Looks like he's coming with Coach Pope. Would be an excellent veteran piece to add to the roster.
Aly Khalifa enters transfer portal with "do not contact" tag
- Thread starter P-Pat4Pres
- Start date
Things possibly may be working out better than expected. As I will repeatedly say, Time will tell. Hope this proves the intent.
Robinson, Hall, Khalifa and maybe Avila will all end up at UK.
This guy should be no more than a rotation piece on a legitimate team trying to compete. Should not be someone getting significant mins
He's big and slow... not sure about his defense. But... he can certainly pass the ball, and he knows Pope's offense.
Yeah, I think this one’s already signed, sealed and delivered to UK.
I just hope he’s willing to accept a lesser role here than he had at BYU.

Some of you guys damn…. Trust in the coach…
We need guys that know the system already. This is good. Again, next year isn’t about a F4 or bust. It’s about replicating similar results to this season in the ref season. Winning a game or 3 in the NCAAT and SECT. Prioritizing winning by playing the best team over getting guys struggling back on track to get drafted. And ultimately doing enough in year one to be taken serious on the recruiting trail and portal in year 2. That there isn’t a fall off the cliff moment.
A dude like this lets others learn the system without the immediate pressure to perform.
He's not a volume scorer but he can pass the ball and is good enough from 3 points land to stretch defenses. He'd be a good bench player.
Robinson is legit
Boy does this sound familiar.Trust in Cal.....
He's got an all around game and is an excellent passer.
All these BYU dudes want out of that virtue contract. Haha
These guys might need a curfew and chaperones to help them to adjust haha
It will be good to get Wiz's little brother on the team.
Need some glue guys, seems like he could fit that role well.
Robinson is good, this guy in this thread isn’t a UK player. Not an exciting start if this is one of the first players that comes
Good passer, High IQ, and can knock down 3s at 6’11”
Not really athletic, slower side, and no clue defensively.
Pope is going to bring in guys that fit his system. Probably going to look a bit diff than what we’re used to especially the bigs.

You have to love an offense where even 6-11/270 pound centers are expected to and are capable of shooting the three. Big Z really needs to hang around. He is a much better fit in Pope's offense than Calipari's.
I expect Jaxson Robinson and Dallin Hall to both be Wildcats. They are both really good players. I don’t know Khalifa as well, to be honest.

Read that Pope should bring 5 of his guys with him. Thought there might be a couple but not five. Anxious to get some sharpshooters out of the portal while they are available.
Can shoot for a big guy. He and Z could be a dynamic duo next season.
You get 13 scholarships. They all aren't going to be studs.
He is big and a role player and not a skinny freshman that can’t survive the rigors of the sec. Do you ever have anything positive to say? Geez.
Have you watch them play? AK better than any big we had . He and Z could be dynamite together.
I hope Khalifa won’t be in rotation if he comes. I really don’t want more than 1-2 from BYU
Apparently he’s a fantastic passer for a 6’11” center, which will be a nice thing to have.
I think his problem will be defense. He just looks like one of those lumbering bigs just too damn slow to be a decent defender. Especially in the SEC.
Gotta keep in mind that BYU finished tied for 5th with Kansas in the B12. Sometimes I subconsciously associate these guys/BYU as a mid-major but they have been competing against the best.
Khalifa is a critical piece for the offense. Great passer, great IQ, and he screens up top as well as anyone at this level. He's also proficient enough at shooting that you can't leave him out there. Defense and lateral quickness are weakness from what I saw.
I would love to finally use all 13 too instead of walk ons that never contribute
