Sioux04 Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 What ever happened with Bamba? If I remember correctly, he was dismissed from the team but I can't recall why. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeauxSioux Posted May 5, 2012 Author Share Posted May 5, 2012 From Vert et Or to Green and White Ismael Bamba wants to follow in the footsteps of another former member of the University of North Dakota Fighting Sioux. Bamba, a wide receiver, was selected by the Saskatchewan Roughriders in the sixth round (39th overall) of Thursday's CFL draft from the Universite de Sherbrooke Vert et Or. Before he played at Sherbrooke, however, Bamba was at UND for three seasons. During his recruiting visit to that school, he met Fighting Sioux star Weston Dressler - who's set to begin his fifth season with the Roughriders. "I watched him play before I even committed to UND," said Bamba, a 24-year-old product of Ivory Coast whose family moved to Montreal when Ismael was four. "He's a tremendous player, really explosive, and I'm going to try to contribute to this team like he does now." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
