Dontaie Allen has been an interesting talking point when it comes to the 2019-2020 men’s basketball team.
Allen is the Wildcat’s first in-state player to both receive a scholarship and commit to UK since Dominique Hawkins and Derek Willis in 2013. Since his announcement, it’s been a roller coaster of a time for the Falmouth native.
After starting his senior season strong, Allen tore his ACL during a game and later broke his collarbone in a car accident. Even after winning Mr. Kentucky Basketball, Allen has spent all summer working towards a full recovery.
