Toure on his commitment to Arkansas

Abdou Toure discussed his decision to commit to Arkansas with Rivals.

“I picked Arkansas because I love what coach Cal is about and to be part of a team with a real shot at winning a national championship. I trust the coaches because they’re straight up with me and have a solid plan for how to help me get better and help me become the best player I can become.”

In his own words, what type of player is Arkansas getting in Toure?

“I’d say my game is all about being a playmaker. I can score, pass, and defend, and I love to compete. I’m always looking to make the right play and help the team win.”

He has a message for Arkansas fans.

“Yo, Razorback fans get ready to go wild! I’m coming to Arkansas to bring the energy and help us win some games. Let’s do this!!!!!!!”

This past season as a junior, Toure 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.
