Aly Khalifa not JQ

Why is he redshirting?
Has knee issues.. all last season I believe.. rumor is he is having knee surgery, and will be taking a year to rehab. Probably why Pope didn't pursue him... and also think Pope has his sights on some higher level players.
 
sure makes UL fans feel pretty good though doesn't it.

We stole a player from Kentucky!

no, you stole a player from BYU, who was injured and is redshirting.

Khalifa is an excellent passer. He's got skills, he just needs to lose weight. His game reminds me of Burns from NC State a bit. He's redshirting, so he's got a year to get in shape. It might be a good pick up for Louisville.
 
Aly Khalifa going from BYU to Louisville is kind of funny. He's gone from having to abstain from sex to land of the hookers, wow, a drastic change coming for the big guy.
 
Only thing that’s not a good look is this thread for OP. What’s it contributing other than trolling. Took a nugget of info that he didn’t no squat about and tried to spin at as a negative. BEGOK!
 
He's hurt. Sitting out a year. Not good enough. Fans would have bitched and moaned if he took up a scholarship.

The fact that he didn't come to UK says more about him not being UK caliber for a coach who desperately needs to put together a competitive roster than anything else, IMO.
 
Khalifa is out of shape and doesn't have the scoring ability or athleticism to not get eaten alive in the SEC. He was a complete liability on defense last year at BYU. The fast offenses in the SEC would shred him. Nothing against Aly personally. At all. He just does not have what it takes to be a starter here, and maybe not to even be in the 8-man rotation.

Amari and Osobor, separately, are infinitely better prospects for us.

Typically when a player isn’t UK material, they typically end up at a school that’s a better fit for them. Some people are acting like Pope came from UCONN or Houston or whatever, instead of BYU! BYU is the HARDEST P5 (or otherwise) program to recruit to, by a large margin.

For every 500-1000 recruits, there’s maybe 1-2 that would even consider BYU, and that’s if they are already Mormons!
