Allen—a dynamic, 6-foot-4 guard—has seen his stock soar over the course of the past year with a strong junior campaign. The Jacksonville-area product has the ability to play both the point guard and shooting guard positions. The news of an offer being extended from the Duke camp does not come as a surprise to the fans who follow recruiting closely. Allen already held a bevy of scholarship offers from high major programs, and there have been rumblings about Duke's interest in Allen escalating over the past few months.
Here are some highlights of Allen:
