Just 17 years old, Ouedrago checks in at 6-foot-9 and 240 pounds with a near seven-foot wingspan. And with Nebraska's decided lack of depth in the front court, the native of Bordeaux, France, would likely get every opportunity to establish himself in Nebraska's rotation.
At last year's FIBA U16 European Championships, Ouedraogo averaged 12.7 points and 9.7 rebounds per game in 24 minutes per outing. He had a 23-point, 15-rebound game against Serbia in the event's quarterfinals, and had 14 points and 15 boards against Estonia in group play. He pulled down at least five rebounds in each of France's seven games.
