Not Much Noise About Traore or Tadjo

[BigD]

Seydou Traore visited Utah on Wednesday.

Not sure whether to booo or cheer for him if he end's up here in Utah. Maybe cheer when he plays BYU.

I was hoping he would come on back to Iowa. I think Ben could really help him develop his game.

If you see that Traore commits to Utah let us know!

Maybe he'll still see the light.

Apparently Tadjo is transferring to Santa Clara. They also picked up a transfer from Michigan State. I'd be curious to know how hard Iowa tried to keep him.

I wonder that about all of the former Iowa players. Was this an Iowa money issue or Ben just wanting to start a fresh? I have read from several articles that Fran's players really like Fran. Maybe that has a lot to do with the exodus more than anything against Ben.

Likely yes and yes.

I thought he would have been an excellent fit for a good Missouri Valley team. Drake? I wonder what the appeal was for a bottom feeder school(athletic wise), if the military is not in your future.

If I was a guy that hadn't played much, I'd want to go somewhere that I could play good minutes and make a solid contribution. It seems that a MVC team could have used him as well as some of those other Midwestern conferences.

I thought maybe he'end up at Nebraska-Omaha or one of those South Dakota schools so his family could see him play. But maybe he wants to experience a different part of the country.

I wish him welll.
