He cited Kentucky’s storied history, the development of players under Coach Calipari, and the chance to compete at the highest level as key reasons for his decision. The allure of playing in the SEC, in front of one of the most passionate fanbases in college basketball, sealed the deal.

Dioubate’s commitment sends a strong message to the rest of the college basketball world: Kentucky remains a juggernaut on the recruiting trail. With his addition, the Wildcats bolster their frontcourt with a player who fits perfectly into the team’s hard-nosed, up-tempo style.
