"Kentucky transfer Mouhamed Dioubate is scheduled to visit St. John's on Tuesday. Dioubate, a native of Queens, is a tough, physical, defensive-minded player that Rick Pitino loves. The Johnnies appear to be the team to beat."
"Dioubate plays both ends of the floor and is an athletic presence that would add to the identity Pitino has been building at St. John's: long and athletic, making it very difficult to score on the Red Storm."
"The biggest cog in the operation that St. John's will have to replace this offseason is Zuby Ejiofor. Ejiofor has been the heart and soul of the Johnnies program for the last two seasons, and it will be very difficult to replace him."
St. John's basketball, under Rick Pitino, rebounded to become Big East champions and reach the Sweet 16 in 2025-26. The team rebuilt its roster through the transfer portal, adding versatile players like Bryce Hopkins, Oziyah Sellers, and Ian Jackson. Currently, St. John's is pursuing Kentucky forward Mouhamed Dioubate, known for his defensive skills and athleticism. While Dioubate may not replace Zuby Ejiofor's scoring, he is expected to be a valuable role player as the team seeks to enhance its roster for the upcoming season.
