Thomas Allen has been granted a release from the N.C. State basketball program and will pursue other options, he said Wednesday afternoon.
Allen, a 6-2, 180 pound four-star guard who plays at Brewster Academy in New Hampshire, said he was granted his release on Tuesday. He would reconsider N.C. State if they recruited him again, he said, but he doesn’t expect them to.
“For (Kevin) Keatts, he’s not going to beg you to stay if you want to leave,” Allen said.
Keatts was hired as N.C. State’s coach two weeks ago, replacing Mark Gottfried. Allen was the Wolfpack’s only signee from the class of 2017.
