2025 Recruiting: Tounde Yessoufou

We never showed interest in recruiting him so not going to start a thread on him. Happy for the local product, those are three great basketball schools who fork over NIL.

 
Abraham is a 4 year guy, let’s have reasonable expectations for him this year. The team is very deep and seeing the floor will be challenging. Need to focus on the high end guys after consecutive championships. If you can’t get top guys this year then when? I guess it gets easier if you win 3 in a row. I trust 2-3 of the big dogs commit.

UK has nothing but minutes and money available. We are being more selective because we have to be. We’ll get our guys

Exactly and the two kids they picked up are in state, and they apparently paid out the wazoo for one.

UK is thought to be out on Mullins and Yessofou (canx visit), coming in late on Lewis. Don’t see them landing any. They do have some chance with Wilson and Cenac. Lots of minutes and lots of NIL, and still UK. I wouldn’t anoint Pope the new Cal just yet.

Duke, Kansas and UNC hasn’t signed anyone yet either.

Luckily recruiting isn't a race and championships aren't handed out for having recruits commit to you first

50% of recruiting is transfers. 13 of the top 50 hs recruits are committed. Someone do the math for me... Suffice to say, we aren't close to done.

Bummer on Tounde, seemed like he'd have been a fun one in our program. No concerns that we'll get the guys we need, just liked him.
 
Yeah, he may have been my #1 want, but never seemed super interested so not too let down.

UK's new coach has two top 25 commits already and the back-to-back defending champs have none. UK is also a finalist for Lewis and Mullins and Yessoufou. smh.

They had 2 local ~5 stars that they threw the brinks truck at. Word is 1.2 mil for Jasper.

Looks like we’re out here. Article goes on to state visit is cancelled and he’s focusing on Baylor and AZSt and the other Hurley. Not sure we ever put in too much energy with this kid. With Ament not scheduling and Greer going Creighton, our list seems pretty small about now. Would seem staff seems very confident in some of the others, which is really a list of only about 6 now (Lewis, Mullins, Thomas, Bundalo, Reibe, Adams).

Tounde Yessoufou, one of the top prospects in the 2025 class, has canceled his upcoming visits to Kentucky, Kansas, and UConn, he told On3.

Moving forward, the 6-foot-5 small forward out of St. Joseph High (CA) says he will now focus his attention on Arizona State, Baylor, and USC.

Tounde Yessoufou will no longer visit Kentucky, Kansas, and UConn. He is down to Baylor, Arizona State, and USC.

It's still Kentucky, they aren't going away. And Pope will be a better game coach and run actual offensive sets.

They also have gone after absolutely everyone with a first to commit approach. Hurley identifies guys that truly fit the system.

So Yessoufou dropped the three blue bloods from his list. :confused:

As much as I like the kid's game, that probably speaks more than any game tape we could look at. He's asking for too much, they don't think he'll be as versatile at the next level... something.

Context is king. We have a loaded roster. And our coaches do not recruit just anybody.
 
Really loved Tounde, seemed like a swiss Army knife kind of kid with a little development. Somehow don't think we are going to be hurting in the recruiting game. Maybe the opposite. Believe in "no such thing as too much fun or too much money" or maybe in this case too much talent
