**FUCKING HUGE GET!** Top Prospect Tounde Yessoufou Joins Baylor Hoops

Top-Rated Prospect Commits to Baylor, Citing Strong Faith and Winning Spirit

In a major coup for the Baylor Bears, highly touted small forward Tounde Yessoufou announced his commitment to the program on Wednesday. The 6-foot-5 senior from Saint Joseph High School in California chose Baylor over Arizona State and USC, citing the school’s strong sense of community and faith as key factors in his decision.

“I felt an instant connection with the campus and the people,” Yessoufou said. “It’s a place where I can focus on my goals without distractions, and the program’s commitment to faith really resonated with me.”

Yessoufou was also impressed by Baylor’s winning tradition and the developmental opportunities available to him. He praised the program’s style of play and the success of its recent freshmen, who have a strong chance of being drafted into the NBA.

The highly rated prospect was won over by Coach Scott Drew’s authenticity and track record of producing champions. “I trust my instincts, and his 23 years of experience at Baylor speak for themselves,” Yessoufou said. “He knows what it takes to be a winner, and I believe he can help me reach my ultimate goal of making it to the NBA.”

Yessoufou is expected to make an immediate impact for the Bears, who will be losing two senior starters in the backcourt. With his defensive and scoring abilities, he has the potential to be a game-changer for the program.

“I’m excited to get to Waco, make a difference, and bring another championship trophy to the city,” Yessoufou said. “Let’s make history again.”

Ranked No. 18 in the ESPN 100 for the 2025 class, Yessoufou is one of the top small forwards in the country. He averaged 16.9 points and 4.7 rebounds on the Nike EYBL circuit last spring and impressed at the Nike Peach Jam in July, averaging 21.8 points and shooting nearly 39% from 3-point range.

Yessoufou’s commitment marks the fifth consecutive recruiting class in which Baylor has landed a five-star prospect, solidifying the program’s reputation as a destination for top talent.
