Teddy Allen 6'5 F-WVU Transfer a Shocker!

[Shock Top]

Kid can score at all levels, but behind the arc.

Give him a year off to work on his shot, and he could be a tremendous offensive threat anytime he has the ball.

Most of the WVU board thought he had the potential to be a quality player, some even calling him a All-Big12 type of potential. Could really score, but they had doubts about his defense. Not very athletic, slow and undersized.

From the 4 minutes of highlights i watched (lol) .. i agree. Not very athletic, not an above the rim player but had some pretty good moves. Though a lot of his scores came in transition due to steals from Carter and others.

Something obviously evil is happening. I'm agreeing with Cold on his evaluation of potential recruits.

[Shock Top]

I noticed he’s not much of a dunker. Maybe Kerry can get this guy bouncing, with that year off too! Ha

The kid has valuable D1 minutes, as a freshman, in the BXII. That’s got to mean something.

He also seems a bit immature, but who wasn’t as that age. A year away from court time could probably help some with that as well.

Another 6'5"ish wing (that we seemed to be loaded with) who may not check the boxes for 3pt%, defense, and possible stretch 4?

[Aargh]

A 6'5" stretch 4 that can't hit from 3?

[Shock Top]

If it can down to Allen vs Amin, I would definitely do Allen. Already proven talent and potential at the highest level of D1.

Marshall and Huggy are similar in a lot of ways, but Marshall is a little more rah-rah and personable. Though similar players might be successful in both coaches system, perhaps Marshall can reach kids Huggy can’t (and visa versa)

Hopefully, a fresh start is all Allen would need. Keep some of the confidence and swagger though! ;)

Amin is already gone

Potential locker room cancer, no thanks. But the coaches know better than me so let me shut up

[Shock Top]

He speaks well in his interviews. Doesn't sound like a problem child, at least.

It could have just been a bad culture fit, from the beginning, for both sides. Maybe being closer to home would help.

Do transfers count towards our official visit limit? We’ve got to be close to hitting the limit if that’s the case.

That's a good question. How do we know for sure whose is on an OV and who visits on their own dime? We get 24 official visits every 2 years. So this year we have 24 less however many we had last year. Next year we will have 24 less whatever we had this year but we probably won't need very many next year.

That would put yet another 6'5" kid into our already huge freshman class?????

Attention whore with lead in his sneakers. Good nose for the basket though and + energy.

...:cool:

Hasn’t Marshall said he wanted to retire around age 60? Maybe he’s prepping for one more hard run at a Natty.

[Jhook89]

Strange.. He only shot 2 3's in the final 19 games and they were both in the same game. Could be a good get though. 23 ppg and 9 rpg per 40 as a freshmen is no joke. For perspective that is exactly what Shaq did last year as a 5th year senior. Let this guy sit a year and work on his shot, then could be a contributor the following 3 years.

Teddy is from Arizona and was sent to Boys Town .

[Shock Top]

Well, still closer to home than WVU ;)

Teddy is a Shocker.
