A short season and then leaves: about ten months after his arrival on the campus ofAuburn to play his “freshman” season there, Yohan Traore already leaves the program trained by Bruce Pearl.
A logical decision from his point of view, as the Tigers technician did not particularly count on him throughout the exercise, offering him only 10 minutes on average per game, for a frankly insignificant contribution to the game ( 2.1 points and 1.4 rebounds). Certainly a disappointment for the French player, who arrived in Alabama last summer from LSU in the shoes of the program’s big summer recruit.
” I am grateful to have been part of the Auburn community for the past few months. My time with the team has benefited me, as a player and as a person. » he said anyway, corporate, in a press release. ” I warmly thank Coach [Bruce] Pearl for having recruited me, and all the staff for having irradiated me with their knowledge and their leadership. »
A high school student in Arizona, at the very famous Dream City Christian School (the same as Shaedon Sharpe, in particular), Yohan Traore was ranked 24th among the best players in his high school promotion, that of 2022, before his season ” freshman” discreet. He is therefore still a big talent in the eyes of NCAA coaches, who will no doubt be many to try in the coming weeks to convince him to join them.
