Nate Oats provides injury update on freshman forward Mouhamed Dioubate

After knee surgery, Freshman foward Mouhamed Dioubate ‘plans to return for this upcoming season’ according to Nate Oats.

A couple of weeks ago, Alabama Crimson Tide freshman forward Mouhamed Dioubate shared a photo on his Instagram story with his left knee heavily wrapped and in a brace, while Dioubate used crutches to stand. At that time, there had not been an official statement from the men’s basketball program regarding the injury.

On Wednesday, Alabama head basketball coach Nate Oats released a statement to BamaOnline providing an update on the injured left knee.

“Mo had arthroscopic surgery on his left knee performed by Dr. Lyle Cain on an injury discovered during the physical process,” said Oats. “He is expected to make a full recovery with plans to return this upcoming season.”

This is extremely fortunate news for Dioubate and Crimson Tide fans as the 6-foot-7 forward had expectations of making an early impact for Alabama this season.

Dioubate joined the Crimson Tide this offseason as part of the 2023 recruiting class as a four-star prospect from Flushing, New York.

Alabama MBB signee Mouhamed Dioubate named New England Player of the Year

Alabama basketball signee Mouhamed Dioubate was recently named as the New England Player of the Year. Dioubate played his senior season at Putnam Science Academy.

Alabama men’s basketball signee Mouhamed Dioubate was recently named as the New England Player of the Year. Dioubate spent his senior season at Putnam Science Academy in Flushing, New York.

Dioubate signed with the Crimson Tide in November. He is listed at 6-foot-7, 215 pounds. 247Sports has Dioubate ranked as the No. 97 prospect in the country as well as the No. 4 prospect from New York.

Dioubate’s high school head coach Tom Espinosa spoke with BamaOnline about the type of player he was. Espinosa had this to say:

“He’s a guy like — I’m not saying he’s Grant Williams — but he’s a guy like that,” Espinosa said. “An undersized big that can rebound and block shots. He’s unique. And one thing he’s really improved in his game is he catches that ball in the high post, 15 feet, rips through and attacks really well. And his jump shot is coming along really well.”

Dioubate could have a sizable role in Tuscaloosa next season given his versatility and length. Those are two characteristics that bode well in Nate Oats’ system. Whatever the case may be, he will provide valuable depth for the Crimson Tide next season.

Alabama MBB signs four recruits during early National Signing Day period

On Wednesday, four recruits signed with the Alabama basketball program during the early signing period.

Four Alabama commits made it official on Wednesday as they signed their letters of intent. The Crimson Tide inked signatures on early National Signing Day from shooting guard Davin Cosby Jr., point guard R.J. Johnson, power forward Mouhamed Dioubate, and power forward Sam Walters. At this time, Alabama has the No. 13 overall class in the country, according to 247Sports’ recruiting rankings.

Head coach Nate Oats likes to add players to his system that can stretch the floor, play multiple positions, and hustle on the defensive end of the floor. It appears that this class is going to bring that to Tuscaloosa.

Not to mention, the coaching staff is also pushing to add four-star small forward Kaden Cooper, as well. The Oklahoma native recently announced that he will be making his college decision on Saturday, Nov. 12.

One thing that should stand out about this class is its versatility and length. Each of the four recruits that the Tide have signed are 6-foot-3 or taller. That can certainly present challenges on the defensive end of the floor for opposing teams. Coach Oats’ emphasis on the recruiting trail has worked in years past. It will be interesting to see how this class performs when they arrive on campus.
