David Eickholt, a beat reporter for 24/7, reported on July 8 that he wouldn't be surprised to see Traore start at the 4.

On June 5 I wondered if this would be the rotations. Hopefully Fran does not go much deeper than 10.

Note that there are just 2 seniors in the top 10.

Starting 5:
6’3” PG Drew Thelwell (SR)
6'5" SG Josh Dix (JR)
6'7" F Payton Sandfort (SR)
6’7” PF Seydou Traore (SO)
6'10" C Owen Freeman (SO)

Next 5 off the bench:
6'0" PG Brock Harding (SO)
6'7" F Cooper Koch (FR)
6'7" F Pryce Sandfort (SO)
6'8" PF Ladji Dembele (SO)
6'8" PF Chris Tadjo (FR)

Other 3 scholarship players:
6'11" C Riley Mulvey (JR)
6'9" F/C Even Brauns (SR)
6'5" SG Carter Kingsbury (JR)

Considering starting Cooper Koch at the 4 is interesting. He must be showing a lot in practice. I don’t think he will but it’s interesting.

Should I read something into it that he mentions newcomers Koch and Traore, but not Tadjo?
