Mark Pope and his staff did that for the BBN when they landed a commitment from Alabama Crimson Tide transfer forward Mouhamed Dioubate.
After two successful years in Tuscaloosa, Dioubate brings toughness to this upcoming Kentucky Wildcats team that will help propel teams in the SEC.
A 6-foot-7 and 215-pound forward from New York, Dioubate averaged 7.2 points per game on 62% shooting from the field this season, including 46% from deep. He also added 5.9 rebounds and 1.1 assists per game.
With Dioubate on board, the Cats now have three transfer commitments, including Jaland Lowe and Kam Williams. Who will be the next on board? Now, all eyes turn to Wesley Yates and Jaron Pierre.
Add one of those players and potentially Alvaro Forgueiras, and this upcoming roster will be really solid.
Now, let’s see how Twitter reacted to the news of the commitment from Mo Dioubate.

Do you know how funny it is that Mouhamed Dioubate is left handed

Mouhamed Dioubate's 24.0 percent defensive rebound% ranked fifth-best in the SEC per KenPom. His 10.8 offensive rebound% ranked 16th best in the conference all at 6-foot-7.

Kentucky did as good of a job as any program in college basketball last spring at allocating its resources properly in an effort to construct a TEAM. Love the way the Wildcats are doing the same so far in 2025. Not acquiring talent, but building a TEAM! https://t.co/1XQRSr0uFQ
