Alabama forward transfer Mouhamed Dioubate had a Zoom meeting with the Kentucky staff over the weekend, sources tell KSR+. He is expected to make his college decision early this week.

The 6-foot-7, 215-pound forward has two years of eligibility remaining. Dioubate averaged 7.2 points, 5.9 rebounds, and 1.1 assists per game during the 2024-25 season. He shot 61.7 percent from the field and 46.2 percent from three-point range.

Dioubate finished with eight points on 2-for-5 shooting with eight rebounds, three assists, and one steal in Alabama’s win over Kentucky on Jan. 18. Dioubate only had four points in Alabama’s win over Kentucky on Feb. 22, but he played a crucial role in holding Otega Oweh to only two points on 1-for-9 from the field.
