The 2025 recruiting class hasn’t quite begun to take shape for Kentucky basketball, but coach Mark Pope is working hard at it. Recently, a visit to Lexington was set up for top five recruit Darryn Peterson. Now, the a visit from forward Tounde Yessoufou is scheduled as well.
Yessoufou has seen interest rise in him since Kentucky first contacted him a few months ago. He’s now the 21st overall player in the 247sports composite rankings and rated five stars.

Kentucky’s interest in Yessoufou has continued to spike, and now, they’ll host the forward for a visit. He’s set to be in Lexington on August 1st or 2nd, according to On3’s Joe Tipton (subscription required).
Kentucky will likely make an official offer to Yessoufou when he visits, and have a solid chance at landing him. He has previously had a lot of good things to say about the Wildcats program. Fans are still waiting for Pope to land a big-time recruit, and Tounde Yessoufou could be the first domino to fall.
