It’s a sweep! All four of Kentucky’s transfers who took their official visits to Lexington this weekend had a blast and can’t wait to come back.

Mouhamed Dioubate and Jaland Lowe joined Kam Williams and Denzel Aberdeen in the chorus of happy Cats today on social media. Dioubate, who comes to Kentucky after two seasons at Alabama, called the experience “surreal,” while Lowe, who transfers in following two seasons at Pitt, said it was a “dream come true.” The group got their first taste of Big Blue Nation at Saturday’s Kentucky Baseball game vs. South Carolina at Kentucky Proud Park, where they met fans and took pictures as the Bat Cats beat the Gamecocks.

“I had an amazing time this weekend in Lex!!” Dioubate tweeted. “The love and respect was surreal 💯 Can’t wait to get it rocking yessirrr #bbn”

“Kentucky Is Different!” Lowe wrote. “[It] was a dream come true to be on campus this past weekend knowing I can call this place home. The culture and fanbase is one of the best in the WORLD!!! All eyes on number nine #BBN”

On Sunday afternoon, former Florida guard Denzel Aberdeen was the first visitor to post about his trip to Lexington, writing, “MAN I LOVE KENTUCKY!! Had a great official visit today in Lexington, cannot wait to represent the University and its culture. #BBN.”

Williams, who comes to Kentucky after one season at Tulane, chimed in about an hour later, tweeting that even during his short time in town, he could tell how special the program and its fans are.

“The culture and love that Kentucky has for their players is very special and something that I will never take for granted. I was blessed to have my official visit today and honestly cannot wait to suit up and play for all the fans. Can’t wait to get to work! #BBN.”

While in town, the group also checked out the Joe Craft Center, where they’ll be spending plenty of time in just a few months. Dioubate posted this picture from the gym last night on his Instagram story, suggesting he got some work in before heading home.

It being an official visit, the players presumably got to try on their new jerseys, but those pictures have yet to surface. These from the baseball game will have to do until then.

Jayden Quaintance was the only incoming transfer who didn’t make the trip. The former Kentucky signee and Arizona State forward stayed home in Florida to focus on rehabbing from his recent ACL surgery. He’ll join the rest of his new teammates in Lexington in early June for summer workouts.
