Over a week after picking up an exciting transfer point guard in Tristen Newton, Dan Hurley has pulled another backcourt player out of the portal in Nahiem Alleyne.
Alleyne, who played Virginia Tech for the past three seasons, ranks as the 80th best transfer prospect per EvanMiya.Com and will be eligible to play immediately. With this coming season and another year of eligibility due to the COVID-19 bonus year, he could remain in Storrs through the 2023-24 season.
He averaged 9.6 points per game last season and chose UConn over Memphis, Texas, Texas Tech, Georgia, and Georgia Tech.
