Mark Pope is losing another key player, as junior forward Mouhamed Dioubate has announced that he will be leaving Kentucky and entering the transfer portal. He has had some big performances during the postseason for the Wildcats and him leaving would leave a big hole for the team.
This means that Dioubate now also has the opportunity to find a team where he could shine even more. He exploded for 17 points and eight rebounds in the first round of the NCAA Tournament against SCU and averaged 8.8 points, 5.5 rebounds and one assist per game, showing that there is some potential in him. Where should he go next?
5 Possible Landing Spots For Mouhamed Dioubate Via the Transfer Portal
St. Louis Billikens
The Billikens had a phenomenal run, but they are expected to lose a lot of seniors to eligibility, as well as a few players to the transfer portal. This could be the opportunity that Mouhamed Dioubate needs to make a fresh start and explode in a new team during his senior season.
North Carolina Tar Heels
With freshman star Caleb Wilson probably becoming a one-and-done and leaving for the NBA draft, the blue blood program may be in the market for a new forward via the transfer portal, and this is where Mouhamed Dioubate could get his opportunity, especially with such a big program now going through rebuilding and finding a new coach.
UConn Huskies
After this season, whether it wins or lose the national title, UConn is expected to lose several players, be it to eligibility, the NBA draft or the transfer portal. This includes a number of forwards, which means that Dioubate could show what he could do with a team that is considered a contender.
Arkansas Razorbacks
John Calipari may be known as one of the greatest coaches when it comes to player development, and he may take in Mouhamed Dioubate as a possible project and turn him into a more dominant player.
UCLA Bruins
The Bruins have been on quite the postseason run, but despite this, they have found themselves lacking a bit on a few things, including additional forwards. The team is about to lose a few more players for various reasons, and will surely be dipping into the transfer portal as they try to recapture old glory.
