Notre Dame-West Haven basketball star Abdou Toure is poised to make a pivotal decision regarding his college future. The dynamic forward has announced on Instagram that he has narrowed his college choices to three finalists: Arkansas, Providence, and UConn. Toure will reveal his decision on Friday, October 3, at Notre Dame.
With a strong track record in high school basketball, Toure has made official visits to Arkansas and Providence, while he has taken three unofficial trips to UConn. Reflecting on the recruitment process, he expressed his gratitude for the opportunities and experiences he has had, stating, “It just feels right to make the decision next week. It’s a blessing going on all of these visits, all these coaches calling me. I’ve enjoyed it. It’s fun.”
Toure, a 6-foot-5 forward, is a highly regarded four-star recruit currently ranked 33rd in the 247 Sports Composite Rankings and 31st in the 2026 ESPN 100. His remarkable high school career has led him to two consecutive CIAC Division I championships with a stellar record of 53 wins and only 2 losses. His achievements have earned him accolades, including being named a two-time GametimeCT Boys Basketball Player of the Year, with an impressive average of 25.2 points, 6.5 rebounds, and 3.3 assists per game last season.
The recruitment process has gained significant attention, with coaches vying for Toure’s commitment, including a recent visit from Arkansas men’s basketball coach John Calipari. Toure initially narrowed down his list to seven schools earlier in August, dropping notable programs such as Florida State, Louisville, Maryland, and Oregon.
As the anticipation builds for Toure’s announcement, fans of high school basketball and prospective colleges alike are closely following his journey, eager to see where this talented player will take his game next. His decision will not only impact his future but also shape the trajectory of the programs he is considering.
