Mady Traoré, a 6-foot-11 transfer from New Mexico State who committed to Maryland about 2 weeks ago, finalized his NBA Draft decision.
Jon Rothstein reported that Traoré will withdraw from the NBA Draft and return to Maryland.
Traoré was born in France, but moved to Cumberland, Maryland, where he played high school basketball at both Bishop Walsh and National Christian Academy (Washington, D.C.).
He was a 3-star recruit in the class of 2022, and ranked as the No. 6 recruit in the state of Maryland by the 247Sports Composite.
He originally committed to play for NC State, but instead spent one year at New Mexico State. He appeared in just 7 games, and averaged 1.4 points and 0.4 rebounds.
