Thomas Allen is NOT N

[LNKtrnsplnt]

Major bummer. We knew attrition would happen. Too bad it was him.

Figured he was a goner once he entered the transfer portal even though the writing was on the wall that hoiberg was coming. Truthfully he was likely gone even if we retained miles I felt

[hskr4life]

OOF.  Losing pieces is not good.  Wish Tom the best.

 

One thing it does do is open up a scholarship for Hoiberg to use.  Excited to see how that goes.

Yep. Gives Coach Hoiberg more flexibility to bring in guys he wants and who want to be here with him.

He's learned a lot, but not the past participle of "to learn."

[thrasher31]

I personally think he ends up back at NC State or in that area. Their 4 star PG is treating the draft waters. Could be a good backup plan for NC State. 

 

Thought he would've flourished in a Fred offense. But I won't be upset. Gives us a chance to go get another freshman or transfer

Just from the scuttle butt I’ve heard sounds like he was kinda Home Sick. Wish he would’ve stuck around, but good luck to the young man.

It's going to be fine. Hoiberg & Co. can bring in good guards. I have no doubt about that.

 

Hope it works out for Tom. #GBRAlways

Hmm.. No appreciation for Miles, just Hunter. Kind of surprising.

[tjp21]

I had heard coaching change or not he would likely be moving on. Best of luck to the kid. Hope he lands on his feet somewhere.

Allen probably thought like the rest of us that Nebrasketball would win big this year with JPJ, Cope, Roby, Glynn & him as the starting 5. Oh well, it's life. We move on. GBR !!!

He is a good kid and he did a lot of heartfelt community work.  He is also a good basketball player.  

 

This doesn't shock me.  He has to go where he is comfortable and I wish him well.  He will be missed.

[Huskerone]

Good luck and best wishes young man.  Appreciate your time here.

UConn have a need for a PG on their roster?

 

I'm not a betting man but if someone gave me UConn vs the field on where Allen lands, I'd take UConn.

 

But wherever he ends up I wish him the best of luck!

Well said.  He's a good kid, I wish him well also.

He wasn't an English major.

Good luck, Tom. Thanks for becoming a Husker in the first place.  And, AFAIC, once a Husker, always a Husker.

[Silverbacked1]

As someone that transferred in College there are lots of reasons but most of all it has to do with home and family.

 

Even if it is 200 miles from NC it is closer.

 

Also I often wonder about kids that go to Prep Schools that are away from home. Also guys from overseas.

 

Home and mom's cooking seems to be something that really pulls you back.

so potentially no returning starters if roby goes pro. not good.

Unless you ditch your team high and dry in the summer, make a LeBron James "The Decision" parade out of your transfer, then ditch that team's summer prep with the teammates to go learn boxing instead, then finish up your career not making it to the NCAA tournament... Right? 

[Silverbacked1]

Oh and thank you Tom for playing here, it was fun.

The husker social media account basically ghosted Andrew White after that.  I really don't know if we would list him under our guys in the NBA if he was there.

UCONN needs a little of just about everything. Kenya being there is not the only connection he'd have there. His former teammate at Brewster Academy Sidney Wilson just finished his redshirt freshman year there.
