Report: Kentucky’s Mouhamed Dioubate Set to Enter Transfer Portal
The timing pressures Kentucky with the NCAA opening a 15-day transfer window.
Overview
- On3, as reported by Yahoo Sports, says Dioubate intends to enter the NCAA transfer portal ahead of the April 7 opening, with no formal confirmation yet.
- The 6-foot-7 forward averaged 8.8 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 2.0 combined steals and blocks in 21.6 minutes this season, shooting 54.2% from the field and 21.4% from three.
- He would be the second Wildcat to hit the portal after guard Jaland Lowe, increasing the roster work facing coach Mark Pope this offseason.
- Dioubate transferred to Kentucky last offseason after two years at Alabama, where he contributed to the Crimson Tide’s 2024–25 Elite Eight run.
- The men’s basketball portal is open April 7–21 under a new 15-day window, and players do not have to pick a new school by April 21, which shapes how quickly programs pursue visits and roles.
