Allen Betrand - 2020 Transfer Target

[SFspidur]

We've expressed interest in Allen Betrand, a 6'5" guard transferring out of Towson. Third-team all-CAA guy who averaged 13.6 points last year as a sophomore, taking on a much more significant role. Shot 44.1% from the field and 38.7% from three, and 88.6% from the line. Not a great A/TO ratio for a guard though.

He'd be a sit-one-play-two transfer, and he's trimmed his list to a pretty solid group of six. Says he'd like to commit on his birthday, which is apparently this Saturday.

This would be a nice get. I think the assist to turnover ratio may improve in our offense

I like the 6 finalists. Seems like we are competing for the right level talent.

Like this guy the more I see and read:
1) Strong guard, good athleticism and size
2) College Ready
3) Solid list of suitors
4) Shooter - Sman says: Take the shooter

these look like h.s. all star game highlights, we would be getting a guy more developed:

Nice article on Betrand.

Guess Betrand will be announcing at 4pm.

 

[spider23]

Hope this is us. Thinking Butler or Rhody, but have zero clue really.

 

[SFspidur]

Announcement pushed back to 4:30 apparently.

 

[spider23]

My people still in discussions with his people at 4:17. Hope to have something ironed out soon.

Not surprised. Looked at his old tweets and it looked like was a Rhode Island admirer. I guess we will get to see him soon enough. Welcome to the A10.

“Rhode Island university”...nice to see we’re not the only ones it happens to.

Called it for transfer U. Don’t sweat it 23 this one was in the bag for the rams.

Towson to Rhody academically seems about right.

Maybe we can get him in 2 years when he grad transfers out of Transfer U

He’s grad transferring to Rider.

Was thinking of him the other day. Honestly don't remember him at all at URI. I see year before this one had some very modest stats, was he injured this year, I don't see that he even played anywhere?

Seemed like would have been a good fit on our roster when he was transferring originally, probably not a good choice to go to a guard heavy URI roster with a shot first (Fatts) PG the first time around.

He missed the whole season with a knee injury, so he has two years of eligibility left.
