Rhody lands Towson transfer Allen Betrand

By ADAM ZAGORIA

Rhode Island coach David Cox continued his offseason makeover on Saturday with the addition of Towson transfer Allen Betrand.

The 6-foot-5 sophomore will sit one year to play two. He averaged 13.6 and 2.7 rebounds last season with the Tigers.

He chose the Rams over Butler, DePaul, Dayton, Minnesota and Richmond.

Rhody also added Malik Martin and the Mitchell twins via transfer.

Cox’s recruiting class includes point guard Tres Berry, point guard Elijah Wood and small forward Ishmael Leggett.
