Summary
- Mady Traore, a 6'11" prospect, missed last season due to injury.
- Traore is described as the team's best athlete, a 'freak' runner and jumper.
- He possesses three years of eligibility and could be a key player.
After a season sidelined by injury, Mady Traore is poised to become a pivotal player for the Washington Huskies' frontcourt in the 2026-27 season. The 6'11" forward, who transferred from Frank Phillips College where he was a top junior college prospect, suffered a torn tendon, forcing him to miss his initial year.
Coach Danny Sprinkle describes Traore as the team's "freak" athlete, highlighting his exceptional running and jumping abilities. His skills in rebounding and stretching the floor are expected to greatly benefit the Huskies as they prepare for Big Ten competition.
With three years of eligibility still available, Traore has the potential to be a central figure for the Huskies' frontcourt for the upcoming seasons. His addition complements returning players and new professional additions, strengthening the team's depth.
