Article: Aly Khalifa Down To Final Two Schools, Set To Visit Gainesville

His defensive rating is surprisingly good (given that he doesn't look like the most explosive athlete). 99.5 points allowed per 100 possessions when he is on the court. That is really good. His offensive rating is also solid (117.6 points per 100 possessions), but that is less surprising when you see his shooting efficiency, including from 3, and passing ability, which leads to great spacing and more opportunities for his teammates as well. I would guess a lot of that defensive ability comes from rebounding. He struggled shooting against FAU, but did outrebound their over 7 foot center 10-5.

Come on Ali, be part of the twin towers, be famous!

 

I haven't seen anything on Khalifa or Samuel after they both visited this weekend.

Bueller? Bueller?

 

Khalifa picked BYU

 

Yep, thanks for the heads up

Charlotte Transfer Aly Khalifa Commits to BYU

 

Wow...BYU?

Ok...good luck to him.

 

Word from the inside is Samual committed and we passed on Aly

 

Trust the coaches, but damn

 

my son works at UNCC and works with the athletes and his quote is Aly is soft as Angel Soft toilet paper. Can shoot and has moments but got pushed around a lot. We wanted Samuels first and Aly knew he was the backup coming in.

 

In addition to all the great information here on BYU’s push for Egyptian born Khalifa, the Deseret News announced the day before that the BYU women’s team had just signed Egyptian center Jana Sallman.

 

Did they do this for them when they toured?

 

I guess we couldn't have both. Best of luck to Khalifa
