about Herro. Though Herro is a 2 year player tops and might win SEC POY as a sophomore.
Nice. I'm glad Dontaie's big rise got him a much deserved offer and spot from UK. Hopefully Khalil Whitney isn't far behind.
He put in the hard work and achieved his dream. Great story.

Y’all realize keyser’s not the one that missed the joke right? No one missed that joke. It just wasn’t funny, it’s played out and even making the joke contradicts itself. His response was a counter joke. He was responding to it in the most literal manner possible as a mockery of it.
Now, about new wildcat Dontaie Allen.
What’s our lineup look like his freshman year? I think there’s a chance one of green or Quickley returns. We could still get another guard from that class but the only one we’re currently recruiting appears to be Cole Anthony. Feel like Baker and Herro are almost certain to be back but Herro’s ability to get his shot and hit from just about anywhere on the floor is going to be attractive to gm’s. So hard to predict a lineup a year out now.

Check out his handle and behind the back crossovers. Has another year of high school yet. Not only shoots well but has great court vision and passing instincts.

I think Hampton and Nico will be options as well. Cal is the master of finding great point guards
