'23 MA DL Boubacar Traore (Notre Dame Signee)

[Luckylucci]

It’s strange to decommit from a school, then have them in your top 4?
Why not just stay committed & inform them you are taking other visits if they are still a legit option?

I believe he committed to BC with 2 other teammates. I would guess that BC is not really in contention but it's either out of respect or for a backup plan.

Singer makes it sound like he will commit on his visit or shortly after, so not too sure if he takes other visits.

They all do that anymore. It's like they're trying to lessen the blow of breaking up.

That seems to be how this is trending. Which is why I think he's just throwing BC in there to polite.

 

[Pops Freshenmeyer]

Purely speculation, but I bet kids do that because it helps keep the old fanbase from coming after you while the decommit is fresh and Twitter land has its blood up.

It's like saying, "it's not you. It's me" kinda break-up. I thunk he's trying to be respectful and not hurt feelings. Just my .02 cents

Dohn ND CB article. His sources are saying his ND visit could be the only visit he takes. Confirmation on what we’ve speculated on already.

Singer also said that if everything falls in to place, 5 DL plus M'Pemba at 6 is a real possibility

Sinclair CB. Wonder when he does it. Sooner than later.

He visits next week. I would assume he goes public shortly after.

Who does he compare to currently on the roster?

Is he the first Boubacar to play at ND?

 

[Prof K]

Don't know, but it is a fairly common name in France and French speaking African countries.

I don’t know about current roster but he reminds me of Isaac Rochell. Similarly to Rochell, he played some standup edge as a Sophomore which gives you an idea of his balance and agility. He looks crazy long so I’d like to see him stay outside but you never know how these guys will grow.

Very popular name in Mali.

Further confirmation that he won't be making a Spring visit but will be in for an OV in June.

Boubacar is the equivalent of "Bubba" in many languages. Trust me. Would I lie about these matters?

Go read the On3 OSU SITE update on Jason Moore after his recent visit.
ND might be more open to Traore committing now.
I have a feeling Moore ends up at OSU now that they are pushing for him. He is close with Chase Young and seemed to love Larry Johnson. Said he will be back to OSU.

 

[Luckylucci]

Interesting, because Loy is now reporting that the staff will try to take all 3 of Traore, Moore, and Houstan.

Singer has been saying this for awhile

I hope ND would take all three, but they might not get the chance with Moore if OSU nabs him.

 

[arrowryan]

Visiting today. Might want to keep an eye on this one.

 

[Reaper97]

So is the consensus now that he has the green light?

Believe he’s always had the green light

Seems like he has the green light now, but not if Moore beats him
