Khalif Battle – 6’5 – Guard – Temple

Another high-level guard seems to be coming off the board soon.

Former 4⭐️ and Temple transfer G Khalif Battle has received a transfer prediction to Arkansas from On3.

Arkansas, and Eric Musselman, continue to, seemingly, offer every guard in the transfer portal. After losing Keyon Menifield to the Razorbacks, I’m sure Louisville fans would be ready to go to war with Fayetteville, if they got Battle, as well.

Battle visited UCF last week and Arkansas on Thursday. So far, there has been no news reported of Battle visiting with the Louisville coaching staff. Battle is ranked as a consensus top-15 player in the transfer portal, so it would be great to land him, but it’s looking unlikely, at this point.
