2026 Recruiting: Abdou Toure Offered

[superjohn]

Kid has serious athleticism/ups, look at his head on this block from yesterday.

Sometimes the irrational exuberance can get the best of you. I start thinking how this top player, who I'm sure will be a 5-star before it's over, wants to come here. They close the deal and you know that will open the flood gates. Then you think how we have the best class ever coming in next season, and you wonder. Is this a bridge year?

Not a bridge year - this team still has upside. Challenge is a core part of this team was recruited when we didn’t have nearly the clout and more developmental.

I guess my point is we're still this good coming off a title and a monster class coming in. In the old days, the bridge year was the NIT.

Very true - the JC years were clockwork win it, exodus and reload for next run in 3/4 years.

Legit 40+ inch vertical.

I went to a game last season (his sophomore season) where he had 6 alley-oop dunks....

 

[Fairfield_1st]

Yes. We never made it to the Tilted Kilt because the staff were all friends of my buddy's daughters.

I never made it either, but it makes for a good landmark on a board of mostly men.

 

[UCTitleTown]

While wearing the uconn swag i am sure!

Absolutely! Hat and sweatshirt every game.

Love his blend of length, bounce and grit.

Don't jinx us. We've got a tough schedule coming up.

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

This is not a good omen for our chances in getting Toure. The founder of Abdow's Big Boy restaurants has passed away.

I was at the car wash recently and the guy there gave me the nod. All is good in the hood

He was a legend. I'd put his breakfast buffet up against Shoney's any day!

So this kid is like JRoss the 5 star all American version? Interesting if we land him , his freshman year will Ross’s senior year. Could have epic perimeter defense that year.
