Well here is the 2nd free agent signing after the Diggins, Gafney and Floyd waiver deals !
A little more on Alleyne ( maybe behind the paywall ?)----
“I just want to win the Big East and the national championship,” he said. “Those are the only two goals for me, and to get better. I just want to win, get better and have fun.”
“I’m a guy that likes to shoot a lot of mid-range shots,” he said. “I can handle the ball. I think I’m a little better defensively......”
“My biggest strength is my defense,” Alleyne said. “I’ve always been a guy that’s better defensively than offensively when I was younger. As I got older, I got better with offense and whatnot. I’m a guy that communicates, good on the ball and good team defensive player. I feel like I have a good feel for defense.”
This past season at Virginia Tech, Alleyne averaged 9.6 points, 2.8 rebounds and 1.5 assists and shot 37.3% from 3-point line and helped lead the No. 7 seeded Hokies upset Duke 82-67 to win the ACC Tournament title in March, but he was ready for a new challenge.
“I felt, personally, it was time to go,” he said. “I needed to start a new chapter in my life. It was nothing personal. I still have mad love for the players and coaches.”
“Schools even reached out to his father, Daryl, in an attempt to recruit Nahiem.....Everybody called, man,” Daryl said. “Florida State. Illinois. Georgia. Georgia Tech. Kansas State. North Texas. Seton Hall. I missed a bunch of calls and texts. It got to be a lot.”
>>>Nahiem Alleyne couldn’t believe what was happening. He looked at his phone screen, saw the 860 area code flash on the screen and quickly picked up the phone. The 6-foot-4 junior guard from Virginia Tech listened intently to the voice on the other end, his eyes lit up and his mind began to wander with possibilities.<<<
