Wonder if there would be any interest in Ibrahim Traore (portal Penn St)OL

[coachkos]

From the Bronx Didnt play this year. But good body type and seems like a great kid. Could be a kid
to get as a 6-8 man in the OL Rotation which would mean a little playing time Think he would have 2 years
of eligibility

Probably not, one of the benefits of the portal is that you are getting someone with a proven track record against different levels of college competitors so the likelihood of getting someone who can instantly help you is much more likely and easier to measure, plus their overall ability is pretty much known.
Unlike a hs senior, or a college player who not seen the field and, who as a general rule, will not help you for at least 2-3 yrs
