2026 Recruiting: Abdou Toure Offered

[UCTitleTown]

This is the exact type of player we need to balance the roster. Legit must get, IMO. As you said, we have no "violent" players and nobody who can make things happen based solely on athleticism and play downhill. I don't think we had much of a chance, but this is why I really wanted the kid who went to Baylor (Tounde...).

Agree with you on Toure and Tounde. Not getting Tounde hurt. He looked like a Larry Johnson clone.

Good nickname for Toure: Toure-nado?

We could use a transition rim threat anyways. We can let him develop his half court game. Has the body to play defense day 1.

I won't say it too loud, but he looks like a Pitino kid. Mid-range game, strong, defender.

I love that he has such a great mid range jumper. It's wild to me how much it's been phased out of the game. I see the middle open all the time and players will instead take contested threes or crash into people down low. It's why SGA and St. John's are so refreshing.

You need a time out

Saw Toure have 6 alley-oop dunks in one game. I've followed CT high school hoops for a LONG time and have never seen that before.

Did you miss the interview where Pitino said he’s not taking high school kids anymore?

Was at his game tonight. Was impressed with how built he is. We need his prototype on this roster

 

[BFieldHusky]

We have made him a priority. Good shape here.
