Allen back on the market

Josh Gershon leads with the details on Noah Allen's declaration of free agency.

Question: did Harvard lowball on the financial assistance offer?

So who gets back involved? Cal now has Bird.  The schools mentioned in earlier Allen recruiting posts were  San Diego State, St. Mary's, Colorado, Utah and Washington State plus some other Ivies.

The Aztecs have a Dakarai Allen commit, with D'Erryl Williams a possibility as well as Darin Johnson. But the latter recently named Oregon as a leader and Washington is pushing hard.

St. Mary's has 6-foot-4 shooting guard Cullen Neal and 6-foot-5 wing Josh Hermanson committed but it's primary backcourters are all upperclassmen.

Colorado just got a commit from a 6-foot-5 wing and a 6-foot-5 SoCal shooting guard so the Buffs look a little crowded.

Utah seems a real longshot. Washington State -- who knows? Maybe having Ikenna Iroegbu at the point would generate some Allen interest in the Palouse.
