Zoom Diallo, a notable sophomore guard from Tacoma, Washington, has officially announced his transfer to the University of Kentucky after two seasons with the Washington Huskies. During his time at Washington, Diallo started 51 games and averaged 15.7 points, 4.5 assists, and 3.9 rebounds per game. His decision to leave comes after a challenging season for the Huskies, who finished with a 13-18 record. Diallo previously led Curtis High School to consecutive Washington 4A state championships before transferring to Prolific Prep in Northern California for his senior year. His departure marks a significant change for Washington, as he is the first starter from the 2025-26 season to enter the transfer portal, and it also represents a key addition for Kentucky’s coach Mark Pope, who is looking to strengthen his roster after missing out on another transfer earlier that day.
