Dioubate on Kentucky👍👍

Mo D is going to play that MKG role on this team. He has that kind of toughness and tenacity, he's going to be a star and I'm stoked to have him on this squad.
Mo, Oweh, Aberdeen, JQ and Lowe, are 5 tough, hard nosed and talented guys on the floor. That's a top 5 defensive team that can also really score.

Significant that other players in those long interviews posted earlier, Trent Noah and BG, both mentioned Dioubate. I think the gist was as a guy who shoots better and is hard to play against.

Folks nowadays seem to forget the pull of the Kentucky program.

Only equivalent is Bama football imo.

There were UK fans that thought our recruiting would actually die if Calipari left. He really had a lot of people snowed. Every coach we’ve had in my lifetime has gotten players. Even Billy G got Patterson, Orton, Liggins, Miller, Harrelson.

Tubby’s recruiting gets overlooked as well. I’m pretty sure he actually got more high school AA’s than Pitino.

This place recruits itself to a degree. It turns out a fan base that loves the sport and will follow you everywhere matters to a lot of these kids.
 
It feels like we are going to win a few more SEC championships soon. Pope has the talent to hang a banner this year if his guys mesh and stay healthy.

Let's be the King!!
What most champions have is a guy that is clutch. I don’t know who that would be??
Hopefully Lowe takes a huge step in Popes system.
 
I think he's gonna be an MKG type that we've lacked for the longest time. Relentless on the boards and can defend multiple positions.

And, he's got a better shot. If he could even APPROACH being the utilitarian piece that MKG provided while still giving perimeter shooting, he will be VERY HARD to keep off the court.
 
Of anyone we got in the portal I am most excited about Dioubate. I think he was massively underrated in the portal. He's gonna make a lot of "experts" eat crow.
