"Anthony Edwards I see ya": Hoops fans react to Baylor signee Tounde Yessoufou setting an all-time California high school basketball record

After signing for Baylor, Tounde Yessoufou has broken an all-time California high school basketball record after leading St. Joseph High School to a 93-62 victory over Weston Ranch on Saturday. The No. 15 recruit in the Class of 2025 finished the game with 30 points to become California's all-time leading scorer.

Yessoufou scored his 3,463rd high school career point to pass DeMarcus Nelson of Vallejo and Sheldon (Sacramento) who scored 3,462 points in 130 matches. It took the 6-foot-5 small forward 120 games to achieve this feat. Famous basketball page The Hoops Pill shared some highlights of Yessoufou on Instagram on Sunday:

Fans in the comments section compared Yessoufou to the two-time NBA All-Star Anthony Edwards:
