WVU Coaching Staff in Talks With Pair of Kentucky Players
Over the last couple of days, West Virginia’s coaching staff has been in contact with Kentucky’s Dontaie Allen and Bryce Hopkins. Allen and Hopkins both have recently entered the transfer portal and are looking for a new school to play at.
WVU head coach Bob Huggins reportedly had dinner with Allen (6-foot-6, 198 pounds) in Lexington on Thursday night. West Virginia was close to landing Allen during his high school recruitment before Kentucky came in a few years back.
