April 12, 200719 yr Does anyone else think this man had A LOT of talent and was one of the highest ranked players in his class, yet he never made it because of his attitude...He started over Tayshaun when they were freshman and always gave you some good minutes...For some reason he just popped in my head and I was wondering if anyone has heard anything about this guy???
April 12, 200719 yr He ended up at an NAIA school in Tennessee called Martin-Methodist. I watched him play at Pikeville or at Alice Lloyd (I can't really remember) and he was by far the best player on the court. I think he averaged close to 30 per game.
April 12, 200719 yr He's playing football, possible draft prospect I believe. He's out in South Dakota or Idaho or somewhere isn't he?
April 12, 200719 yr He's out in South Dakota or Idaho or somewhere isn't he? Tight end at South Dakota, a D II powerhouse. He might have graduated last year though, I'm not positive.
April 12, 200719 yr He was the first Student Athlete punished under the now-reduced Zero tolerance Alcohol policy, put in place after the DUI crash invoving football players Jason Watts that killed Artie Stienmetz and Scott Brock. Allison lost his scholarship for a year and tranfered from UK. Desmond and I weren't great friends, but I wouldn't say he had attitude problems his two years at UK from anything I heard. As a UK basketball fan, he was one of my favorite players.

April 12, 200719 yr A policy that was later changed to be much more lenient. Desmond Allison is the only one that was punished under that policy that did not return to their respective team after a year's punishment, and the only one that did not finish thier carrer, if not graduate from UK, as far as I know.
April 12, 200719 yr He was a good athlete but he probably should have chose football out of HS, never thought he was a true hoopster.
April 12, 200719 yr I always thought he should have went with football. Too strong and athletic not too.

If I recall corectly, I think Desmond lost his scholarship totally, not just for one year. Then the policy was changed to a one year suspension at a later date. It was Jules who had to sit 1 year, I don't think Desmond had a choice. Again I'm doing this on memory so I'm not totally sure.

About a week or so later, Jeremy Bowie(Football) also got a DUI, and lost the scholarship for a year. He finished up at UK in 2001.
