Allie Fullah Headed to Charleston Southern

By Sam Neter on May 8, 2012

Former Great Britain Under-20 Allie Fullah has signed to NCAA Division 1 school Charleston Southern.

Fullah, a 6’8”, 235 lb. forward/center (with a 7’2″ wingspan!), is a JUCO transfer having spent the last two seasons at College of Central Florida – averaging 8 points, 6 rebounds, and 2 blocks per game while serving as team captain this season.

Talking to Hoopsfix about finally getting a chance to play D1, Fullah is excited:

“It feels like I’ve been waiting for this opportunity for a long time. If you know my story you know that I was supposed to play at UNH 3 years ago. This past season would have been my junior year there, but things didn’t work out that way. Being able to go up against some of the best players in college basketball is something I look forward to. I feel like I’m ready for the rigour of it all both physically and mentally – two years at a Florida juco will do that to you!”

Head coach Barclay Radebaugh is looking forward to having Allie as part of the programme:

“We are thrilled to add Allie to our basketball program. We set out this year to recruit some size inside to add to a talented returning group. We wanted a player who could play at our fast pace, defend a center, rebound effectively, and score in the post and from 15 feet. We accomplished our goals with Allie.”

Fullah won back to back conference championships with College of Central Florida, making it to the state finals this year before losing to the eventual national JUCO runners up Northwest Florida. He has been a starter as both a freshman and sophomore. He will have two years of eligibility remaining at Charleston Southern.

Hoopsfix wants to wish Allie all the best with his D1 experience!

Do you like our work?

We have a tiny favour to ask. In 2018 we set out to make Hoopsfix sustainable by building our relationship directly with our readers. Up until now, Hoopsfix has been creating editorials, videos and podcasts to provide sorely missing coverage of the British game and its distinct culture and community.

We have funded Hoopsfix with our freelance work creating basketball media, but sadly that means not only does it fall behind our client’s priorities, but some of those clients are the same organisations we need to report objectively on putting us in a conflicted position.

We want to devote more time to our mission of helping British basketball reach its potential, and produce even more content for the basketball community by making Hoopsfix a sustainable 100% independent business funded directly by our readers through Patreon.

If everyone who enjoys our content chose to support us, our future would be much more secure. For as little as $3 per month, you can support Hoopsfix – and it only takes a minute.

We are tremendously honoured and humbled to have a community of people who value what we do, and we look forward to being at the forefront of the British game as it continues to evolve.
