Former Kentucky Wildcats guard Dontaie Allen, now a standout at Wyoming, is doing his part to recruit his current teammate, Obi Agbim, to Lexington.

Agbim, who recently announced his intentions to enter the transfer portal, is drawing plenty of attention from top programs after a breakout season with the Cowboys.

Allen took to Instagram to recruit Agbim by posting a GIF of himself in a Kentucky jersey, followed by a separate comment with a heart emoji and the phrase “La Familia.”

The gesture shows Allen’s continued love for the Wildcats and his desire to see Agbim join the Big Blue Nation.

Former Kentucky Wildcat and current Wyoming guard Dontaie Allen is actively working to recruit Wyoming transfer guard Obi Agbim to join the Wildcats.

Agbim had an impressive campaign at Wyoming, averaging 17.6 points per game on 46.9% shooting from the field and a remarkable 43.7% from beyond the arc. The 6-foot-3, 180-pound guard also contributed 3.4 assists, 3.2 rebounds, and 1.1 steals per game.

Known for his sharpshooting ability, Agbim took six 3-point attempts per game and connected at an elite rate. His efficient scoring and perimeter prowess make him an attractive option for any team looking to add firepower.

Allen, who spent three seasons at Kentucky from 2019-22, knows all too well the intensity and expectations of wearing the Wildcat blue and white. Now at Wyoming, Allen remains passionate about his Kentucky roots and sees potential in bringing Agbim to Lexington. With head coach Mark Pope favoring a system built around high-volume shooters, Agbim’s ability to stretch the floor could be a perfect fit for the Wildcats.

Allen’s push to get Agbim to consider Kentucky shows his continued pride in the program.

Whoever lands Agbim will be gaining a dynamic shooter who can help space the floor and provide an instant offensive boost.
