    Tounde Yessoufou, a five-star wing in the class of 2025, has cut his list to Arizona State, Baylor and USC, and will make his decision on at 3:30 ET/12:30 PT on Oct. 2.

    The 6-foot-6 Benin native visited Baylor on August 31, while traveling to USC and Arizona State in June.

    Yessoufou previously broke down two of the schools for ZAGSBLOG:

    Baylor: “They’re a great team out there. They’ve been winning for a long time, they play freshman and like you see in the draft they develop players really well.”

    USC: Eric Musselman is a great coach. He’s shown everybody since Arkansas that and putting players into the NBA as one-and-dones. I’ve been to a few practices, I like how he coaches them and builds their confidence. The staff has been amazing as well.”

    In terms of his play style, Yessoufou attacks downhill and demands attention on the interior.

    “I can attack the basket and bring power on offense and defense,” he said. “Basically anything the coaches want me to do, I’ll do it. I can shoot it a little bit, but my main thing is getting other teams in foul trouble.”
