Is this kid’s game similar to Hamidou Diallo? Not that I watched him much either, but I just remember everybody losing their minds when he picked Kentucky.
 
Saw Abdou Toure this AM in Kingdom of the Sun in Ocala. He was 7 for 7 from 3pt land.
Exceptional athlete and BB player. Whoever said 5 * I agree. Needs strength and work on D but only a junior.

Guys Hurley likes currently more than Toure. The math isn’t hard. Hurley wants to see more before he offers. You’re over thinking it

You make this sound like you know this for a fact when you are just reading the tea leaves.

He’s currently working with an elite strength coach in CT so I don’t have worries about his development on that end. High school D in CT is impossible to assess, it’s so much more effort than skill at that stage

Well, HD was basically a practice player at UConn before spurning us, so AT is nothing like him.

Qayden Samuels, another 6-5, 200 SG. He's from Maryland and I believe his sister plays for the women's team. 5 star ranked #16 nationally.

Samuels and Toure* would be an amazing wing duo to build the class around. We'll also prob need another forward and big man. Liam is gone after this year and Mullins sounds more and more like a one and done after next year. I doubt Ball and Stew will still be here as seniors.

Guards:
Nowell (jr) / Adams (so)

Wings:
Ross (sr) / Furphy (so) / Toure* (fr) / Samuels (fr)

Forwards:
Abe (jr) / ??? (fr)

Bigs:
Singare (sr) / Reibe (so) / ??? (fr)

I’m using common sense. If Hurley wanted to or felt he needed to offer by now he would have. Yes we know that

Like MJK said. Wouldn't worry about defense or strength. He's still a baby and has a great frame.

Love that he's having tje mind of season where he'll take 7 from deep in a game. Reps reps reps is key at this age.

I love Joe Torre as much as the next guy, but isn't he a little old to be a freshman?

This is a follow-up report on Abdou Toure, 2G, Notre Dame, West Haven. Saw his game today and he led the team to victory over Albany NY., Green Tech. Abdou was more focused on scoring up close today as he only took 5 shots from 3 pt. land. (He made 2)

What impressed me the most today was his willing and crafty passing. This game was close throughout, but ND pulled it out late.

Got a chance to chat with his personable Dad afterwards and he mentioned Kimani would be calling again soon. UCONN is definitely keeping close tabs on Toure. Dad seemed favorable when he spoke about our Huskies. I believe we have as good a chance as anyone. Did I speak to Abdou? Of course! More later.

Husky 429---- Just be glad you didnt cave in to your 3rd grade crush !!!

3rd GF, not 3rd-grade. I'm pretty sure my 3rd-grade crush is dead. By contrast, my 3rd-girlfriend is still alive and well...and 9 years later that is still a rather terrifying prospect. That girl threw everything I owned out of a 3rd-story window except my mattress.

Sounds like you probably deserved it.
