Before Niagara
Touba Traore, an athletic post with high potential, comes to Niagara University after playing at Massanutten Military Academy in Woodstock, Virginia. Traore moved from his native Mali to Virginia in 2017 where he started his high school career at Shenandoah Valley Christian Academy. He then played one season at Massanutten High School before transitioning to the prep school. Traore had a significant impact on both ends of the floor. He averaged a double-double, 11 points and 10 rebounds per game, during the 2019-20 season. A rim protector, Traore set the school single-season record for blocked shots with 126, including 15 in one game.    

Traore received interest from programs like George Mason, Hampton, James Madison, Longwood, Maryland Eastern Shore, Radford and UNC Asheville.
