2026 Recruiting: Abdou Toure update from aaron torres

[NJHusky]

Nah losing to either hurts but it’s no biggie. Would love the kid to stay home but there’s so many good players out there makes it less than necessary to keep kids home these days. Almost wouldn’t mind him at PC anyway stay in New England. And heck, after he realizes the mistake he made he can be our portal get in a couple years 😉

Did we lose him, or did we not put on the full court press at the end?

The PC board is all excited that 247 shows a 100% & "high" confidence crystal ball for PC.
They don't show UConn listed as under his college list at all.

When English is inevitably fired at the end of this year or next he can always come home

Probably a good reason to still recruit him despite our offer being less as of now.

This could be a good story. We treat PC as our little brother minor league system. Stay in touch, text him a bit, have him over for some DP dough over the break. Let Kim give him some PT freshmen year, and when he's ready to make a leap to the bigs, we're there for him.

Issue is he's not going to PC.

If we’re getting 2 recruits then I’m Hoping for 1. Mingo and 2. County, because County (backup PG) fills a definite hole (Smith) and Landrew (backup W) doesn’t (Furphy and Ross are both returning unless they transfer out). If we get Mingo and County then hopefully next summer we’d just need a transfer C or better yet a transfer PF/C.

Ball / Furphy
Mingo / Ross
Stew / Transfer
Reibe / Transfer

Can we get the minutes distribution too please? This feels incomplete.

No Keita ? Made his short list

 

[UCfor3]

Because he was practicing fully with the team. It’s not just Hopkins and his posse that we are mad at. English let it happen but since he wanted him to stay there was not much he could do, and after all that we got stiffed. You guys are going to hate him too this year, we all are I’m afraid.

Why did English double down on trying to get Hopkins to stay after he he did them dirty for an entire season? I am genuinely asking.That would seem to be awful for the programs culture and team chemistry. If I am a PC fan, I have to question not only the judgement of English, but also anyone else involved in the decision around the program to up the offer to bring him back after that debacle last season. He had to be shown the door as soon as the season is over regardless of how talented he is. I think the program is better off going forward without him even if it sucks to lose his talent.

My Arkansas buddy is hearing its pc

Why will he be fired?

Because he stinks

Borges said 1 or 2 “prep” commitments and Keita plays professionally but you’re right I I’d prob rather have Keita than a transfer to fill the other definite need (backup PF/C)

He's not?

 

[RuffRuff]

He's not?

Unless someone is intentionally FOS. Let’s put it this way - a teenager a friend of mine knows well is tight with Toure’s BF. Word from the horses mouth is Arkansas.
