I don’t get it kid can play and last what 6 games less than 5 minutes. Well he will transfer and probably haunt us in a game.
DA mop up time
- Thread starter BlueBloodKyFan73
- Start date
He blocked a 3 attempt. He plays as good of defense as anyone on the team not named Jackson
He hasnt made a 3 in like 2 months.
Listen I like the kid but he is a redshirt freshman that can shoot and he hasn't been hitting lately.

The guy he competes for PT with scored 21 today and hit 6-10 from deep and people complain about a reserve’s playing time!!
I don't think he has any confidence right now.
Allen can be a good player here, maybe great...if he wants to. Cal is not sabotaging him. He is getting pretty normal run for a Freshman who is behind the depth chart. He is relatively one dimensional right now. Really hope he stays and grows as a player.
We just won by 28 and you start a thread complaining. Some fans just can't seem to be happy for at least 24 hours. I'm ecstatic about how we played today, maybe that is more important than whether our #10 depth chart player didn't play so much?
The worst thing that happened to Allen was the Miss St game..Some fans are just silly about him.. He will be a good player in time, but he's not very good right now
Tied for team lead in blocks and steals in just 10 mins. He's just not cal's boy and now he has no confidence
I'd like to see him in the weight room and put on 10-15 pounds of muscle.
The one positive of Allen transferring is we won’t have to see anymore Play Richie threads.
I’m not complaining I’m just wondering why he hasn’t played many minutes in the past handful of games. This by far was the best team ball we have played all year.
He’s like 2 for his last 13 and shoots the ball like it has hot acid on it - his release is rushed not quick
He was screened on a play earlier in the game. He just gave up on it. Didn't fight through it. Barely made an attempt. Not many players are going to get minutes if that's the energy they are going to give. It's crazy though because we've seen times where he's shown flashes of being a good defender. Perhaps, after missing nearly 2 years, and this only being basically his 24th collegiate game he's still getting in to basketball shape and adjusting to the speed of the game. He truly deserves patience from everyone.
This wouldn’t even be mentioned if DA were from anywhere other than Kentucky. Big win, post about one player not playing. DA isn’t good. Not yet. Kid can’t handle the ball, so he needs a set up; but he can’t hit a three; hasn’t been in a while. Can’t play D. Can’t pass. Can’t get his own shot. He shouldn’t be getting anymore run that he is. Enjoy a win, they don’t come around very often.
I've seen him take his man off the dribble and score at the basket as well as pop the three. He's clearly lost confidence and Cal isn't doing anything to help.
No. But Boston scored 21 today. I think we leave him on the court over Allen this game.Does Boston?
Won’t make a damn bit of difference either way. Hope he stays but if he doesn’t, oh well.
Yeah I think he’s gone after this season. Too much smoke. Cal mishandled him badly.
He is a rsfreshman who has zero leash for errors or shots...today was aberration for certain guys.
I'm not sure he has confidence ever
One of the worst things in sports is a kid that just falls back and doesn't dig or speak up. I'm starting to believe this is his problem
He is probably the most willing passer on the team. He plays defense better than Boston.
We suck! We know Boston is gone. Why not give Allen some clock so he comes back next season?
No, it’s relevant because he can shoot. Period, end of story. If you get a guy who can shoot, you play him and you keep him. At one point, Boston was shooting 19% from 3 and Allen was shooting 45% from 3 and Cal played Boston. There’s only one reason why Cal did that, 5 stars!
such a stupid post. Boston’s 50x better than Allen. That’s why he plays more
Lol. He played ten minutes and couldn’t hit the broad side of a barn. 0-4 from 3 and none were even close. He is a total non factor.
Boston is a better player than Allen, yes. 50x better? No. Cal should have played Allen more this year, especially when Boston was shooting 19% from 3. Cal let Boston through his mistakes but he didn’t with Allen.
Cal should have played Allen a lot more earlier in the year. A lot. But this situation is game to game and there is zero reason to play Allen over Boston today. Zero.
