Arizona hoping to lure French prospect Armel Traore to college basketball

The international pool felt so good to the Arizona Wildcats during the 2020 recruiting class, why not dip another toe in it for 2021?

Arizona is one of several notable programs hoping to find a way to land French forward Armel Traore, who is weighing his options between playing college basketball in the United States or starting his professional career in Europe.

“I think it is a good option for me because I think that I have the capacity to show my potential,” Traore said to Rivals.com’s Corey Evans about playing in America.
