Naheim Alleyne in the transfer portal

[ScottCT]

I kinda knew it was going to be SJU because it's the only competitive school he can go to and still be close to his girlfriend.

Terrific article! Hurley and staff on point recruiting high character people/players like Naheim. All these stories buried in the winning of a National Championship. UConn Nation wishes you and your family the best Naheim!

Loved what Nahiem brought to the team. But let's see if we still think he's high character once Pitino interrogates him over all the intracacies of the UConn playbook

I was hoping he’d go to UMass to stay close

 

[nycscooby]

Alleyne for Storr?

 

[YearoftheHusky]

Alleyne for Storr?

I don’t think Alleyne is considering Wisconsin.

 

[Phoenixhusky]

Seems like he made a really quick decision, anyone know his list of finalists?

UMass stinks, I want much better for him.

St. John's would be a great pick.

 

[brasssbonanzaa]

While it'd be awful to have to go up against him at least twice, it'd be great for his development to get a year under Pitino. Happy for him if he chooses St Johns.

I would love if Alleyne went outside of the Big East, but yes, I don't think UMass is a good situation for him. As much as I would hate the sight of UConn playing against him I still want what is best for him and playing at St. John's under Rick Pitino is better than playing at UMass under Frank Martin.

St John’s is kind of a garbage drive to Storrs.

Nika convinced him to stay? Please

I really don’t get the Pitino love. 70 years old, how does he relate to todays players? Just ran off pretty much his entire team. Not loyal like Dan Hurley was to his returning players. Seems like a guy that can lose a locker room pretty quick

 

[UofCT]

No. He graduated and is making personal business decisions just like you and me.

Jk means just kidding.

Can’t blame him

 

[Fatroony5]

He #1 priority should be developing a jump shot. He should TRY to copy Hawk’s or Ray’s technique. Just TRY and if can create space for his shot he will make millions. It’s that simple.

Why has no one ever thought of this? It’s groundbreaking, it’s all that simple!

Ha ha didn’t see that he committed. Sorry to see Alleyne go but looking forward to the five frosh.

I hope it is St. Johns… a good St Johns is good for the big east

Ehh, they've been mediocre for 23 straight years and the big east has been fine.

 

[Scoe]

Umass would be boring, St John’s while awkward would be way more exciting.

The portal is free agency as they say it’s like signing a slugger to a 1 year deal winning a ring with him then a division rival signs him.

 

[WrenchFan69]

URI would be cool. Plenty of PT, respectable conference, 1hr15min from his girl, and plenty of time to hang by the beach

Anyone else rabidly refreshing Nahiem's twitter page?
