From Wilmington, North Carolina to Hutchinson, Kansas and finally to Tucson, Arizona—senior point gaurd Kadeem Allen’s journey is different than a lot of other college basketball players.
He’s not the only one who was scarcely recruited, finding himself at a junior college. After only receiving scholarship offers from schools close to home, Allen had to leave his beloved family in North Carolina and head to Kansas to begin his college career.
Family is everything to the 24-year-old who had a daughter, Genesis, in September and had nearly 20 family members in town for senior day during Arizona’s home finale against UCLA.
