Five star 2025 prospect Tounde Yessoufou out of Santa Maria (Calif.) has trimmed his list of schools down to 10. The USC Trojans and Eric Musselman have made the cut, giving the Men of Troy hope that their basketball recruiting efforts can deliver a splash hit.
Baylor, Kansas, Arizona, and Arizona State, Connecticut, Tennessee, Washington, UCLA, Kentucky, and USC round out Yessoufou’s updated list per Joe Tipton.
According to 247Sports, Yessoufou — a 6-foot-7, 210-pound wing — is a five-star, top-20 prospect and is ranked as the sixth-best forward in the 2025 class.
In addition to USC, Yessoufou has already taken official visits to Arizona and Kansas State. Over the next few months he plans to visit Baylor, UConn, Tennessee, and Kansas, with his final official visit being Kentucky.
One of the brightest stars on the Nike EYBL circuit, he averaged 20.8 points and 6 rebounds per game for Team Why Not. USC appears to have made him a top priority as Eric Mussleman and his staff assemble their first true recruiting class in Los Angeles.
