"Yeah, definitely," he said if he has noticed increased interest from coaches. "Kentucky, I notice more top schools like Baylor just offered me, Tennessee, all of that stuff. They offered me because they see something good in me and obviously they have great programs with a winning sort. I am all about winning so I am super happy they all notice me and what I have to offer."

Kentucky still hasn't offered Yessoufou but he went into deeper detail regarding some of the schools involved in his recruitment.

Baylor: "Before we had a Zoom meeting he told me that he liked the fact that I am always about winning with the way I play on the floor and how I always play hard. He said that I can fit in the program. He has been there 23 years for a reason. He always wins. It has been amazing just to be able to talk to the head coach. Him being able to come out here and watch me play means a lot. We are trying to plan a visit and all of that stuff."

Kansas: "I was happy to see Bill Self himself come watch my game and I was super excited. I really don't get caught up in emotion. I just stick to my plan, keep playing and just do me. Basketball was built in Kansas. The fanbase is crazy, Bill Self is an amazing coach. I want to go over there and see the campus, learn and all of that."

Kentucky: "I think I am going to go on an official visit in August. I don't know yet but we are still talking about it and all of that stuff. When I came over here that was my dream school and I am still looking for the offer so I am just keeping on building a relationship with the coaches. I have been talking to coach Mark Pope."

Tennessee: "I am definitely going on a visit. We talked about it last week and are trying to figure out our schedule and same thing with Kansas."

Yessoufou had Scott Drew, Tommy Lloyd, Bill Self, Mick Cronin and an assistant from Tennessee all on the baseline for his game against Roosevelt on Saturday evening.

Arizona remains heavily involved while UCLA could be one to monitor in the coming weeks to see if they ramp up their interest but Yessoufou was in a rush to spend time with his parents and unable to delve deeper into the Wildcats and Bruins with 247Sports.

Anyone with 247 sub?


The six-foot, 185-pound point guard made a big leap in the latest 2025 rankings update moving up from the No. 133 overall spot all the way to ranking No. 72 overall in the country.
He further discussed where things stand with the Volunteers, Wake Forest, Florida and Cincinnati as he prepares for Peach Jam in early July.

Cincinnati: "Coach [Wes] Miller is a great coach. He is energetic and not that old either. The staff is great, they're energetic. They all call me. I love that program, they're great."

Florida: "I took a visit there last week and it was great. Coach [Kevin] Hovde, coach [Todd] Golden they're a great staff and a great program as well."

Tennessee: "They're great with small guards. I am not the biggest guard and they have a great development program and the coaching staff is amazing. I talk to coach Rod Clark and he has been keeping in touch with me and telling me things that I need to improve on to play at the highest level. I will go in the fall, it's not set yet but I will go in the fall."

Wake Forest: "He [Steve Forbes] calls me and lets me know that he loves my game and how I am a pass-first point guard, how I get my teammates involved. He stays in touch, he is good."
Moving forward, Tillery will be monitoring those he feels prioritized by between people staying in contact with him and those who continue to show up to his games before setting visits and making a list cut.

"Maybe after the summer, see what schools reach out to me the most after Peach Jam and Section 7 and just narrow my list down," he said as to what's next.

"None scheduled but I will definitely be taking some," he added on the visit front. "Maybe in August but definitely in the fall."

As he weighs his school options, there's a small chance that he could make a move up into the 2024 class and enroll for the 2024-25 season.

"I doubt it, it's very slim," he said as to the chances he makes the move. "It has to be a perfect setup because where I am at at New Hampton, another year of development would be great for me just to keep improving my game, especially my shooting, getting my overall game better, getting more flexible and stronger in the weight room and stuff like that."
