BYU Basketball Makes the Cut for Utah Transfer Alfonso Plummer
According to Illiniguys, Utah transfer Alfonso Plummer is down to six potential transfer destinations. BYU is in the mix alongside Florida, Kansas, Illinois, Georgia, and Marquette. According to Plummer, he will announce his transfer decision this weekend.
BYU is up against five college basketball bluebloods to land Plummer's services. While basketball recruits don't typically choose BYU over the likes of Kansas and Illinois, Mark Pope has recruited Plummer well enough to merit consideration.
Last season, Plummer played in 25 games for the Utes. He averaged 13.6 points per game, 1.0 assists per game, and 2.2 rebounds per game. Most importantly, he shot 40% from three. Plummer's ability to hit from deep and create his own shot have made him one of BYU's top transfer targets.
Another one of BYU basketball's top transfer targets will announce his decision this week. Mike Saunders Jr., a transfer out of Cincinnati, will announce his college decision on Thursday. Saunders Jr. entered the transfer portal when BYU was in Indianapolis for the NCAA tournament - he has been one of BYU's top priorities ever since. Saunders prepped at Wasatch Academy with fellow BYU signees Richie Saunders, Caleb Lohner, and Fousseyni Traore. He was a four-star recruit in the 2020 recruiting class.
