WVSPORTS.COM Allen plans to transfer from WVU
- Thread starter Keenan Cummings
- Start date
I really liked Teddy's scoring ability and thought he would continue to diversity his offense. His twitter page shows him putting in time in workouts, so I do think he has the work ethic. I thought he was fearless and someone who could've developed into the go-to guy when time is running out.
But, Huggs' style isn't for everyone. This is a loss, but not an irreplaceable loss. I wish him good luck wherever he goes. In this day and age, transfers are a common thing, unfortunately.

Hate to see him go and wish him the best. I wonder if Huggs broke him mid-season. He seemed to lose some confidence.

He was too slow, unathletic. Couldn’t run or jump. Couldn’t shoot. Wasn’t going to play much. I told you he was the one to leave. We don’t need him. Teddy was done when Esa came back, nobody else left, we added Haley, Horton recently. Those guys fit in. Teddy was not a fit and had a attitude at times. It is what it is.
Definitely disappointing. He really struggled to score when he played against big athletes, but showed potential. I was curious to see what an off season and more strength could do for his game. But if you aren't going to be a functional cog in the machine, it's better to go somewhere that's a better fit.
LOL. Pathetic post. The kid had great potential to be an all Big12 type of player at WVU.
He didn't wanna play defense, only wanted to play offense and argued with Huggs. Where have we seen this before?
We are most likely landing another that will fill in better. He could score when you were OK with running 4 on D.
It’s not a big loss. WVU literally just recruited over his position on Monday and will do it again in the coming days
You’re trying too hard
You had a proven player that was absolutely Big12 material and a high ceiling growth potential. You’re typical low IQ that can’t even appreciate the established fact I just stated.
Not nearly the loss you claim. Weak on the defensive end. Slow. Attitude problem. Not that athletic.
Your opinion proves that your bball I.Q. isn't nearly what you think it is.
All BXII? lol
What’s wrong with some of you. I didn’t claim WVU was losing an All American. I’m claiming this kid established he wasn’t over his head at this level. And had potential to be a top 15 type of player in Big12. Could have developed into a 1st, 2nd, 3rd or honorable mention all Big12 type of kid. Again you guys make crap up.
Then why can't you assume that we will equal or surpass what we would get from Allen with the additions of Culver and others? Especially if we land Matthews.
It's not a big loss. And not unexpected.
First I don’t assume anything over a known quantity. A lot of kids come into to colleges and can’t compete on this level. So I don’t assume anything. Not just at WVU but anywhere it sucks to lose guys that can play. That’s my point and some on here act like a walk on just left.

304 this is your worst post ever.
I thought at first you were describing Elmore's performance against WVU.
Allen is a natural talent who needed another season under Huggs to become a great player.
I am sorry to see him go. Hope he does well, but not well enough to play against us someday.
I seriously doubt that you watched him when he was in a game.
" We Don't Need Him" ? Sorry that is just wrong.

Agree with left tackle on this. Teddy showed promise as a freshman. He wasn’t perfect by any means but had a nasty streak on the court. Hate to see him leave after just 1 year and wished they could have figured out the attitude problem. With the way the games are called today we need scoring and he has the tools to develop into a consistent scorer.
Your insult was just squid ink
Allen scored situationally
He could not guard at our level, hence his 12 minutes a game average.
Meanwhile, we have Ahmad, West and Harris improving and dominating his position
The additions of Culver and Gordon mean Konate will at times slide down to play PF alongside them and push our usual PFs from last season to SF....... further making Allen’s absence a non issue
Also we just signed a 6’8 guard who can play 1-4 and who was a former 5 Star recruit
We might sign another SF this weekend
But I’m sure you knew that, right? lol
Why don’t you ask him what he said to one of the coaches that led to him getting benched a few games.
Teddy wasn’t going to play anymore than this past season. He needs to transfer, sit out a year and improve and still have 3 years. I think he’s a lower D1 player.
Whatever buddy. Open your eyes and be professional when a legit player leaves the team. For a mod you are minor league.
He could play at Marshall. Cant be any worse than the bums they currently have. Fake a flop, take 50 shots, fake a heart attack, etc. Especially that overrated PG they have.
Please do not posture like you know more about WVU basketball than I do....
Teddy Allen was our 3rd string SF and our 4th string PF on a team that was short handed in size around the rim
We added 2 PF/Cs in our 2018 class and just signed anothe 6’8 former 5-Star guard who can play positions 1-4
There was no court time for Teddy Allen on this roster..... it’s no coincidence he asked for his release immediately after the Jermaine Haley signing and the Emmitt Matthews official visit was booked
Teddy is a D1 player and should do well wherever he ends up. Don't think he was going to get a lot of playing time with the existing forwards and recruits coming in. Huggins is building a conference and national contender and there will be turnover to address the weaknesses that we had last season. Offensive versatility and press Virginia defense are key. We have a strong recruiting class that should address this. Not sure Allen fit this mold.
Listen buddy that might make you feel good but only an amateur acts like you’re acting. Typical that you drag my point past the point of no return. You’ve trashed the point because your narrative apparently is that you know more about WVU than me. I have no question in my mind you know more about the team than I do. If I wanted to turn this into a brain pan thing with you I’d be talking about finance with you not solely All things WVU. This sadly is your life pal. Hope it lets you feed your kids.
My point and first post was that (IMO!!!!!!! Get it!) losing a kid that can play on this level is tough. I never posted once that Huggs sucks or Huggs can’t replace him or WVU is doomed or the kid is better than any player you mentioned. Bohemian said “Half of all McDonalds All Americans can’t play”. What would you emotionally say to him. Something like “stop posturing”? You may be right and the kid sucks at his next stop. Or the guys you post about end up in the NBA. None of that had anything to do with a minor point I made. Have a good weekend.
No one said Teddy Allen sucks
What was said was that he was recruited over with better, bigger talent
At the end of the day, he’s a 6’5 power forward with no ball handling (at this level) and no 3pt threat
We addressed our front court in 2018 and Allen was the weakest link.
Losing talent isn’t a negative when it is due to competition and the acquisition of talent
