2026 Recruiting: Abdou Toure update from aaron torres

[FriarJ]

If cal has another mediocre to bad year he’ll be looking for the exit hatch. No guarantee Toure ends up there even if he announces for them

Frankly that was more likely to happen at PC. Cal made it to the sweet 16 last year. For the 1st year I would say that was successful.

Same.

Maybe right on Sanogo, didn’t check but this is an article from Hawkins on his rise from 67 to 52.

Handful of players rise in updated Top 150 for 2021

The updated Top150 for the class of 2021 features known commodities at the top in Jon Kuminga and Chet Holmgren. The rest of the list comes with less fanfare, especially in a

I hope Toure crushes it at Arkansas.

It doesn’t impress me. Throw a bunch of money spend a crazy amount of time pursuing and then lose out. We don’t offer 1.4, I know you would like him to be embarrassed but don’t make stuff up.

To your point though, he has to win, this year. I frankly was ready to pull the plug last year but I’m on board for this year. Let’s see. The losses were one thing but the techs and getting into it with fans were disgraceful. You want to be a jerk on the sidelines? You better win.

Yes you did - very valid source. Go vet it and circle the wagons with any insiders at PC and come back with and oh yeah, we did. Arkansas offered 1.3mm, PC 1.4mm. Don't have a number on Uconn, but anything discussed was likely well under that (would guess around 750K).

Arkansas is all-in on Cal and he ain't going anywhere. S16 and honestly should have been in the E8 as he friggin blew that game to TT. I think they were up in the teens with like 4 minutes to go.

It’s called Recruiting News on the freeboard. The pay board has a couple of them.

Saw that one, but thought Toure would have deserved his own thread especially before last night.

Kenya Hunter recruited Hawkins.

Zach Brown is great. I’ve seen him a few times. I can see Zach entertaining college kids. He can play whatever they want to hear with his own twist on it. Just a great band and a cool guy.

I’ve also seen Carrie Underwood twice (at the CMA Festival). I’m kind of done with the whole Carrie Underwood thing. There was just too much of her for too long and now she’s entered the aging icon phase. I just don’t see too many people dying to see her at this point, especially college kids. I’m not even sure the parents care much either.

Regardless, pretty big time get for PC. Kudos.

Zac Brown is a cool dude. I built a home on a hillside in Homer, Alaska a few years ago and he built a home right above mine. We used the same builder actually.

Anyway, a good friends of mine have a really cool bakery/restaurant in town that serves beer and wine as well. Zac called them and rented the place out for an event with his family and a bunch of friends/fans. She was like these are good old boys, I need to get a liquor license, so she gets this license and buys a bunch of whiskey and other liquor. The next day her husband comes up to my house to give me a couple bottles of nice whiskey.

I’m like what is this about? He said they only drank White Zinfandel and they had to run to local liquor store to buy up all their stock to keep them happy.

Too funny.

Can always transfer. The doors of Gampel are open in 2026 for him when things tank in Arkansas. One and done is not just the pros with Cal any more. See Boogie Fland.

Not ranked all year and in the sweet 16 is not nearly enough to feed cals ego…especially after being run out of town at uk for not being able to have success in this new paradigm

And the Torre thread goes…….boom. It was nice while it lasted but it never was Diamond Stone.
