As head coach Chris Beard once again scours the NCAA transfer portal for instant-impact talent, one emerging target is former Utah Valley Wolverines center Fardaws Aimaq, according to ESPN’s Jeff Borzello.
Arizona, Arkansas, Gonzaga, Houston, Iowa, Kentucky, Texas Tech and Washington are the other schools under consideration by the 6’11, 245-pounder who scored 18.9 points per game with 13.6 rebounds last season. Aimaq shot 43.5 percent from the three-point line, so he’s a big who is capable of stretching the court. With 185 free-throw attempts last season, Aimaq was in the top-50 nationally in fouls drawn per 40 minutes.
