Agree - I think he wants a chance to improve offensively - which he was starting to do, honestly, towards the end of last year. I don't think he sees himself as only a hustle guy. Whether he's right or wrong, I think that's what he's looking for, a chance to show it.
but you dont win with freshman.....
toxic fans talking out of both sides of their mouths.
I’m talking about his inability to eat food or drink water during daylight and how that coincided with a totally ineffective month of February for him.
Jules Camara would have the same issue back when Ramadan was during December.
Sure doesn’t hurt to land a couple either. Toxic? Try high standards. It’s put up or shut up time.
Don’t forget Hawthorn, Potter Noah and Jelavic are still left

Not a fan. His body language was atrocious and skill set questionable at best. Especially three point attempts and shooting form. Deuces
So, you think Pope pushed him out. If so, I sure hope Pope already feels good about the players he will be getting. There are just a small group of power forwards that have the stats that we need.
Same. You win games with guys like gim but he cant be a centerpiece.
Unfortunately im sure we paid him like a centerpiece and understandably he doesn't want to voluntarily take a deel cut to stay.
As I said in the BG thread, Pope absolutely must get this money under control. Last year he overpaid everyone, which makes retention harder now there is apparently less basketball nil money.
Gonna miss his heart and hustle. Wishing him success whenever he’s not playing Kentucky.
Everyone is taking a pay cut except Moreno and Chandler.
I'm good with it. If he would play within his game he can be a great role player, but I cringe Everytime I see him jack up a 3 or dribble in the lane. Not his skillkset. I would've benched him every time he shot a 3
Awesome news!!!!! Mo, garrison and the guy who cost of Mullins are gone!!!!!
We understand completely, but we also understand he isn't deserving of a what he wants. Thanks for trying to educate us though, since we can't understand anything. Now go back to your own board.
The portal hasn’t opened yet. We can’t sign anyone from it until it does.
So what “new talent” are you expecting to see right now?
He’s a poor man chuck hayes! Chuck did everything better than Mo.
His lack of offensive skills were alarming. He clearly doesn't love the sport or he would have learned to shoot by now. I'm glad he's leaving.
Nazr Mohammed is looking for your home address. He would like to have a discussion.
MoD would be a solid roll player on any team. He's just not a UK starter if we want UK basketball to be back on top.
We were criticized for spending starter level money on role players. He was one that fits that category. Too bad it didn't work out. Will need to bring in a "lunch pail" kind of player to replace MoD though.
I am not upset he is looking to maximize his value somewhere else. However, I am also not upset we have that spot and money back for "the big wiffer" to try to upgrade the spot.
Good luck Mo!

Always a tough player for me to know how to feel about. His effort is never in doubt and he has games where he makes winning plays with his defense and rebounding. Unfortunately he’s also only (possibly generously) 6’7 and doesn’t have any perimeter skills, which significantly limits his ceiling.
Good player to have if you can convince him to be a 6th or 7th man, or at best the defensive specialist in a starting lineup that’s otherwise completely loaded offensively. I’m not sure he can be a centerpiece on a championship caliber team, which reading between the lines a bit seems to be how he may see himself, thus his second transfer in as many years. I still wish him well wherever he does end up.

Good player and a guy you like to have on the team, but it always seemed unlikely we'd see him back next year considering he was brought here and paid to be a starter, and now they're likely asking him to come off the bench, and get paid accordingly. He was in some ways emblematic of Pope's misguided roster construction this season, but that certainly isn't Dioubate's fault. Always wanted to see him get a shot at the 5 next to Jelavic but I don't believe Pope ever tried that in game.
