2025 Recruiting: Abdou Toure is MUST SEE TV! Best Guard in Connecticut Since Mustapha Heron!

[husky429]

I’m prefacing this rumor I heard with the fact it came from my son who heard from a friend of friend so obviously could be (and likely is) complete here say. The rumor is he’s leaning toward providence due to an “issue” with someone on UConn coaching staff.

He's not going to Providence if he doesn't like UConn. Kid has offers from CBB powerhouses. Playing for Kim English is a g-league death sentence.

Why does your son love trolling us?

I mean of course I see the appeal of bringing pc back to sweet 16 glory

 

[ctchamps]

It wasn’t from online. It was an actual conversation with a high school classmate who is going to providence. That’s all I got!

So your son heard it from a kid who will be a Providence student. Sounds like your son was trolled.

I’ve heard the same thing. Apparently he and Paul Wettemen have beef going back years. It’s on sight between those dudes.

12 schools have offered him and none are UConn. Huskies aren’t interested.

You should pay more attention to the Boneyard. It always has the best information.

2026 Recruiting: - Abdou Toure Offered

Would love to see him in a Husky uniform. Apparently he was offered a UConn scholarship a couple days ago. I realize there's another thread on him but figured the offer deserved it's own...

www.the-boneyard.com

And I don't believe the PC stuff either. He will have offers from many top programs. It would be hard to believe he would pick PC from a list of offers he'll have.

You don’t think he’d turn down UConn, Alabama, Arkansas, Oregon, etc. to play at a small regional college with a mediocre basketball program and no real national brand?

Providence did just get the 5 star center from CT last class and they have two top 100 kids for the next class. He just visited them to watch our game as well. Not saying they should be considered the leader, but I think they have surprising NIL resources.

Not as good as Georgetown’s, I’m thinking.

 

[Mets1432]

We did offer

To be fair to that poster, Uconn is not listed on 247 or espn in regards to an offer.

Well then we need to make a tough decision!

 

[Agent0]

I’d be surprised if this kid ended up anywhere other than uconn

Hope your right

Which shows you how much you can trust those sites to update their offers.

Looks like an athletic stud but….from a small town…New Haven? Lol.

Has New Haven had any good ball players? /s

Maybe so and hopefully it’s all bs.

Serious question. Anyone know if EK is still living? He was my first favorite Husky.

Tremont Waters, Desmond Claude, Touré are a few of the more recent. I forget the kids name that went to the Ivy League some years back. He was good too.

I assume you’re talking about the kid from PSA last year? He was like a top 50 recruit, not close to a five star. That 40-150 range seems to be their sweet spot. Toure is going to wind up way higher than that and would be a big outlier in recruiting for them.

 

[JesusAllen11]

He kinda has a VJ Edgecome kinda game

Definitely seems that way.

2025 - 36 and 101
2024 - 44 (though he was a reclass and he was higher in 2025, I want to say he was around 20-25 before the reclass but I may be misremembering and it was super early in the rankings)
2023 - 47 (Dual - now at SHU)

That said, I can't imagine going to play for English with the choices Toure will have. English is sitting at .500 on the dot right now in two years (33-33) in the BE and .400 in league play (16-24). And that was with the BE POY last year. He is 67-62 in his four year career and never made the NCAAT.

Seems like a great guy but hasn't shown he can coach at all.

 

[auror]

He attended a Providence game last week. Hopefully it was the DePaul game.

It was the UConn game lol.

Sly Williams.

Super John and Jiggy

/s = sarcasm. I’m well aware of the long and storied history of New Haven hoops. Used to watch Hillhouse-Cross on ch8 in early 60s. Watched the best hs team in the country live.

 

[upstater]

Scott Burrell and Tharon Mayes are another couple of good players out of New Haven

 

[FfldCntyFan]

Sly Williams.

Sly was as talented as anyone. Unfortunately he had so little common sense it's amazing that he did (briefly) make it to the NBA.
