Playing for West Virginia against George Mason in an exhibition! 7PM start.

This article lists he’s back for his extra year. Hope so, love rooting for him!

Akok had 10 points and 5 rebounds and was 1/2 in free throws. Nice to see you again Akok and good luck at Georgetown. Good luck with your future Akok

✂️ Akok best player on the court His confidence was off the charts! He needs to regain his confidence and Hurleys confidence to get back to this level. He was headed to being a superstar.

Just wondering if we are at full squad. Be good to have an extra big with experience for the Tourney.

I havent Watched as closely this year. But I’m baffled but the lack of mins for Akok, is he hurt? This team played six guys tonight I do not understand. We need Hawkins to be better. Early in the year i understand the struggles but now he needs to be further along. not taking a transfer...

Has there been any discussion from Coach Dan (or anywhere else) on Akok's limp that occurred as a result of that odd play during garbage time in last night's game?

Akok is shooting .522 (12-23) from the arc but only .357 (5-14) from the free throw line.

Did Hurley give any reason why he did not play Akok?

This team will not be elite until these two play to their potential on both sides of the ball. To date, they have been underwhelming and haven't played up to their preseason expectations. Hoping they begin to take form by late February leading into the tournament.

i figured this deserved its own thread -- easily one of the best uconn articles i have read this year. i didn't realize that lofton and osun went to putnam with akok. https://theathletic.com/3009630/2021/12/10/how-a-high-school-national-championship-shaped-uconns-akok-akoks-future-and-outlook/

Akok was awesome today. Couple special blocks, two much-needed three-pointers, and he held his own at center against a legit 5-man when Whaley was out with foul trouble. Happy to see this kid play some of his best basketball, figured he deserved his own thread.

Going into the season, I was probably most excited to see what Akok Akok could add to this team. He is a great kid, and I want to see him do well. I think 8 games is enough of a sample size to form an opinion, and I just don't see how he can transform into a different type of player than his...

He has length, blocking ability and shooting skills, and he's coming back from injury but... Of all our players he was not up to it physically for this tournament. For his position he doesn't have the strength on either end of the floor. When wide open he can make a 3 but he doesn't attack the...

Guy scored 3 points and absolutely impacted the game all over the floor. 7 boards 3 blocks 1 steal 1 assist a bazillion deflections.

"Coaches they all see it everyday, and they say that I'm the same player, that I'm back. And I think so too". Great to hear from Akok himself. Because he was in-and-out of the lineup last year at less than 100%, I think folks here are quick to forget how great this kid can be and the impact he...

...sharp both games. Martin is a better 3 than he is a 2 or 4. Can slash, rebound and will get good open looks where he is a decent shooter. Akok is the stretch four. A pair of 3's, a heckuva catch and dunk and just gets to be the energy guy. Sanogo is a beast. Would love to see this...

Does anyone else agree that Akok replacing Whaley as a starter would be the most optimal/best line-up for the team? Personally I could def see it happening by the end of the season. Akok honestly just offers more offensively and doesn’t seem like an extreme drop off from Whaley on the defensive end.

Friend and I have a wager over this. Curious what the casuals think. My vote is for Whaley, and I’m fairly confident.

...were there for this big game including the captivated now-commit Donovan Clingan and his dad. The love our extended team showed for young Akok Akok was not lost on any of them. What we had seen to that point of Akok was akin to the smooth young colt. Wonderfully agile but making missteps...

And his cover page model. https://collegehoopstoday.com/index.php/rothstein-files/20-under-the-radar-breakout-players-for-the-21-22-season/

...to like guys at the 5 who are more traditional in a sense, hence recruiting and getting Clingan and Sanogo. But who has a better year this year, Akok or Whaley? I think they both start at points and Akok has a higher ceiling but Whaley is coming off a DPOY appearance. BTW I'm not Colin Gillespie

Any updates on him? How's the Achilles? His minutes restriction going to be lifted? This guy is a huge facor in how well we do next season IMO. His defense as well as his ability to run the floor and finish behind the arc will be a major asset if hes gotten his explosion back.

We haven't seen much of Akok Akok because he got injured mid-season in his freshmen year. Then this year he only played a couple games for very limited minutes. Does anyone have any inside info on how good Akok is? With Bouknight leaving we need Akok to keep up with his defensive game and work a...

I didn't see him on the sideline. Surprised he didn't get at least a minute or two of run.
