The St. John's Red Storm has identified Kentucky transfer Mouhamed Dioubate as a key target for their 2026-27 roster. Dioubate, a 6-foot-7 forward originally from Queens, reportedly participated in Zoom meetings with both St. John's and Virginia on Wednesday. An official on-campus visit to St. John's is slated for Tuesday.
Ranked as the No. 72 overall transfer and No. 8 small forward by On3, Dioubate had a productive junior season at Kentucky. He averaged 8.8 points, 5.5 rebounds, 1.0 steal, and 1.0 block per game in 21.6 minutes. His previous collegiate experience includes two seasons at Alabama.
St. John's aims to replace departing forward Dillon Mitchell with Dioubate. They face competition from Virginia, under new head coach Ryan Odom, and other programs like Creighton and Baylor. The Red Storm is actively filling six open scholarships this offseason.
