[JesusAllen11]

Abdou gets any more Alabama level offers , Danny has to swoop in and secure him asap. He is gonna borderline 5 star , it would be embarrassing

Nate Oats is just trying to copy Hurley in everything he does

Yup. It's like Burger King building across the street from McDonalds.

If this kid is a 5* or a high 4* and we don’t get him, it will be because our coaching staff determines that he isn’t a fit for our program culture.

Yea but he is a culture fit. He just needs to improve pedigree

 

[Hey Adrien!]

 

[HooperScooper]

As Abdou himself said, "It's a process."

Trust the process.

 

[Mister P]

 

[Hey Adrien!]

Oh, it's ON:

 

[Drame]

247 still only has him ranked 82 and on3 only 127. Rivals has him unranked.

 

[Kenny11]

Hahaha I remember when Syracuse offered Clingan. I expect Hurley to take care of this shortly.

 

[nomar]

Oh, it's ON:

I like that he had to specify that Cuse is D1. Kids these days probably don't even know that.

 

[AllHusky]

Tounde-Toure
first name-last name
2025-2026
Why Not-ND West haven

Okay, might be able to recognize these kids by name

Why wouldn't he?

 

[Mr. French]

University of Syracuse, Syracuse University, same thing.

He's an absolute fit. I've seen him play multiple times and he's as happy or happier for his teammates' success as his own. When asked why winning a state championship is important, he said because he wanted it for his coach who has coached so many years but never one a state championship. Great character kid and amazingly athletic.

 

[Rico444]

University of Canada, Syracuse University, same thing.

Fixed

 

[Hey Adrien!]

Full court press:

From what yarders have seen in media spots and on the court, the kid does indeed look like a promising fit. Doing and saying the right things in those areas. But remember that our coaches go well beyond that in their evaluations.

So, you can’t really say he is an absolute fit unless you are one of the staff members. Not throwing shade at you or anyone else.

We're watching him so much, I've gotta think we are just waiting for the right moment to make the offer be memorable. Have we missed a game during a live period this year?

From 247 a few days ago:

Abdou Toure, Expressions Elite​

With the 2024 summer recruiting period now at an end, Toure certainly looks like one of the big winners in the national class of 2026. He's powerful, athletic, with good positional size on the wing and just an absolute recking ball going to the rim. His ability to make huge, momentum changing plays, in transition is second to none, but he can also create in the half-court. He has a quick first-step, plays through contact with ease, and then rises up with both quickness and power. His recruitment has really ascended in recent weeks with Providence, Arizona State, UCF, Alabama, Oregon, Penn State, Louisville, Texas A&M and Syracuse being among the schools to offer,with Connecticut also visibly monitoring his progress as well.

I don't love us competing with Arizona State for recruits. Arizona State got the stud Sanon that we offered.

You have to think Arizona ST and providence have just as good a chance as anyone to land Toure.

We didn't seriously recruit him.

The spelling of "wrecking" is hurting my soul. Love the local kid getting some serious attention... seems like we've put so much time into him an offer is just a matter of time.

Any word on him prepping? Talking was big a few months ago but it's getting pretty late for an enrollment change.
