Longhorns land Former Xavier forward Lassina Traore
The Texas Longhorns have added another player to their roster from the transfer portal. Former Xavier forward Lassina Traore committed to the Longhorns on Monday. He didn't appear in a game last year after suffering a knee injury in the offseason. However, when healthy, he can be an impactful piece.
Before joining Xavier, Traore spent time at Long Beach State. During the 2023-2024 campaign, Elbee averaged 11.9 points per game and 10.3 rebounds per game, tied for ninth-most in the country. His play did not go unnoticed by Sean Miller, who emphasized that Traore would not be easy for Xavier to replace last year when he got injured.
