2026 Recruiting: Abdou Toure Offered

[superjohn]

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.

Zero chance he goes to 2027. The having to leave public school to be ready thing is so overplayed. He plays for a high level AAU team, he played international ball, his high school team played in Poland and Florida.

People on this board said that big kid from Bristol played against chumps, he was too heavy, and he would be exposed at UConn.

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

He kind of did. Bristol central played against the high school i team at...and I agree with what you are saying.

No, no, let them keep saying it, it worked well with Clingan when he was doubted.

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.

This is all definitely true, but I still don't think I've ever seen him be right about a recruit lol. He said we'd get Tyler Betsey, was hyping UConn for Flagg, etc.

Back in the day when burgers tasted like real meat and brought to your car. Traveling through Ohio would always look for one.
