Add Rick Pitino to the list of coaches to reach out to Dontaie Allen. The former Kentucky guard’s mother told the Falmouth Outlook that several new schools have reached out since he entered the transfer portal on March 24, including Iona, West Virginia, Notre Dame, Texas A&M, Pittsburgh, and DePaul. Of that group, Allen has spoken directly with Pitino and Bob Huggins. Western Kentucky coach Rick Stansbury also had lunch with Allen and even flew to Virginia to speak to his father. That said, Allen’s mother April said he’s in no rush to decide where to continue his college career, and distance from home isn’t a primary factor.
