Pendleton County standout Dontaie Allen was one of the state’s best scorers and rebounders during his junior season, and figures to match or exceed that production for the Wildcats during his senior campaign next school year.
Where he’ll play college basketball has yet to be decided, but it sounds like there’s a frontrunner for his services if they choose to seek them.
“Dontaie’s dream school is the University of Kentucky,” Pendleton County Coach Keaton Belcher wrote in a text message to the Herald-Leader.
Such is the case for many of the state’s players annually, but Allen’s got a foot in the door; assistant coach Joel Justus watched Allen workout at Pendleton County’s gym on Saturday and invited the 2019 recruit to come play pickup games during an unofficial visit with UK’s team at the Craft Center in June.
