2026 Recruiting: Abdou Toure Offered

[Huskybass]

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.

Last night. Hurley & Young saw him against Hillhouse. Fantastic game!

 

[Kitaman]

I'm old school and always want our best State talent to attend UConn. At least have one on the roster.

 

[Dove]

I have a great feeling about Abdou!!

 

[Umami Zen]

First domino for AT. I'm sure Dan gave a lot of thought to the timing of the offer. Trust our staff to put our best foot forward and make the short list(second domino) . Great news

 

[Waquoit]

Was any other old-timer reminded of Abdou's Big Boy?

F yes! We've been waiting for this offer for a long time.

I still haven't gotten a chance to see him live, but I would be so excited if we land him.

He has been offered from Alabama to Yale, so it's gonna be wide open.

Their hot fudge ice cream cake was off the hook.

Not sure who Richard Kent is, but go ahead and preach!

There's nothing I love more than seeing Connecticut kids play for us. Need this to happen.

He’s been around New Haven basketball for about 60 years, does radio for Yale and is around the HS game a lot, an Ivy basketball maven too. I’ll actually be a contributing writer for his upcoming Ivy hoops book.

Sounds like he knows what he's talking about and we just got our first recruit for 2026

Regarding Abdou Toure, I want to add something. I think he might need a year in a high level prep school. CT HS HOOPS is good, but Toure needs more time against top level players. I know he & his squad went to Poland last summer to face better competition. To start at UCONN's level he needs more strength (which he's working on) and more exposure to top level prep players.
Maybe he stays at NDWH, graduates and then goes to prep and enters with the freshman class of 2027. Or possibly preps next season and then enters college fall of 2026.
