Alabama forward Mouhamed Dioubate to enter transfer portal
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (WIAT) — Alabama forward Mouhamed Dioubate is entering the transfer portal, he announced on his Instagram page Friday.
Dioubate was one of the glue guys on the Alabama basketball team, and one of those players who was always in competition for the hard hat, which was rewarded for the most blue-collar points. He was never known for prolific scoring or having jaw-dropping handles, but his defensive effort and toughness was pivotal for the Crimson Tide every game.

The sophomore from Queens, New York averaged 7.2 points and 5.9 rebounds on the season, while also shooting over 60% from the field. Alabama has signed two players thus far in the transfer portal, with 6'10' forward Taylor Bol Bowen and 7'0″ center Noah Williamson.
It seems as if the Crimson Tide are focusing on size this time around, as the Crimson Tide will also welcome three freshman from its recruiting class, and they are each 6'5″ or taller.
