‘22 CA C Yohan Traore

[swchandler1988]

I think Cucamonga is like 9 hours from Napa

 

[Maxwell865]

Originally from France so there is no home school for him

Still would love to get someone from Prolific Prep though.

Speaking of French prospects, well respected scouts are calling this guy the #1 pick in the 2023 draft and a once in a generational talent. He recently dominated Chet Holmgren in an international match.

East of LA toward Ontario.

 

[VolPack22]

Don’t mess with the Yohan.

 

[allvolrecruiting]

FIBA updated his stats and he averaged 5.7 bpg as a 17 year old there. Still has 2 more years of U19 basketball and then he will be draft eligible in 2023

I wanted to make this joke, but didn’t. Missed opportunity lol

 

[utbffan]

The game is simple for this guy. He plays with ease and is elite in all phases of the game.

As bad as I’d hate to say it, he’d be crazy to turn down that kind of money.

Not if a college program is promising close to the same he wouldn’t

What did the tweet say?

 

[TheMookieMonster]

What did the tweet say?

A pro league is allegedly willing to pay him $1 million to play instead of going to college.

McDonald will be in Indianapolis and Las Vegas. The big draw in Las Vegas is big man Yohan Traore. We’re hearing that Tennessee currently has a lot of momentum with Traore.

[HippieVol33]

A lot of momentum? I’d love to land this kid. Would be a huge deal.

 

[bleedingTNorange]

It’s not One or the other. Tennessee would take both. They view Traore as a four. He has grown like five inches in the last couple of years. He grew up handling the ball. I don’t see a commitment coming soon, I do think Tennessee is the the team to beat. Udeh is a traditional big and probably a tougher pull IMO.

Tennessee definitely thinks Traore is underrated

 

[RyanWalkerPGH]

Definitely like to hear that. Seems like this kid is going to be hovering around 5 star range when it's all said and done.

There’s no doubt about it, he’s been blowing up, almost certainly Top 20 and 5 star.

Whoa, wait a minute...is this not the complete opposite of what Rob with VQ said yesterday?

Rob on VQ pod said we're currently in better shape with Udeh than Traore.

 

[bleedingTNorange]

Whoa, wait a minute...is this not the complete opposite of what Rob with VQ said yesterday?

In the pod on Thursday when asked about Udeh & Traore he said…”I might like their chances a little better with Udeh”….wasn’t said in a hinting type way but more of a trying to just give some thought on it since asked. My guess is that he was told something by someone that would cause him to say that less than 24 hours later.

 

[Volfanatic_20]

Sounds very similar to Anthony Davis - as far as growth and having the ball handling skills of guard.

Maybe so. Just seems disingenuous to his readers and listeners to change course like that within 24 hours and not give any reasoning or context behind 180-degree shift in belief. It really is a disservice to his subscribers, but also himself because it could potentially leave people questioning whether Rob really knows anything about either situation, or not.
