LEXINGTON - Former Mr. Kentucky basketball and UK guard Dontaie Allen is staying in the Bluegrass State.
Allen, who announced in March he would transfer from Kentucky, committed to Western Kentucky Wednesday.
After averaging 14 minutes per game in 22 games as a redshirt freshman in 2020-21, Allen appeared in only 18 games this season for UK, averaging 6.7 minutes per game.
"Dontaie has been an incredible teammate and brought a lot to our program," Kentucky coach John Calipari tweeted after Allen entered the transfer portal. "He battled to overcome an injury early and never let the adversity change who he was.
