Kentucky signee Dontaie Allen has no plans to redshirt

Kentucky Wildcats signee and Kentucky Mr. Basketball Dontaie Allen only played 13 games in his high school season before tearing his ACL and missing the rest of his senior season.

That’s led to speculation Allen could redshirt during his first year in college. That would ensure he doesn’t waste his entire freshman season while rehabbing and barely playing.

But according to Josh Moore of Kentucky.com, Allen told reporters that he has no intentions to redshirt his freshman season at Kentucky next year.

“I have no intention to redshirt,” said Allen, who signed with UK in November.
