2026 Recruiting: Abdou Toure

[HungryHu5ky]

I believe the only thing slowing him up is his shooting but at least he had a decent form but he definitely need to put in a lot of work to become a consistent 35-40% 3pt shooter.. athleticism is thru the roof but then again CT high school comp isn’t anything to be wow’d about when evaluating someone as talented as he is

I once beat Cliff Robinson (rip uncle Cliffy) in a game of knockout at a summer camp. True story.

We don’t and have never really offered CT kids. Talked to some some people in his crew..he wants the offer. We just won’t

Sachems. Greatest nickname. How dare they change it!

Why does it mean more the later it's offered?

Because the big boys normally offer later. It signifies that a UConn offer is not common. Everyone doesn’t get one. Not even the best of the best. It’s an exclusive offer.

This is absolute ridiculous. I Believe we offered Clingan as a high school sophomore. The crap you spew is laughable.

The UConn that offered Clingan is not the UConn of today. Hurley was rebuilding the program, had no pros and no championships. He had to offer early to have a shot. That isn’t the case anymore. Whether he offers now or in the summer won’t make a difference. They’re in contact.

Mullins, Reibe, Adams, Flagg, McNeeley were all offered late.

Oh and block me

I like Miyakawa but that first point seems pretty obvious, no? Good players make good teams. Who would have thought.

Yeah I think it's just kind of getting the elephant out of the room first. The first priority should be talent. Talent is more important than cohesion or internal development in a vacuum. Ideally you'd have both (like say UConn or Maruqette), but if you have to pick one, pick talent first.

Nope means I am, very!
