Tounde Yessoufou, one of the top small forwards in the 2025 class, has scheduled an official visit to Arizona for June 16-18.
This will be the second official visit for the 6-foot-5 rising senior out of St. Joseph High School (CA), as he’s also been to Washington, but with the old coaching staff.
Yessoufou, a four-star recruit, also holds offers from the likes of Tennessee, USC, Stanford, Arizona State, Texas, California, Kansas, UNLV, UCLA, and others.
According to the On3 Industry Ranking, Yessoufou is the No. 24 overall player in the nation in the 2024 cycle. The On3 Industry Ranking is a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.
On3’s evaluators are higher on him, ranking him 15th in the class.
Yessoufou talks Arizona
In a previous interview with On3, Yessoufou discussed the Wildcats.
“They have a great atmosphere and Coach (Tommy) Lloyd is amazing. The relationship with the coaches is one of the things that stands out. It’s a great campus. When you go to a game the fans are loud and they love you. It’s a lot like a community where everyone loves each other. When you go to the games, the atmosphere is like a place that you want to play in front of.”
Scouting Report
“Tounde Yessoufou is a physically developed, explosively athletic wing prospect. Consistent production is the name of the game for the 6-5 Yessoufou. Defensively, he guards multiple positions, able to move his feet on the perimeter or switch down to guard some on the block. He has the quick-twitch to defend the ball and the anticipation and length as a team defender. Offensively, he has a solid pace and is at his best getting downhill in straight lines. Yessoufou needs to continue working on his middle game and his counters off the bounce. The jump shot is coming along but could also use some continued attention. The shot release can get flat and his balance/footwork get off when shooting off movement. He fills the lanes hard, pushes the break with pace, and is tough on the boards. He has consistently produced in every setting. Excellent motor.” – On3’s Jamie Shaw
