Top-30 overall recruit Abdou Toure sets official visit to Providence

Abdou Toure, a high four-star prospect in the 2026 class, is taking an official visit to Providence this weekend (August 29-31), he told Rivals.

The 6-foot-5 rising senior of Notre Dame High School (CT) announced his top seven schools last week —  Arkansas, Florida State, Louisville, Maryland, Oregon, Providence, and UConn.

Toure, a native of West Haven, Connecticut, is ranked as the No. 26 overall player in the class, according to the Rivals Industry Ranking. He’s also the No. 7 shooting guard and No. 1 player in Connecticut.

This past season as a junior, he averaged 25.2 points, 6.5 rebounds, 3.3 assists, and 2.3 steals per game. Toure was also the Connecticut Gatorade Player of the Year in 2024-25. 

Prior to cutting down his list, Toure also received offers from Ole Miss, Kansas State, Kansas, Cincinnati, Washington, Utah, Mississippi State, Syracuse, Penn State, Stanford, Alabama, UCF, Arizona State, Rutgers, and others. 

Toure on his game + what he’s looking for in a school

In a previous interview with Rivals, Abdou Toure broke down his game.

“I’d say my game has developed into more stronger, being able to put the ball on the floor more, and really consistent shooting,” Toure tells On3. “I can really do everything and try to win. That’s all I do, try to win the game. I’d say I really watch a lot of Shai (Gilgeous-Alexander) and Ant Edwards. I watch Ant Edwards with his mentality and his physicality, the way he gets to the rim, the way he finishes above the rim. And Shai, with his pace.”

He also knows what he wants in a college program. 

“I want to go somewhere where I could just be myself and play my game. My game is fast-paced, downhill, and I play defense. I want to go somewhere I can develop and get to the NBA.”
