The first change to UK’s roster came on Thursday morning when Dontaie Allen announced his decision to place his name in the transfer portal. Over three seasons in Lexington, the redshirt sophomore averaged 3.9 points in 10.5 minutes per game. He experienced some highs while at Kentucky, specifically in a pair of games against Mississippi State last season. As this year progressed, though, this outcome appeared more and more likely.
When you dive into this decision, there’s plenty to discuss on both sides. On Kentucky’s side, Allen should have seen the floor a lot more during the 2020-2021 campaign.
