    Seth Allen is transferring from Maryland to join new Virginia Tech head coach Buzz Williams.

    Jon Rothstein of CBSSports.com was the first to report the news.

    Allen averaged 13.4 points per game for the Terrapins this past season, shooting 38 percent from deep.

    Allen will join Justin Bibbs, Ahmed Hill, and Jalen Hudson, creating one of the most formidable backcourts in the ACC when he becomes eligible after ‘sitting a year.’

    Hill was previously committed to Marquette, and followed Williams to Virginia Tech. 

    Boston College on Saturday landed a verbal pledge from 6-foot-11, 235-pound Los Angeles Cathedral big man Idrissa Diallo, a former Cal commit.

    Diallo decommitted from Cal after the coaching change that brought in Cuonzo Martin.

    “It’s a legit opportunity to play the four spot in the ACC with a coach [Jim Christian] that’s committed to him and his ongoing development,” Cathedral coach William Middlebrooks told SNY.tv by phone. “He understands where he is, where he’s trying to go and I think he’s genuinely committed to help him going there.”

    Malik MonkMalik Monk, a 6-foot-3, 175-pound 2016 shooting guard out of Lepanto (AR) East Poinsett County High School, tripped to SMU unofficially on Friday.

    His brother, Marcus Monk, told SNY.tv that a handful of schools are in the mix for Malik, ranked the No. 3 shooting guard in the Class of 2016 by 247 Sports.

    Arkansas, Baylor, Florida, Indiana, Kansas, Memphis, SMU and UConn are working the hardest, Marcus said.

    “They all offered,” he said. “We have no visits scheduled. We’re not really in a hurry to start visiting. It’s still early in the process.”
