BYU Basketball Recruiting Notebook, 5/27

After Jake Wahlin officially committed to Utah, BYU has one open scholarship to fill for the upcoming season. I expect BYU to add a forward/front court player with the remaining spot. BYU’s front court players consists of Fousseyni Traore, Atiki Ally Atiki, Noah Waterman, and Aly Khalifa. Khalifa and Fouss are probably your two starters at the 4 and 5 and can complement well each other offensively, but I worry about how they pair together on the defensive end. Neither moves well laterally and would struggle against mobile fours.

With the last spot, I would like BYU to target a four man that can move well and rebound the ball — someone that can play the 3 and 4 or 4 and 5 spots.
