    I hadn't heard about this recruit until today, and I was wondering if anyone had any solid info on him. I just read him talking about the fact that UConn is his dream school, and that Kevin Ollie has let him know that an offer is on the table:

    Here is his page:

    http://rivals.yahoo.com/connecticut/basketball/recruiting/player-Akoy-Agau-109947

    Seems like he has a gigantic list of offers from really good programs, and it's alway great to hear someone talk about UConn like that...

    He's not going to take this back or say he was misquoted right?

    Wow! He's got like 40 programs listed with 75% of them offering him a ship, but he's only a 3-star rated recruit unranked as far as Rivals top 100 or top players per his position. Now this doesn't mean he's not a player. Being from Nebraska, probably doesn't help exposure wise. But I don't recall ever seeing a player so unheralded having so much interest and so many offers.

    Either he's much better than his rating or has some uber-PR firm behind him. :)

    I think he would be a good addition, but definitely not because he reminds me of Curtis Kelly.

    Curtis Kelley's problem was not his game.

    Curtis Kelly did have problems with his game. While at UConn he wasn't strong with the ball and turned it over too much. Additionally, he had problems off the court. He wasn't even close to being as good a player as his high school rating would suggest.

    He was at UConn for two years. He played quite well at KSU (when he played). A lot had to do with his personality. His game/potential was not the problem.

    He made that statement months ago about UConn being his favorite. Nice to see UConn finally offer the player

    This would be a great pick up for UConn. Huge character kid. Refugee from Sudan who has experienced some pretty harsh times in his life and has come out of it extremely mature for his age with a great work ethic. Couldn't ask for more from that front. The one concern is that the competition is borderline terrible in Nebraska. It seems most good athletes focus on football around there. If he can continue to do well in AAU tournaments/ camps than he could turn out to be a cornerstone of the team in the post Calhoun era.
