Kentucky brought in Mouhamed Dioubate in the transfer portal last season, as he left Alabama to join the Wildcats. Dioubate had a really solid year in Lexington, averaging 8.8 points and 5.5 rebounds while shooting 54.7% from the field.
He helped lead the Wildcats to the second round of the NCAA Tournament, where they ended up bowing out against Iowa State.
While they were able to bring him in last offseason, it appears that his time in Lexington will be ending soon as it is being reported that he is going to enter the transfer portal on Tuesday:
Dioubate had an outstanding game in the incredible victory against Santa Clara in the first round of the NCAA, as he finished that game with 17 points and eight rebounds.

He spent his first two seasons at Alabama, where he helped the Crimson Tide make it to the Elite Eight.
The Wildcats are also expected to lose guard Jaland Lowe to the transfer portal this offseason.
The transfer portal doesn’t officially open until Tuesday, so there is going to be plenty more guys entering across the country. This will be a big offseason for Mark Pope, as the Wildcats underachieved despite a roster that was reported to be valued at over $20 million.
