Already was, they recruited Bol Bowen from FSU. Bowen was a guy we were involved with but this seemed to work.
Mouhamed Dioubate commits to UK!
- Thread starter BlueBloodKyFan73
- Start date
I love this add. The staff has done a good job at finding players that fit roles and not just adding somebody because of portal rankings

Hopefully he can teach the toughness gene to other teammates
Bingo, he is a all hustle team type of player
Don't worry, we're used to that.
Really like the pickup. Starting to get a bit worried about shooting though
That is somewhat true but there are still programs with built in continuity and I think that is what Pope is doing. We returned 5 quality dudes that could have easily entered the portal this year. There is so much money and fame surrounding the UK basketball program that it's hard to leave unless it's for the NBA (or because Cal recruited over you in the past).
The JAMES LEE of 2025-27. That is what he is. Guy is tough as nails.
Want to know what kind of tough rebounder he is? How about 16 against Houston this year. That tells me all I need to know.
Yeah we probably won't return everyone, but we won't lose anyone who earned an important role. Will always lose a couple guys who get buried and need to transfer for minutes.
no, he’s not explosive. he’s a solid player though and will play a lot. it’s a big get.
As a Kentucky fan, Dioubate absolutely crushed my spirit during the Alabama games. I mean, they’d send a starter to the bench and I’d think, ok, Cats, now go on a run. And then Dioubate would just slam the door. Honestly, it was one of the few moments this season when I felt like there was a whole tier of basketball above our current roster. In our SEC tournament game he had 13 pts and 8 rebounds in 22 minutes. Let this beast loose!
Per 32 minutes averages:
14.4 ppg 11.8 rpg 2.2 apg
61.7 fg% 46.2 3P%
made 8/9 vs Vandy, 8/10 vs RMU, 7/9 vs ARK, 5/5 vs Florida, 5/6 vs UK.

He fouls like crazy. His foul rate is 6.4 per 40 in SEC play. I see him coming off the bench due to his fouling. He is very athletic reminds me of some Cal guys.
Please get Yates he would easily be our best pick up. That kid is legit good.
I love that kid's energy. Pay attention, BG. That's how you get after it.
Depth. Alvaro is a must get now.
I posted that nickname earlier today when the chatter was getting more serious. If that's the real coach's account I'll just take some tickets next year. lol

They must've all been against us bc I feel like that's all he did lol
Folgueiras and Yates might be as well. I'd be really happy with either scenario.
It’s troubling that is wanting to take “several visits “ though.
Brea played about double the minutes as well. But get what you are saying.
Not if he’s not a dunker. James Lee damn near tore the rims off.
After this year's debacle "with dunk the ball". I'm sure it will be fresh on the staffs mind. Just a thoughtNot if he’s not a dunker. James Lee damn near tore the rims off.
