...or DH not liking matchups with him in there.? With Martin playing so poorly lately and Sanogo in constant foul trouble, can’t help but think Akok could have provided a much needed shot in the arm. The little stretch he played a few games back, he hit a 3, had a great drive and scored 7 points...

Injured? Not in the mix for play this postseason or does Hurley think at this time he a liability on the floor?

What happened to Akok? ...why did the original thread get locked out?

I’m worried about Akok. His injury was so devastating. I got so excited the two times he has shown some flashes but a year later he still doesn’t look the same and Hurley definitely doesn’t trust him on the court. I’m also worried about him mentally with the huge expectations he set for himself...

Does anyone know what’s really going on with Akok? Seriously, what kind of crap is this? There’s never been so little information about a player than I can ever remember about a UCONN player. Is he dressed? Is he done for the year? Is it mental? Is it the heel? He’s the second best player on the...

Why didn’t he play except for a blink?

Love to see it

Came in and made an immediate impact.

Did he get hurt in the first half? He played 2 minutes or so and haven’t seen him since. Figured he get some more minutes while whaley and sanoga both in foul trouble. Any word on him?

Or what? Someone is dropping hints.

I know we are focusing on James and the s$@! Show that is, but when will get an Akok update? Is he shut down for the year. Is his shin still hurt? Is he practicing? I really thing he helps with line ups because Whaley and Adama can’t play together but I think Akok could be in the lineup with...

Is he playing or what? He’d be ideal for this matchup with mamu

Any word on what happened to Akok on Saturday? He didn't even suit up.

...is going to be able to get in a rhythm or have time to do almost anything positive by playing 2-3 minutes. Also, he's been fully participating in these extreme 2+ hour practices lately which are more likely to result in an injury than playing 15 minutes in a game. It's time to unleash Akok. .

Let’s go!

Will he get some minutes tonight? I know he traveled with team so just curious

Hope to see him in uniform at Marquette. His defensive presents will make us an elite team.

Surprised this has yet to be posted, but saw this on Twitter courtesy of Colonel Calhoun’s retweet (great follow if you don’t). Anyone hearing any rumblings about this? Seems the last we heard from Hurley is that he wasn’t ready for a couple weeks.

Dawson Garcia has been put on notice.

He would’ve allowed us to rest Whaley and play a better small ball line up. Akok can play the 5 against these types of teams that have active bigs. His shot blocking is really missed as we’d be able to put more pressure on the the three point shooters. Hopefully UCONN doesn’t postpone anymore games

We played through A rough period of being out of the process We started slow but showed great defense again We’re going to have diversify our offense and we will Many many positives With our defense we can be in any game We have a superstar We have post players we well get involved We have...

...others join soon. They need a good offseason. “When I went to the (locker room), you could see everybody in the arena was on their feet,” Akok recalled. “I could definitely see the love that they had for me. It’s a great fanbase. When you have a fanbase like that, that cares about someone...

I’ve never rooted so hard for a kid.

Coach Dan Hurley said last month that he anticipates Akok will be back for the start of the Big East season, which begins in early January. Doran is hopeful and optimistic that Akok will return sooner than that projected date, maybe as early as sometime in November. "We just had a 10-week...

Hurley expects Polley to return for the start of next season and Akok to be back some time during Big East play. David Borges on Twitter

Wondering when we can reasonably expect these two guys to be back. I'm assuming Polley will have a choice to make about whether to play next year and Akok will be a medical redshirt.

I will have Polley and Akok off the bench I will increase Whaleys minutes, and replace AG with Gaffney in the lineup.

Crispino said on radio that Akok prefers to watch the home games on TV. This is a super unusual move. Anyone have any more info on why he does this?

Article from the New Haven Register. Not sure what made Paul Doyle take this angle. “Research shows one of the things that helps an athlete recover better is to keep them as integrated into the team as possible,” said Shane Murphy, a psychology professor at Western Connecticut State...

Just a little confirmation about how we've changed since losing Akok Akok.. A lot has been said about how the team is "developing" and plays "prettier" in the last week. That's clearly true, because as much as we love the young man and belive in his future, Akok was giving us nothing...

Stay strong young man. Everybody is pulling for you to make a complete recovery.

Excellent job by Anthony. https://www.courant.com/sports/uconn-mens-basketball/hc-sp-uconn-men-memphis-column-20200217-wzbzhbih4jf4pp2wf7uvg2jafa-story.html#nt=oft-Double%20Chain~Flex%20Feature~homepage-main-chain~centerpiece~~1~yes-art~curated~curatedpage

Horrible what happened to Akok, and absolutely devastating for him and a huge blow to the team. That being said, it looks like Whaley is going to be taking most of, or all of, his minutes going forward. He looked great on defense (6 blocks!) and the boards today. While he’s been developing...
