    Tounde Yessoufou, a five-star wing in the Class of 2025 from Santa Maria (Calif.), visited Baylor this weekend on the first of several scheduled visits.

    “My visit was really good,” he told ZAGSBLOG by text. “Their message was I am one of their first options and they love how hard I played and that I can impact a lot for them on both end of the floor.”

    He canceled his upcoming visit to UCLA and now has visits scheduled to Arizona State (9/6), UConn (9/21), Kansas (10/4) and Kentucky (10/11), he told ZAGSBLOG.

    In terms of his playing style, he previously told ZAGSBLOG:

    “I can attack the basket and bring power on offense and defense,” he said. “Basically anything the coaches want me to do, I’ll do it. I can shoot it a little bit, but my main thing is getting other teams in foul trouble.”
