Teddy Allen sure feels like a Chris Jans’ era New Mexico State player and, as of last week, that’s exactly what he is.
Last Tuesday, the Nebraska transfer announced he would transfer to the Aggies, giving the program a big shot in the arm ahead of a fascinating season. Allen brings an impressive pedigree to Las Cruces after averaging 16.5 points and 4.7 rebounds in the Big Ten as the highest usage player on it must be said an overall underwhelming Huskers team.
Nonetheless, that proven production will be welcome on an Aggies’ team that will have plenty of new faces. The team has seen eight departures, the most recent being starting point guard Evan Gilyard, who entered the transfer portal two days after the Allen announcement. That Jans was able to land Allen perhaps shouldn’t come as a surprise since it feels a bit familiar.

Gator Exodus Continues, White Rebuilding Through Portal
The Gators are no stranger to the heavy influx of players in the college basketball transfer portal this year. Locke became the third out of four Gators in the portal to choose his new destination so far. Last week, Omar Payne announced his commitment to Illinois, and Osayi Osifo committed to be one of former Gator assistant Jordan Mincy’s first recruits at Jacksonville. Locke’s decision leaves Ques Glover as the only former Gator in the portal still currently without public plans for next season.
