Kentucky No Longer in Contention for 2025 4-Star SF Tounde Yessoufou

Class of 2025 four-star small forward Tounde Yessoufou is no longer considering Kentucky, he tells KSR+. He is canceling his official visit to Kentucky, originally set for Oct. 11-13, and does not plan to reschedule.

The 6-foot-5, 210-pound small forward from St. Joseph (Santa Maria, CA) told KSR+ that he’s canceling his upcoming visits to UK, Kansas, and UConn. On3’s Joe Tipton was the first to report the news.

Yessoufou will now shift his attention to the remaining three schools on his list. He’s still considering Arizona State, Baylor, and USC.

Caleb Wilson recently took an official visit to Kentucky from Sept. 13-15. Meanwhile, Chris Cenac and Mikel Brown Jr. are set to visit from Sept. 27-29. Acaden Lewis is set to take an official visit to Kentucky this fall, but has not publicly released the date yet.

Kentucky has not made a significant push for four-star guard Kaden Magwood as he takes official visits. Other players such as Nate Ament and Brayden Burries have yet to schedule most of their official visits.
