Dontaie Allen is taking his talents outside the state of Kentucky for his final year of college basketball eligibility. The former top 100 prospect became the 13th and final scholarship addition for the Wyoming Cowboys and new head coach Sundance Wicks on Tuesday evening.
Allen was Mr. Basketball in the state of Kentucky as a high school senior in 2019, ultimately committing to play for John Calipari and Kentucky. He redshirted in 2019-20 and played sparingly the next two seasons, averaging 10.5 minutes, 3.9 points and 1.4 rebounds while shooting 33% from deep in 41 games.
Allen then moved across the state to play for the Hilltoppers of Western Kentucky, where he averaged 9.3 points on 37.6% three point shooting as a junior and 8.2 points on 40% from deep last year as a senior.
Now he helps fill out a Wyoming roster that, under Wicks, hopes to climb out of the cellar in the Mountain West.
Allen is one of nine transfer portal newcomers for the Cowboys this offseason, alongside guard Tyree Ihenacho (North Dakota), forward Touko Tainamo (Denver), guard Jordan Nesbitt (Hampton), centers Cole Henry (Northern Iowa) and Yuto Yamanouchi (Portland), forward Abou Magassa (Saint Louis), wing Matija Belic (Santa Barbara) and guard AJ Wills (Holy Cross).
Wicks replaced Jeff Linder last month after Linder left his head coaching position to be an assistant at Texas Tech.
