gister Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 I thought I read that the ability to transfer without sitting out could only be used one time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what free agency does. My uncle once said if there was free agency and the money there is now days in baseball back during stan musials time. Musial would have ended up being a Yankee or dodger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's my understanding too. A second transfer would require sitting out a year. I'm guessing the way things are going, that that will soon be eliminated too.

Taj79 Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 Second transfer requires an NCAA waiver ala Rashad Williams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree Roy, I was just saying that Traore will be just another player who has come and gone and a name forgotten similar to Gillman. billikenfan05 likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Traore wasn't really a great player though. Long arms but poor coordination. Too much work for too much question. Better to sign another guy. Traore will find somewhere to develop, maybe he pans out. He didn't want to wait behind okoro and everyone else either. That's the reality of basketball in the portal era. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the reality of basketball in the portal era. you saw a different traore than i did. in his few appearances he made enough catch and scores, nice rebounds and outlets, steals, etc to show he had very good promise. a lot more than what gillman ever did. he would have been a decent 5-10 minute sub for okoro this coming year and then see what he progressed or not to become. his gleeful jig after the one big play was a season highlight imo.

I thought his coordinating was just fine, my issue is he got too excited when he got the ball. needed to calm down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's the best big we've ever had that wasn't in the rotation. billiken_roy, Schasz and Compton like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoCoBillsFan Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 Traore just committed to Long Beach State: https://www.instagram.com/p/Cc3Vr6tpSe4/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y= Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice weather in LA. Long Beach won the Big West last season under former Gonzaga HC Dan Monson & returns many key peices including a freshman guard last year named Aboubacar Traore who is also from the Ivory Coast. I'm not sure there is any relation (Traore is a common last name in that part of Africa), but it is probably nice to have a fellow countryman on the team regardless. The returnees are mostly guards / wings, so they needed a big man & Lassina should have a path to immediate playing time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Young Charles Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 I honestly thought he would see some more minutes this year, he's a sound all around big so I was a little suprised when he announced the transfer. Hope Long Beach works out for him! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
