Alabama Basketball: Mouhamed Dioubate commits to Tide, Nate Oats

Putnam (Conn.) Science Academy four-star recruit Mouhamed Dioubate tells On3 he’s committed to Alabama.

Dioubate, a 6-foot-7 class of 2023 small forward, ultimately chose the Crimson Tide over Maryland, Virginia Tech, Wake Forest, and Kansas State. He also received offers from Ohio State, St. John’s, Oklahoma, Pittsburgh, and others.

The Queens, New York native is Alabama’s fourth commitment to the 2023 class. He joins four-star guard Davin Cosby Jr. (No. 96), four-star forward Sam Walters (No. 98), and three-star guard R.J. Johnson (No. 196).

Dioubate is the No. 101 overall prospect in the 2023 class, according to the On3 Consensus, the average ranking from all four major recruiting media companies. He’s also the No. 20 small forward and the No. 4 player in the state of Connecticut. On3’s evaluators are higher on Dioubate, ranking him 87th overall in the class.

Mouhamed Dioubate on his commitment to Alabama

“I chose Alabama because it was the best decision for me and my family,” Dioubate said to On3. “I enjoyed the whole recruiting process and took in as much information as possible, then made my decision.”

Scouting Summary

Mouhamed Dioubate’s length and athleticism allow him to play bigger than his listed 6-6 or 6-7 height. The forward is an excellent defender, really able to get in the passing lanes and switch down a lineup. He is an instinctive offensive rebounder, extending possessions through the game. Offensively, Dioubate is good in the half court with two dribbles, in straight lines. The jump shot is average to below right now and he lacks counters off the bounce, but the forward does a good job of playing with himself. He is the type that affects winning on both ends, making things around him better. – On3’s Jamie Shaw
