Arkansas coach John Calipari landed a commitment from four-star forward Abdou Toure on Friday.
The 6-foot-5 senior from Notre Dame High in West Haven, Conn., is ranked No. 34 overall in the Class of 2026 by the 247Sports composite.
Toure chose the Razorbacks over Providence and UConn.
“Coach Cal and his history was the main reason I chose Arkansas,” Toure told ESPN. “The way he treats his players and how he cares for all his players, along with his energy, was the difference. He is always there for his players. He is the type of coach I can have an open conversation with, and he prepares his players for the NBA. I watched the practices, and they were high intensity.”
Toure averaged 15.4 points and 5.1 rebounds on the Adidas 3SSB circuit this summer. He was the Gatorade player of the year in Connecticut last season after averaging 25.1 points per game as a junior.
Toure joins five-star forward JaShawn Andrews, who committed to the Razorbacks’ 2026 class in May.
