Recruiting Report: Trevon Allfrey (2019)
Copper Hills has one of the best 2019s in Utah, and 6-foot-6 combo-forward Trevon Allfrey could just be scratching the surface.
He currently holds one offer from Salt Lake Community College — he’s got some connections there. And other area programs are starting to recognize his versatility and potential.
“I’ve gone to camps for Dixie State, Southern Utah and Utah Valley State. And I’ve heard I have calls and text messages from Dixie State and Westminster,” said Allfrey, who elaborated on his SLCC offer.
“The head coach there coaches our 17U team for Utah Basketball Club, and he also played college basketball with my dad. I’ve known him for several years.”
Versatility is the name of the game for Allfrey, who plays primarily post for his high school team, but mixes it up a bit more for his grassroots team, UBC.
“I think one of my strengths is that I can post up bigger and smaller guys, and when that doesn’t work, I can take them out on the wing and take them off the dribble,” he said.
“It just depends on the size of the guy guarding me, or if I’m having an off shooting game, I’ll stay down low. If it’s tough down low, I’ll go outside a little bit more.”
With Utah Basketball Club 16U this spring and summer, Allfrey — Utah’s 15th-ranked 2019 — says he worked mostly on his quickness, and defense.
“I thought things went really well. I had several colleges come out to watch, and I had a lot of fun,” said Allfrey.
“I really focused on getting faster and quicker on the defensive end of it, mostly. So I could help the helper and get blocked shots, things like that.”
As his junior season draws near, Allfrey mentioned that his role with increase from last season, and he’s looking to dominate this winter for the Grizzles.
“My role this year is going to be a little bit bigger than last year, we’ll have to have someone to pick up some scoring slack. And I’ll have to be a monster in the paint, because we don’t have a backup big,” he said.
“I want to get a lot more rebounds than I did last year, I want to average 10. And then get two or three blocks per game.”
As for his recruitment, Allfrey still has two high school seasons and one big 17U offseason left for it to materialize. But he still has his ambitions set.
“My biggest goal is to get my school paid for, anyway that can happen would be great,” he said. “And if I have several places to choose from, I’ll go to the place that fits best with me academically, and athletically.”
