Elite local basketball prospect Mady Sissoko injured while on recruiting visit to BYU

Ravell Call

Wasatch Academy big man Mady Sissoko, considered one of the Top 50 high school basketball players in the country for the Class of 2020 by multiple recruiting websites, was injured while on a recruiting visit to BYU.

Multiple outlets have previously reported that the 6-foot-9, 230-pound Sissoko broke his hand last weekend while riding ATVs on the visit, and Wasatch Academy confirmed that on Thursday.

“He was injured in an activity planned and sponsored by the University when he was with other members of the BYU basketball team and coaching staff," the high school said in a statement.
