Washington transfer Zoom Diallo schedules Kentucky visit

Kentucky will host Washington transfer Zoom Diallo for a visit this weekend, he tells KSR.

The trip to Lexington will begin Friday and conclude on Saturday.

Sources previously told KSR that Kentucky is ‘strongly in the mix’ for the talented guard and conducted a Zoom meeting with him once he officially entered the portal this week. He is rated as the No. 33 overall player and No. 9 point guard in the On3 Transfer Portal Industry Ranking.

It’s the first known visitor for the Wildcats with the dead period ending on April 10 and in-person meetings allowed from now through the rest of the portal cycle.

Diallo appeared in all 33 of Washington’s games in the 2025-26 season. He logged 29 starts. Diallo averaged 15.7 points, 3.9 rebounds, and 4.5 assists per game, while shooting 48.9 percent from the field and 31.5 percent from three-point range. 

As a true freshman in the 2024-25 campaign, Diallo averaged 11.1 points per contest. He showed significant improvement shooting the ball from his freshman year when he shot 18.2 percent from downtown. 

Kentucky was involved in Diallo’s high school recruitment in the 2024 class under John Calipari. UK didn’t end up offering at the time. 

“They’re known for producing a lot of pros that played in the NBA or are currently in the NBA,” he told KSR+ in April of 2024. “Coach Cal is a winning coach, a great coach. I’ve been watching Kentucky for a long time, just seeing that he puts faith in his freshmen coming in. Just watching him put his belief in the freshmen really means a lot.”
