Message: [QUOTE="HooperScooper, post: 5342839, member: 10"] From the Courant. Similar to the Borges article. [I]Expecting to retain a number of players from this year’s roster, UConn couldn’t honestly offer Toure the same immediate role as a freshman that figures to be available for him at a school like Providence, which reportedly [URL='https://x.com/DushawnLondon1/status/1972872531792306671']made him an in-home visit[/URL] on Monday and has received a [URL='https://247sports.com/player/abdou-toure-46150813/']“crystal ball” prediction from 247Sports[/URL]. With the amount of resources available for John Calipari at Arkansas, the Razorbacks have also presumably had a greater ability to prioritize the Connecticut product. UConn plans to designate a chunk of its money for high school players who will make an impact right away, and therefore can’t afford to pay high six-figures or even seven for a player who may not see much time on the court in his first year. The Huskies also have to keep in mind the transfer portal in addition to the retention of their own players; both of which figure to make up a good portion of the revenue share dollars in building the 2026-27 roster.[/I] [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.courant.com/2025/09/30/uconn-mens-basketball-recruiting-update-cts-top-prospect-abdou-toure-to-make-decision-friday/[/URL] [B][U]The RuffRuff Alternate Access™:[/U][/B] [URL='https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/other/why-top-recruit-ct-native-may-not-choose-uconn-men-when-he-makes-decision-friday/ar-AA1NC2vl?ocid=BingNewsSerp'][B][COLOR=rgb(44, 130, 201)][SIZE=5]Why top recruit, CT native may not choose UConn men when he makes decision Friday[/SIZE][/COLOR][/B][/URL] [/QUOTE]
