Chris Allen follows Royce White to Iowa State

Iowa State is turning into a nice landing spot for troubled players.

First, it was Royce White. White spent a semester at Minnesota, but never saw the court as a result of some legal issues. He eventually left Minnesota, and earlier this month Fred Hoiberg, the new head coach at Iowa State, landed the former five-star recruit.

Today, Hoiberg landed another high-profile transfer from the Big Ten.

Chris Allen, the two-guard that was kicked off the Michigan State team just two weeks ago by Tom Izzo, announced today that he, too, would be taking his talents to Ames, IA.

Allen won't be eligible until the 2011-2012 season, and many believe the same to be true for White. But if Hoiberg can last the year, he will have a pretty good duo to begin to build a program around.
