Alleyne to the transfer portal

Hopefully he goes to a Rhode Island, UMass, or somewhere local and puts on a show. I would love to see him be a team's top dog.

 

[MJKI]

I don't really get this one, thought him being family friends with the Castle's was a big draw for him. Either way I will always respect him and thank him for being an integral part of #5. Best of luck wherever you land Alleyne!

 

[Phoenixhusky]

No!!!! Love him but best of luck to him. A true Husky!

 

[KingAG]

Thank You for everything Nahiem! Makes sense. He’s got his championship. Probably looking for a starting role somewhere

 

[FLDawg16]

First instinct is NOOOOOOO!!! After pausing for a second must mean there’s some moving pieces going on

 

[Yanksrock615]

Thanks for everything Allyene! I guess he’s worried about his playing time.

Better be a good plan….

 

[M.S.G.]

Bummer, but he could go start somewhere.. Tea leaves to be read here but I won’t speculate.

He deserves to start somewhere, likely wouldn’t have done it here next year, he was a large part of our March run - BEST OF LUCK!

 

[mauconnfan]

Sucks loved what he brought. His experience toughness on D will be missed.

Thanks and best of luck to Naheim!

 

[BigErnMcCracken]

This doesn't need to be some cloak and dagger stuff. It makes all the sense in the world that a former ACC starter would want to close out his college career with a bigger role than he likely would have had here next year.

Best of luck to a great kid.

I thought Stephon and the Castle family would be a factor. Plus he was a girl friend in Storrs. A lot of good reasons to stay.

Either way, he will shine elsewhere and I hope he does. He's a great kid...

 

[7774]

Damn that's a bummer. Kind of thought he'd be back with the Castle connection and the gf. GL Nahiem, thanks for everything!

 

[NJHusky]

Does he get another free transfer because he is a grad transfer? Interesting timing right before the Timberlake visit…..

 

[tcf15]

Timing is suspicious...

 

[BGesus4]

He’d be great somewhere he’s the first scoring option.

 

[elmcityboy]

this is surprising considering the castle connection mentioned above and his relationship with nika muhl. that being said, super happy for him!! hope he kills it at his next stop.

will be stoked to see either timberlake or one of the new guys (solo ball??) step up next year.

 

[Fatroony5]

Dude wants some PT, can’t blame him. He really came on those last 15 games or so, big part of that run. Grad transfer so he’s eligible to play right away

 

[hasheemthedream]

Don’t like this….would prefer Alleyne over Timberlake. As mentioned above though he probably wants to start somewhere and get some $$

 

[MJKI]

Grad transfer is always a free one, so yes he does

GOOD LUCK ALLEYNE

 

[Huskyforlife]

Thanks Nahiem! You were so crucial to the run, go teach some other teams players what it means to be a winner!

 

[navery12]

Thanks for the championship. Not hard to read the tea leaves about potential decisions coming in the next few days

 

[Com'rGordon]

Love him and will always appreciate the year we got to watch him, couldn't have done it without him!

Hope he finds a great spot and has a terrific year

 

[Chuck]

Nahiem was an underrated part of our success this year. He played with confidence, and took some important shots when it seemed like other guys were getting tight. I'd keep Nahiem over a transfer like Timberlake. But it does seem like there are less minutes becoming available every day, so maybe this is a win-win for Nahiem and UConn. But I'll add Nahiem to a list of transfers that I hope nothing but the best for.

 

[businesslawyer]

If I had to guess, I doubt he'd be leaving if he thought he would start next year. That may lead to the conclusion that he thinks both Newton and Jackson may be coming back. While I greatly thank Alleyne for his contribution, if you tell me I have to let go of one of Newton, Alleyne or Jackson, I wouldn't be selecting Newton or Jackson.

 

[Palatine]

He was awesome in his role for us. Key component.

Now he wants to start and bring his game to the next level. Good for him, probably the right move. The entire A-10 should be after him. From what I saw he could start for a B-10 team like Purdue.

Agreed, otherwise it's a surprise. Obviously, it suggests we either have another guard returning or we have a new singer joining the backcourt.

 

[JakeTheDog]

Thanks Nahiem!

We also have a five kid recruiting class and the possibility of landing Timberlake.

You want to be an elite program this is what happens. You can’t be sympathetic over depth pieces when you have plenty of talent at your disposal
