BYU guard Dallin Hall reportedly entered the transfer portal Friday just hours after Cougars coach Mark Pope officially departed to be the new head man at Kentucky.

Hall averaged 9.0 points and 5.1 assists in 34 games (30 starts) this season, BYU's first in the Big 12. He knocked down 52 3-pointers and had 34 steals.

In two seasons with the Cougars, Hall averaged 8.2 points and 4.1 assists.

Pope has to build a roster at Kentucky so it wouldn't be a surprise if Hall ends up in Lexington.

A native of Plain City, Utah, Hall certainly could return to Provo depending on who becomes BYU's new coach.
