2026 Recruiting: Abdou Toure update 4/15/24

[superjohn]

Haven't heard about any UConn interest but London Jemison from Hartford can really play. Ranked #58 on 247 and #54 on rivals for '25. Hit 7 threes in Expressions first game this weekend. Another nice kid who puts in the work.

I like this kid. He shows more and more handles, shooting, and he's more fluid every time I watch him. He's also the rare player in AAU who plays like a team player. I hope the staff starts showing him a little love.

I'll update a little more by the end of the weekend. I agree overall. He's getting better, and fast. Showing flashes like you'd expect from a sophomore.

I hope he gets somewhere known for coaching guys up, because he's got all the tools. Just needs to refine and develop IQ

I'm talking about London Jemison who is on the oldest Expressions team. '25 who played with Tyler Betsey this past season at St. Thomas More, he's going to be better than Betsey IMO.

Yup didn't see who you were responding to. He's good

Latest game he was quiet for most of it, then pulled away all by himself for the double-digit win. Must have had 9 points, 2 blocks and 4 assists in the 4th quarter. Looked sharp. Couple stats I fixed because the book got it wrong. He was absolutely on fire with a mid-range pull-up today. Very Dwyane Wade-esque. Tons of blocks, athletic, didn't turn it over but passed well. Settling in for the weekend. Great performance.

Sounds like a good 3 and D athlete potentially.

My wife accuses me of cheating on her with "my internet boyfriends." So I'm not so sure the yard is good for me, lol.

429: Why do you have to make it like it's a gay thing?

429's wife: Honey, the site is actually called "The Boneyard", so...

Nah. His strength is driving and cutting. Limited as a shooter.

From Danny’s brother, that’s terrible. Time to beat your brother head to head, Danny.

My wife thinks I love UConn hoops more than her. Hard to convince her otherwise. Naturally I refer to the team as we or us. She said to me last year “ I have been meaning to ask you, what number are you?”

I know a mutual person with connections to Abdou who doesn’t think he wants to stay in state. Guess we’ll see

Probably because we're now involved with 5 stars. He wanted a UConn offer.

 

[UCTitleTown]

Take the Yale offer.

He's 2026, how many 2026 offers from UConn are even out there right now?

I loudly applaud your love for UConn Mens basketball
However, I bow to your better half for her question to you! One of my peeves is when people call teams as we or us. Bravo!!!! I have been posing that exact question to others for years.

Based on the person who posted about the assistant coach, and his quotes about us previously, I’m sorta doubting this. Long way to go until we find out.

This isn’t to be taken as gospel. It was his opinion. Don’t know how or why he formed that opinion. But he’s close to the family. We’ll see. I hope he’s wrong.

Toure was far too keen at first. Now he has to play off his options so UConn and the NIL people don't take him for granted.

Plus, he does need to keep his options open. A lot can change in the next year.

 

[UCTitleTown]

I like Toure, but given the quality of kids we're involved with, I'm not going to sweat a kid going elsewhere. I liked Betsey, but was fine when he chose Cinci. It would be nice to have a CT kid on the roster though.

 

[uconnbill]

I want to see him come to UConn as local players dream of playing here.

I hope Hurley and his staff recruit him hard as I love rooting for the local player

While fans don’t play (obviously), they do make an impact with their energy and support. That’s why coaches and players frequently remark about how the passion of their home crowd helped feed them. There’s a very good reason why teams are better at home than on the road.

The kid is nasty.

WE and Us are the 6th Man!

4 of the starting 5 have the same last names? All related or just like smith, jones, brown in usa?

The second explanation. The Fulani ethnicity, largest or second largest in Guinea depending on who you talk to, has 6 commonly used last names.
