They are both from Senegal, but beyond that nothing is on the net. No listing for children by Jules and no listing on parents for the Louisville prospect. I would imagine if there was a connection it would have come out or it will when the season starts.
Aly Khalifa Ineligible Rumor; Louisville Fan Thinks Mark Pope is Behind It
- Thread starter jgodek
- Start date
I am familiar with it. Here is what you’re missing. Redshirt isn’t really a thing. You have 5 years to play 4. Khalifa already took a redshirt year. This was his 5th year sitting out. His clock has expired. If he was healthy he should have played. The NCAA must now grant him a waiver for the 6th year. It doesn’t look good if he was practicing at full speed but not playing. That waiver may be denied. UL should not have had him practicing if applying for a waiver.
As usual, like I said they were trying to bend the rules. His five year clock is up. If healthy he needed to take the floor.
Keep him off the floor, say his injury was too great and apply for the waiver. That gives you the best chance to be successful.

I could see the issue with that too. The word back in April of 2024 was that he was getting his knee scoped, which is a rather non-invasive kind of knee surgery. Now the Courier Journal is saying he had a hole in his cartilage and had a second surgery in July of 2024, which didn't clear him until January of 2025. It's fine if that's the case, but the timelines should have been spelled out better when it happened. I don't doubt that is what Khalifa is banking on.
Secondly, the academic ineligibility aspect of his initial year could keep him out, even if it was the covid year.
They’re going to have to ignore the rules or have the rules invalidated for him to be eligible. Basically they will have to say that his first redshirt was for reasons beyond his control even though the rules specifically say academic ineligibility does not qualify as something beyond his control.
Its also possible that his medical redshirt is screwed up for the reasons you say, but he needs to have missed two years due to reasons beyond his control and according to the rules the 2020-21 year does not qualify.
That's not accurate though. He was academically ineligible his first year. If he redshirted, he would still have that year as it was the covid free pass season. That would put him in the same situation as Kerr Krissa, who did redshirt during the covid year, and took a medical redshirt this past season.
Exactly. It does suck for Khalifa though. I heard he had got in really good shape during his time off.
He planned to redshirt at the time he committed to Louisville.

If Scum U would have not tried to bend the rules his waiver would probably have been granted. Like I said, if he’s ineligible I hope every school uses it in recruiting.
Come to UL. Where we will look out for your best interest. Unless we can cheat and get away with it.
It’s technically called an academic redshirt. Basically you’re on scholarship but can’t play in games. Still academically ineligible, not qualifying as something beyond his control under the rules and not qualifying for the Covid year.
Yeah, good catch. I just trying to say that it counts against eligibility. Similar to guys like Walter McCarty and Cliff Hawkins, who had to sit out.
You actually do have to produce contemporaneous records to provide objective evidence supporting the claim that a player could not play due to injury for the NCAA to rely upon in granting a waiver. And you also need a second missed year for reasons beyond control.
This is absolutely wrong if you’re seeking a medical waiver. The burden of proof is on the school applying for a waiver to present medical evidence establishing that the player was incapable of playing for the requisite number of games.
If you can’t provide that evidence …well, then tough shit for you.
He does not meet the criteria as has been explained a hundred times. Maybe they will choose to cut him a break or will be made to cut him a break, but that’s what he needs.
This is what Kalifa must get a waiver. Having him practicing at full speed, while applying for a waiver saying he couldn’t play that year was stupidity. I don’t know what this kids problems were but I bet he didn’t practice full speed for 2 months the way it’s rumored UL did.
You are the first person I have read that said the u6 kid practiced at full speed for 2 months. Where did you find this?
All I read is that he was cleared to practice. Does cleared to practice mean full speed, full court? Does cleared to practice mean the athlete shooting the ball with a trainer rebounding for him and observing his mobility?
It was in an article someone posted about the NCAA looking into it. They did say allegations that he practiced for extended time. I take that as UL was trying to hide it. Just past events as far as U6 is concerned.
I guess I shouldn’t assume they are cheating….. wait, of course they are always trying to cheat. Right behind Tennessee.
Wow. I just went back and tried to pull up the article. It says this can no longer be viewed. ???

In college basketball, "cleared to practice" is not the same as "cleared to play."
Here's the distinction:
- Cleared to Practice
This means a player has been approved (medically and/or academically) to participate in team practices. However, it doesn't necessarily mean they can play in official games. - Cleared to Play
This indicates the player is fully eligible to participate in official games. This clearance involves:- Medical clearance
- Academic eligibility
- NCAA eligibility (especially for transfers, freshmen, or those coming off a suspension or redshirt)
You have to understand that Blue-ish is a UL troll posing as a UK fan. In other words...not too bright.
It is to be expected that five pages of dialogue will attract a maroon.
Congrats on identifying yourself. LOL.

This has already been brought up. Kalifa is out of eligibility and must get a waiver to play. He’s been in college 5 years. It will be a decision based on facts. Him practicing with a title cleared to practice but not play hurts him if he had that for extended time. That means he probably could have played last year but chose not to. They don’t have to approve his waiver in any case, let alone with those circumstances.
It was stupidity if UL had him practicing in that situation for extended time. The waiver is not automatic.
They probably knew that but can’t help but try to cheat to gain an advantage. If he was healthy enough to play last year he should have played. His waiver is now in jeopardy.
If I’m not mistaken Kerr is in the same boat. People said 6 week recovery, He maybe could be back for tournament. If he came back, he couldn’t have played this year. Just speculation but he was the first in the portal the day it opened. Maybe he was healthy enough to come back but wanted another year of NIL. Pope said not at UK if you can’t help us now in the tournament. Just thought it was strange he was first in. I’ll bet he wasn’t practicing with our team tho if he was healthy enough .

Covid year plus two years of medical hardship under the rules. I believe they would allow Khalifa his medical hardship for last year, but he doesn’t have a second year that qualifies as missing a season for reasons beyond his control. They will have to make an exception for him to play.
It is funny how hard you are arguing this point and how hard you want this dude to play.. You mention in another thread how you are not a U6 troll, but after seeing your remarks in this thread your argument does not hold water. Go back to your ghost town boards and quit bringing ours down to loserville level.
Nobody is gonna argue that much about a rival player unless they're some sort of fan for said rival school.. 🤷🏻♂
He will help them immensely. They were pretty unproven down low.
I think they are a Sweet Sixteen team, maybe Elite Eight. They’ll run through the ACC (except for Duke), have a great record, and a high seed. And Kelsey is a good coach. They are fairly deep as well.
We are better (on paper), but they are pretty solid.
