Former Michigan State guard Allen Iowa State-bound
AMES, Iowa -- Former Michigan State guard Chris Allen says he plans to enroll at Iowa State this fall and begin playing basketball for the Cyclones starting in the 2011-12 season.
Allen says Iowa State felt like the right place to finish his college career.
He says coach Fred Hoiberg and the Iowa State coaching staff can help him continue pursuing his dream of playing in the NBA.
Earlier this month, Michigan State announced Allen wouldn't return to the Spartans for the 2010-11 season.
Allen started 27 games and averaged 8 points a game last season for the Spartans, who made it the NCAA tournament's Final Four.
In a statement, Michigan State coach Tom Izzo calls Iowa State "a great fit" for Allen and wishes him "nothing but the best."
