Auburn the favorite?
I would bank on Auburn and Bruce Pearl here. The Tigers were viewed as the “runner-up” to land Traore’s commitment the first time around and there is a real need for a skilled big with the presumed departure of Jabari Smith and Walker Kessler.

Traore also took a secret visit to Auburn last week, according to Jeffrey Lee. More on that here.

Here is what Traore had to say about the Auburn Tigers in a recent interview with Auburn Live’s Jeffrey Lee prior to his commitment to LSU:

“I talk to Coach Bruce Pearl and Coach Wes a lot,” Traore said. “Auburn is a great school and I really like the coaches. I think it would be a great fit…I have watched Auburn and Jabari Smith. They’ve been doing great and I really like the way they use Jabari with posting up and isolation. I think I could be that guy who could be able to go in and do the same.”
