Entering the offseason, Mark Pope said physicality was something the Kentucky staff would really focus on, and they answered that need in a big way on Monday evening after getting a commitment from Alabama transfer big man Mo Dioubate.

After Alabama basketball's loss to Duke in Newark, Mouhamed Dioubate told the Tuscaloosa News that he was in search of a starting spot.

Another name to keep an eye on is Alabama’s Mouhamed Dioubate, who announced he was headed to the transfer portal. Per Kentucky Sports Radio’s Jacob Polacheck, the Cats met with Dioubate over Zoom this past weekend and expect a quick decision from their former SEC foe sometime early this week.
