Class of 2025 hoops recruit in contact with UCLA

UCLA swinging for the fences again.

The UCLA Bruins men’s basketball program just continues to swing for the fences. Shortly after adding McDonald’s All-American Trent Perry, the Bruins have now also been in contact with one of the top recruits in the Class of 2025, Tounde Yessoufou.

He has heard from a number of schools but mentioned the following programs have expressed the most interest, per 247 High School Hoops: Kentucky, Tennessee, Arizona, Texas, UCLA, USC, and Stanford.

He plays at St. Joseph High School in California and has been on a tear at the Nike EYBL so far this year and has been a hot commodity across the country.

Now, UCLA is trying the best they can to add him and find a way to keep him in California. He is a four-star prospect in a lot of rankings but has more time to develop before he finishes high school, so it will be interesting to keep tabs on his pursuit.
