2019 JUCO SF Teddy Allen - WNCC - Signed

[colhusker]

I have also heard he wants to go to a school that is closer to home (I wanna say he's from Arizona?).  So even if NU/CU were interested more, it is no guarantee he would stick around this area since he isn't from here.

Based on his final 5 it appears getting closer to home is not an issue.

This may have already been asked and answered; if so, I apologize, but, why is this young man at Boys Town?

Watched him play DC West tonight. He has game for sure, but he looked disinterested too often. Maybe he's the type who turns it off and on. He tended to have quite the attitude when things didn't go his way. If we didn't pursue him hard, I understand why based on tonight's observations. Oh, and he didn't start either half. Not sure if it was discipline-related or not.

Really glad he is not heading to Nebraska.   I was at the Centenial conference final tonight ( Boys Town Vs Bishop Neumann ).   BN beat them by around 40 about a month ago.  The game tonight was a pretty good game most of the way.   Bishop always had the lead, but BT kept it under 10. The lead started to grow in the 4th and then Teddy got called for a foul as a BN player hit a layup.   Teddy had had enough and told the ref that he f'ing sucked ( I could hear it from 15 rows up ) .  The ref didn't hear it, so Teddy told him again...the ref heard this time and T'd him.  Teddy went to his bench , but decided he wasn't done.  He walked over to the scorers table where two refs were and either said something and or clapped at them.  He was thrown out of the game at that point.

 

Teddy clearly is very talented for a Nebraska HS player.  Not sure how his game translates at the next level.  That's the least of his problems, given the above prargraph.  I could describe a few more situations as I've seen him play twice this season.  When a person is willing to be a bad butt in front of everyone, that's usually not a good sign.

Not to pile on the kid, but there is a reason he is at Boys Town.

 

That being said I know he will have gotten a great base there if he choices to build on it.

We don't know this kids situation, I'm guessing he didn't have a lot of luxuries a lot of us had growing up. Kid is a hell of a basketball player and I hope he balls out at WV.

Just heard today that Teddy is certainly dealing with a tough situation from the very recent past.  I'm not trying to excuse him for last night.  It does make me more sympathetic however.

I heard he just lost his mom. Could that be part of the problem?

1-7 from the field. I thought he was terrific at Boys Town, but college is going to be an adjustment for somebody who could do whatever he wants in Nebraska C-1.

[uneblinstu]

He's back on the market.

 

 

[hskr4life]

That'd be one hell of a get with how he did this year.

[bball23]

Leaving WV....will NU look at him?

[Huskerpapa]

It may depend on why he is leaving WV...

[49r]

Think it would be possible to keep this discussion in the thread that already exists for this player?

 

 

[Navin R. Johnson]

I had heard a rumor that Allen had an interest in NU and vice versa. A bit of an attitude adjustment might be needed on Allen's part though.

Huggins signed a 6'7" guard last week. They were then one scholarship over the limit. It makes you pause to wonder if Huggins and Ted had "the talk".

Holy hell this would be a glorious get.  That kid can seriously ball and has a super unique game.
