Frenchman Yvan Ouedraogo (pronounced Ivan way-drah-O-go) comes to Nebraska out of Bordeaux, France. He will be the first Husker basketball player in program history from France. Bearing this in mind, I hope he brings a pipeline for smuggling in quality wine at discount rates for the wine-o’s in Lincoln.
On a serious note, the 6’9” 17 year old freshman comes to Nebraska as a top-150 recruit per 24/7. Ouedraogo chose Nebraska over offers from Georgia Tech, TCU, and Vanderbilt. While he is already 260 pounds, Hoiberg and staff learned after he arrived on campus that he had never had a formal weight lifting program back home.
