Going into last week, 247Sports was the only major recruiting service that included Pendleton County basketball star Dontaie Allen in its national rankings for the class of 2019.
That website had Allen at No. 151 overall after scouting him with his M.A.T.T.S. Mustangs travel team earlier in the spring. Rivals.com’s rankings include only the top 150 prospects in the class, and ESPN’s list goes only 100 players deep.
247Sports national analyst Evan Daniels evaluated Allen — a 6-foot-6 wing player — at two events in Georgia last week, including the star-studded Under Armour Challenge, and what he saw vindicated the decision to include the Kentucky native in the national rankings earlier this year.
