2026 Recruiting: Abdou Toure

Abdou Toure | Notre Dame
Abdou Toure, a 6-foot-5 small forward ranked No. 29 in the class of 2026, made a major statement during Saturday's action. Traveling down from Connecticut with his Notre Dame squad, Toure outplayed his national ranking and emerged as the top overall standout of the day. He's clearly added muscle to his frame over the past year, and it showed as he got down hill, finished above the rim, knocked down shots and consistently created off the bounce. Offensively, he got to his spots at will, and defensively, he was disruptive by jumping passing lanes.

Hurley was there watching him this weekend.

Looks like they're playing 3 games this weekend and 3 games the next. I have a BallerTV account from my old team still so I'll give them a watch and gets some stats/notes.

This should be a good way to judge Abdou... with a team he's playing a real system on both ends, familiar with his teammates and coaches, and playing against some legit competition.
 
Brandon Bass Junior. Wow I am old.

And it seems that the NBA and college are literally just full of 2nd generation players! And Hollywood!

What happened to the meritocracy!!!!! :)

Good to know. I was wondering about that. The article said Kim English was courtside watching him but didn't mention Hurley. I guess PC has as good a chance as anyone.

Abdou's high school coach listed head coaches that were in attendance on his twitter... my mistake though. It wasn't "head coaches"... so we watched Abdou, just unclear which coach(es) from UConn were in the building.

Someone needs to buy a Hurley prerecorded message for Kim English to get in his head further.

Swarthmore lol. Can't wait for Abdou to dominate Haverford.

I saw Richard Kent with another tweet about Abdou and he made some weird comparison to Betsey getting the Cincy offer and taking it instead of the hometown offer, and he can't see how Abdou would do the same.

I say weird because it didn't seem to have any real connection other than that he thought Betsey made a mistake. But that doesn't mean much for Abdou, really. But he was essentially saying "why is Abdou Toure not committing to UConn now" so I guess that's something.

Richard needs to relax. Toure hasn't even played in the big AAU championships yet.

I'm pretty sure we backed of Betsey and not the other way around.

Most likely. I think Kent was saying he thinks Abdou should take the offer because it makes sense in every way, so why wait and risk ending up like Betsey.

I don’t disagree with the sentiment but like auror says, he’s getting a bit worked up for being not that late in the summer. All these kids like getting courted.
 
A nice article:

UConn, the in-state program, has also left a strong impression. "They're the hometown school. They're good," Toure said. "They have some elite freshmen coming in and multiple players returning. They're going to be good."

Feels a lot like the Clingan recruitment that was pretty mum around UConn and then he committed and it came out he never really considered anywhere else.

Brandon Bass?? We'll that was a fun recruitment back in the olden days.
 
I think the order, if that’s the order the coach named them, sounds like his most likely destinations. UConn and Providence are close by and Kansas and Arkansas are obvious choices as well Kansas being Kansas and Cal at Arkansas. The others I don’t think have a chance

One thing about Toure, I don't think he shies away from competition from teammates like some recruits do.
