Four-star prospect verbally announces commitment to Marquette
Four-star basketball prospect Alassane Amadou announced his commitment to Marquette Thursday afternoon in a live announcement on the 247Sports YouTube channel.
The 6-foot-9, 185 pound power forward from Philadelphia, is ranked 103rd on the 247Sports rating list of recruits in the class of 2023. He plays for Springside Chestnut Hill Academy and Philly Pride AAU program.
He is the second member of the class of 2023 to commit to head coach Shaka Smart, joining Zaide Lowery.
“The decision was pretty easy because my relationship with Coach Smart and the staff was beyond basketball,” Amadou told 247Sports’ Adam Finkelstein. “They really cared about me and that meant a lot to me.”
