I think he went there for the NIL, period.  And I don't blame him for that.  He isn't an NBA player.  I guess he can make a living playing basketball, but it's smart to start getting paid asap.  The word was that the Vitaminwater guy was going to throw around big NIL bucks.  Alleyne jumped early and may have gotten a lot of cash.  Plus, Pitino is a legend regardless of what we think of him as a person which is a side benefit.

My only issue with Alleyne transferring to SJU is that it's in conference.  If he went anywhere else, I'd be rooting for him.  As a one year player, I don't have a lot of strong feelings for him, so I'll be rooting against him like any other SJU player.  Corey Floyd I root against even more than the typical Providence player.  Akok Akok was a bit different, but I still didn't like that he went to Georgetown (but certainly hope he is healthy after his collapse).  I'd be happy to see Diggins do well (but UMass suck).  I'm all in on Springs and QU!
