Top-35 Wing Abdou Toure Commits to Arkansas Over Providence and UConn

He says John Calipari’s NBA development track record clinched his decision.

Overview

  • The 6-foot-6 Notre Dame (West Haven, Conn.) standout announced his choice Friday after official visits to Arkansas and Providence and an unofficial trip to UConn.
  • He selected the Razorbacks over his other finalists, countering late expectations that leaned toward Providence.
  • Toure is ranked No. 31 nationally in ESPN’s SC Next 100 and is widely regarded as a top-35 prospect in the 2026 class.
  • He was the Gatorade Connecticut Player of the Year after averaging 25.1 points as a junior and logged 15.4 points and 5.1 rebounds on the Adidas 3SSB circuit this summer.
  • His commitment is Arkansas’ second for 2026, joining five-star JaShawn Andrews, as Calipari continues pursuing additional high-end targets.
