Yessoufou on Kansas

In a previous interview with On3, Tounde Yessoufou discussed the Jayhawks.

“I’ve been talking a lot with Coach (Kurtis) Townsend. He’s a great guy, one of the guys who has really recruited me the most honestly. Seeing Bill Self coming to my Section 7 games, twice. I had never seen him in person, so it meant a lot for me to see the head coach to take the time to come and watch me. Obviously, he is one of the great coaches in basketball, too and the atmosphere is great there. So I am excited to get to the campus and see what the relationship is like with the team.”

Scouting Report

“Tounde Yessoufou is a physically developed, explosively athletic wing prospect. Consistent production is the name of the game for the 6-5 Yessoufou. Defensively, he guards multiple positions, able to move his feet on the perimeter or switch down to guard some on the block. He has the quick-twitch to defend the ball and the anticipation and length as a team defender. Offensively, he has a solid pace and is at his best getting downhill in straight lines. Yessoufou needs to continue working on his middle game and his counters off the bounce. The jump shot is coming along but could also use some continued attention. The shot release can get flat and his balance/footwork get off when shooting off movement. He fills the lanes hard, pushes the break with pace, and is tough on the boards. He has consistently produced in every setting. Excellent motor.” – On3’s Jamie Shaw
