I would imagine we’re paying him more and he’ll get more playing time. It’s not complicated.
Mouhamed Dioubate commits to UK!
- Thread starter BlueBloodKyFan
- Start date
I have news, the fans don't play the games, construct rosters, or coach games. I bet Houston has really cleaned up in the portal the last few years .... oh wait, their portal ranking was like 100 last year and 30 the year before that. I bet they've gotten a ton of elite burger boys the last few years to build this roster ..... oh no, wrong again. There is more than one way to skin a cat. There is a reason you aren't the coach and Pope is. I think i'll trust the guy who built a roster in 3 weeks with a late start and had us competing with (and beating) teams that made the final four.
Brea and Robinson were both 6th men (non starters) before coming to UK. Both players ended up being huge part of our offense.
I’m quickly learning to trust Pope regardless of a player did the previous year.
Bama isn’t willing to pay. He’s dispensable.
Red flags when UK is tajijgb2nd level guys from programs they are trying to reach.
If UK had 3-4 real dudes, real difference makers, then a guy like this might make sense. But right now UK doesn’t have those guys.
Programs like Bama understand you need 3-4 real guys. Everyone else is interchangeable.
If you keep posting the same thing over and over you may get some UK fans to argue with you ;- )
Isn’t that the definition of baiting/trolling?
Keep trying!
Bama was one of the deepest teams so some Second level guys are pretty damn good, you're theory kinda dumb
Speak for yourself, then. What exactly is not valid? I'm little lost in your reference. Please enlighten, so we can work this out.
Diabate was 5th in the SEC at defensive rebounding percentage and was 16th in offensive rebounds.
I trust him and the other coaches just making an assumption
I know he’s not really a shooter, I just want him to be a poor man’s MKG! A guy that brings physicality, rebounding, dunking on peoples heads! We need toughness!
I didn't expect us to get their tonight but if our team had stayed healthy all season I think it would have been possible.
We'll be final four good the next couple years for sure and hopefully yearly after that.. I'm fine with whomever Pope decides he wants on the team.. I don't care who else he adds or don't add.. I'm ready to roll next season.. We've got the fun back in UK hoops..
How I feel about this may depend on how we plan to finish out the roster. If the plan is for Dioubate to split time at the 4, then I love it. He’ll be a “glue guy” for us and add some much needed rebounding on both ends of the floor.
I like it a little less if it means that we’re passing on Alvaro and giving him 25-30 minutes per game. He’s a bit of tweener whose one standout trait is that he’s always giving 120%. I think he may be better suited as an energy guy in the 6th-7th man role, and I’m not entirely sure that his numbers will increase quite as much as the rate states suggest they would if he gets a greatly expanded role.

I see him more as a muffin player myself, maybe a hard biscuit. Roll player should deserve consideration in place with fast paste and preMadonna.
Curious, anyone know where they ranked him in the portal? I checked 247 and another site and he's nowhere to be found. I stopped looking good after 100 figuring he's way up there, at least 30s. All are other guys are ranked, but it's like they left him off???
That explains why he plays so much taller than 6'7". The advantage of height is the vertical reach, not how high the top of your head is...
Combine him with JQ 7'5" wingspan and around the rim will be violent.
On3 ranks Dioubate as the 37th-best prospect (and 5th-best small forward) to enter his name into the portal so far this offseason. In 16 minutes per game as a sophomore this past season, the New York native averaged 7.2 points, 5.9 rebounds, and 1.1 assists while shooting 61.7 percent from the field, 46.2 percent from three (12-26 overall), and 60.9 percent from the free throw line.
