Dontaie Allen, a four-star in-state prospect, announced on Thursday that he has committed to Kentucky.

Allen was one of the breakout prospects of this July recruiting period, a 6-foot-6 scoring machine that has gone from the fringes of the top 100 to finding a place somewhere in the top 50 of most rankings.

He joins five-star prospect Tyrese Maxey as Kentucky’s two commitments in the Class of 2019 following Monday’s decommitment by D.J. Jeffries.
