Is anyone’s star rising faster than Dontaie Allen right now?
The Pendleton County small forward has received six Division I offers since Thursday. Florida, Illinois, Pittsburgh, Oklahoma, Iowa State and St. Louis have all extended scholarships to the three-star prospect in the last week. That brings his total to 22 offers, and Kentucky still isn’t one of them.
But John Calipari and his coaches aren’t ignoring the in-state star. Contact from Kentucky has spiked recently for Allen, and “he texts almost daily with Kentucky assistant coach Joel Justus,” according to Jon Hale of the Louisville Courier Journal.
