2. Aly Khalifa (Senior; 6-10, 255)

One former BYU player who is probably the closest to making a decision is Aly Khalifa.

Khalifa entered the transfer portal last week and quickly announced a final three of Kentucky, Louisville and a return to BYU.

Khalifa averaged 5.7 points, 3.7 rebounds and 4.0 assists per game last season in 29 appearances. He had 26 starts. 

His per-40 minute per game numbers were eye-popping. Those averages were 11.7 points, 7.6 rebounds and 8.2 assists per game. 

His assist-to-turnover ratio was 4.0 to 1.1.

Khalifa is an extremely verstatile forward who has a lot of experience on the college stage. He's a must-take if you're Mark Pope because of all the different skills he brings to the floor.
