LEXINGTON, KY – Dontaie Allen, the former University of Kentucky basketball guard, has been actively working behind the scenes to bring star transfer Obi Agbim back to Lexington. Sources close to the situation have confirmed that Allen, who played with Agbim during their time at Kentucky, has been in regular contact with the talented player, encouraging him to return to the Wildcats program for the upcoming season.
Agbim, a highly regarded prospect who transferred last season, has been a standout at his new program but is reportedly weighing options for his future. Allen, who has deep ties to the Wildcats’ basketball culture, sees a potential fit for Agbim in John Calipari’s system, especially after a stellar performance that caught the attention of many across the college basketball world.
Fans are eager to see if this recruitment effort will bear fruit, as Agbim could bring much-needed depth and experience to a Kentucky squad that is expected to contend for a national title next season. The Wildcats have already been making noise in the transfer portal this offseason, and adding a player of Agbim’s caliber could prove to be a game-changer.
As of now, it’s unclear whether Agbim will ultimately decide to make the move back to Kentucky, but the recruiting efforts from Allen, who has a close bond with Agbim, certainly provide an interesting twist in this offseason’s transfer portal drama.
