After incoming transfers Denzel Aberdeen and Kam Williams recently showed off their jersey photoshoot pictures from last weekend’s official visit to Kentucky, another future Wildcat has done the same.

On Friday, Alabama transfer Mouhamed “Mo” Dioubate posted to Instagram a handful of his favorite pictures of himself rocking the Kentucky blue and white. Dioubate was one of four Kentucky portal commits who spent last weekend in Lexington.

After spending his first two college seasons with the Crimson Tide, Dioubate comes to Kentucky as a versatile 6-foot-7, 215-pound forward. As a sophomore in 2024-25, the New York native averaged 7.2 points, 5.9 rebounds, and 1.1 assists in 16 minutes per outing while shooting 61.7 percent from the field. On3 ranks him as the 64th-best player to enter the portal this offseason.

How does he look in his new jersey, BBN?

In a recent interview with Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports, Kentucky head coach Mark Pope had some high praise for Dioubate, comparing the intraconference addition to a future Hall of Famer on the defensive end of the floor. UK got to know Alabama pretty well last season, losing to the Tide in all three matchups.

“He punished us,” Pope said of Dioubate. “I don’t like to say it, but, man, he punished us three straight games this season; it was not a happy time for us. He shot the ball at a ridiculous clip on low volume. He’s a 46 percent three-point shooter on low volume, but where he was most dangerous, clearly, he’s an elite-level defender, one through five. Very much a Draymond Green feel defensively.”

Jayden Quaintance (Arizona State) was the lone transfer commit not in Lexington this past weekend; he’s using the time to recover from his recent ACL surgery. He’ll make his way to town later this summer with the rest of his teammates once offseason workouts begin in June.

Now it’s your turn to drop the jersey pics, Jaland Lowe. We’re waiting.
