Dioubate Joins LSU, Boosts Frontcourt

0:00On April 21st, Kentucky Ford, Muhammad Dubey, just committed to LSU straight out the transfer portal. After a breakout year with the Wildcats where he started 10 of 31 games, he's taking his talents to the Bayou. Average to career best 8.8 points, 5.5 rebounds, and nailed exactly one assist, one block, and one steal per game. He spent two seasons at Alabama before jumping within the SEC to Kentucky. His three-point shot cooled off there, dropping to 21.4% on 28 tries after hitting 46.2% on. 26 attempts at BAMMA. Still, at 6.7 and 220 pounds, that high motor dude fits perfect in new LSU coach, Will Wade's up-temple system. Fans are buzzing about how he bolsters LSU's front court depth right away. Diubey flash a big in the NCAA tourney opener against Santa Clara, dropping 17 points, 8 boards, 3 blocks, plus an assist and steal.

1:02That energy could turn heads in Baton Rouge. He hit double figures in scoring 11 times last season, including 220 plus outbursts, one at 20 point, 11 rebound, double, double early, on. Those were his only two double doubles, but he sniffed double-digit boards a few other times too. Came in as a four-star recruit, ranked 99th overall, 23rd small forward, and top four from his state. LSU snagged a proven SEC hustler, who elevates any squad watch Diubey, lighted up underway this fall.
