'23 MA DL Boubacar Traore (Notre Dame Signee)

[dublinirish]

Hasbulla Magomedov. Social media star

Was going to post that too, those Sundae convos are really funny.

 

[Luckylucci]

He looks way more lean than I expected in those picks. Those look like a current/future DE.

 

[Rogue219]

Sure hope things are okay without Mike Elston. Assistant coaches just don't come and go in this profession.

 

[ColinKSU]

Word on the street is he took an OV to Boston College today. If that’s true, I guess he isn’t in the class anymore.

[irish o'phile]

Why would he commit and then do the official to BC so shortly thereafter? Weird.

 

[Reaper97]

The BC Rivals guy says Hafley was able to convince Traore to do an overnight OV at their big recruiting weekend.
Not a good look to go there instead of to ND’s big weekend.

 

[EvilleIrish]

Are we forcing him out for Jason Moore? Just spit balling, no info

I don’t think so.

From what I have seen, no ND sites saw this coming (unless they decided to keep it quiet for some reason?).

 

[Riddickulous]

Gotta love recruiting

 

[Reaper97]

Singer says it was an unofficial & he will be back to ND next week for his OV.

 

[NDFAN2008]

He’s shared Keon in a ND Jersey on social media 4 hours I wouldn’t be worried.

 

[Dale]

Loy, Sinclair and Singer all said it was an unofficial independent of this.

 

[Dale]

I love the so allegedly I was wrong vibe to this

 

[pumpdog20]

This has one of the BC reporters doubling down that it was an official.

We should get some street tacos.

The feels are feeling better already

Well if he wanted its official or not official status to stay on the DL probably doesn’t help their chances of flipping him back by making it extra awkward.

 

[Reaper97]

I wonder if Traore told ND and everyone that it was an unofficial, but it was an OV, & since the Rivals BC guy contacted BC to clarify they couldn’t lie to him since OVs are tracked, so he saved face by reporting it.
This happens. Reporters are told to keep quiet. But since he is trying to save face he lets the cat out of the bag.

Either way, one of Traore or that reporter are going to look really bad.
Either Traore for lying or the reporter for being wrong twice…

Agreed.

 

[Sea Turtle]

Uh oh. This isn't good.

 

[Reaper97]

ND sites are saying it doesn’t matter either way.
ND staff gave him permission.
BC staff is pushing that it was an OV (probably for promotional reasons).
ND staff saying they treat it as an unofficial.
Traore says unofficial.
BC can call it whatever they want, ND & Traore don’t care & Traore isn’t going to BC.

 

[Dale]

So Tom checked independently on the ND side and they said it was a OV. So everyone on the BC side says OV and ND side/Traore says unofficial. Can we get some receipts?

 

[ab2cmiller]

Uh oh. This isn't good.

I don’t like this newly pessimistic Sea Turtle.

 

[Mavericknyc1980]

If it was an official then your spot will be replaced.

 

[Reaper97]

If it was an official then your spot will be replaced.

Not if ND & Traore are treating it as an unofficial & the ND staff gave him permission to go.

He went with two HS teammates who were trying to get scholarships some where.

If BC wants to pay for his meal & call it an OV, whatever.

ND doesn’t care & Traore isn’t going there. It was decided before he even went.

 

[Riddickulous]

ND let him skip their big weekend with the rest of his class to go to BC, the home state school he flipped from like 2 months ago? Seems off to me. Just a weird look.
