Alabama basketball forward Mouhamed Dioubate has entered the transfer portal. On3 first reported the news.

The 6-foot-7, 215-pound forward out of Queens (New York) played in all 37 games but did not start for the Crimson Tide this past season. Dioubate was a contributor to both Alabama’s Elite Eight and Final Four runs the past two seasons.

He averaged 16 minutes a night and 7.2 points per game last season, shooting 61.7 percent from the field and finishing with 5.9 rebounds a night as the Crimson Tide finished 28-9 overall, including a 13-5 mark in a grueling SEC schedule.

Dioubate openly stated that he wanted a spot in the Crimson Tide’s starting lineup next season after Alabama’s season ended with an 85-65 loss to No. 1 Duke in the Elite Eight last Saturday. “I know the what I deserve on the court, and the other guys know that as well,” Dioubate told the Tuscaloosa News.

He signed with Alabama as a 4-star prospect out of Putnam Science Academy in Connecticut in 2023. On3 ranked Dioubate the No. 99 overall player in the class of 2023, while 247Sports named him the 22nd best power forward in the nation.

Dioubate becomes the second player from Nate Oats’ 2024-25 roster to enter the transfer portal, joining redshirt freshman small forward Naas Cunningham on Monday.

Earlier Friday, Alabama added Florida State 6-foot-10 forward Taylor Bol Bowen in the transfer portal. Bol Bowen, a 4-star prospect out of Brewster Academy in New Hampshire, was rated the No. 74 best player in the transfer portal by 247Sports.

Bal Bowen is the second player to join Alabama via the transfer portal after Bucknell center Noah Williamson committed to the Crimson Tide on Monday.
