Commitment Analysis: Dontaie Allen will compete for playing time during his freshman season

Dontaie Allen decided to skip the offer speculation, pass go (and hopefully not collect $200 because of NCAA repercussions) and commit directly to Kentucky on Thursday. Allen becomes UK’s second commitment in the class of 2019 after UK lost D.J. Jeffries earlier this week.

Let’s breakdown what his commitment means to Kentucky.

The Basics: Allen is a 6-foot-6, 200-pound scoring wing from Pendleton County High School (Falmouth, Ky.). He’s ranked No. 47 in the Rivals150 and made one of the bigger jumps during the summer. In July Allen blew up after a wild opening weekend of the live period.
