Kentucky<\/a> forward Mouhamed Dioubate<\/a> has committed to LSU<\/a> out of the NCAA transfer portal<\/a>, On3 has learned. Dioubate spent the last year with the Wildcats.<\/p>\n

Previously, he had suited up for Alabama<\/a> for two seasons before transferring within the SEC. He had his most productive season to date at Kentucky.<\/p>\n

Mouhamed Dioubate logged 10 starts in 31 appearances. He averaged a career-high 8.8 points, while also chipping in 5.5 rebounds per game. He also perfectly averaged an assist, a block and a steal per game.<\/p>\n

While Dioubate had shown some ability to drift out to 3-point range during his final season at Alabama, he was far less effective in that capacity at Kentucky. He shot 46.2% from 3-point range on 26 attempts at Alabama in 2024-25, but his percentage dipped to 21.4% on 28 attempts at Kentucky in 2025-26.<\/p>\n

Regardless, he\u2019s a high-motor player who checks in at 6 foot 7, 220 pounds. He should be a strong fit for new LSU coach Will Wade<\/a>\u2018s system.<\/p>\n

Mouhamed Dioubate turned in arguably his best game of the season in an NCAA Tournament opener against Santa Clara<\/a>. He recorded 17 points, eight rebounds, three blocks, an assist and a steal.<\/p>\n

That was the 11th performance on the season in which Dioubate logged a double-digit scoring outing. He twice reached the 20-point mark, including with a 20-and-11 double-double against Eastern Illinois<\/a> early in the year.<\/p>\n

The talented Mouhamed Dioubate recorded two double-doubles during the 2025-26 season. Both came early in the year. Interestingly enough, those two games were the only games in which Dioubate reached double figures rebounding, though he was close a few other times.<\/p>\n

Prior to enrolling at Alabama, Mouhamed Dioubate was ranked as a four-star prospect and the No. 99 overall recruit in his class. He checked in as the No. 23 small forward and the No. 4 overall player from his state.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Kentucky forward Mouhamed Dioubate has committed to LSU out of the NCAA transfer portal, On3 has learned.
