Akok # 8 impact freshman in 2019 class

[TheChamps990411]

Its nice to read and when you think about the other very talented freshmen coming in you get that little itch of excitement in your belly. The thing that tempers my enthusiasm is sure it'd be great if Akok is as good as advertised and has a big season for us but if he does you know hes one and done.

 

[husky429]

Exactly. Plus we seemingly haven’t had a threat like this since DD.

Just imagine Akok getting hot and splashing from outside or him penetrating to the hole and finishing near the rim. If Sal can get him a little thicker it’ll tough for the other guy to stop.

I wouldn't expect him to be slashing barring a pretty big jump in skills. He can catch lobs and shoot 3s. Maybe handle a bit in transition.

Thanks. Chiep appreciates it.
He does sound a little like Chiep, doesn’t he? Or she?

So you think we had a poor recruiting class? How disrespectful to the coaches and players and a complete distortion from the reality of a top 20 type class.

Your sad cry for attention by trying to live vicariously through your perverted version of someone successful is a poster child for mental illness. God bless you as you struggle with these issues.

To educate you a little, this is how you recruit and built a winning program. The problem is this is really Danny’s first class and he needs the time to string together three or four classes and then you have a talent rich deep program like Coach Calhoun used to have. Big picture - Everything is proceeding according to plan.

Now get back on the turnip truck and move on to the next town.

If you go to the next player on the list in Scottie Lewis, my gosh what a talent. Don’t know much about him but guy looks like Andre Iguodala right now lol, jealous.

You would know all about sad cries for attention, wouldn’t you?

Wow, touched on a nerve, did we?

On the contrary, Chiep thinks this class is great. Will be outstanding if Hurley can top it of with a center. And Chiep fully respects Dan Hurleys ability to lead the program back to prominence.

No attention seeking here. Just someone who believes the program needs casual fans much more than delusional insider wannabes. That second paragraph says it well. Did you copy and paste it from someone else’s response to one of your posts?

And no kidding. Thanks for the “education” on how to build a program. Real good job of stating the obvious. But you do that so well, don’t you? As if the coaching staff would let a third person bathroom stalker in on their plan.

There’s a couple empty seats next to me on the turnip truck. How bout you and Bunkey joining me?

GO HUSKIES.

Where would Cliff fall on this list? Sure seems like we are still all over him and he is going to reclass......

I would love for this to happen. And no, Chiep isn’t predicting anything. I think the end result would be better than Kofi.
Regarding Precious, it would’ve been nice to chalk up a recruiting win but this program doesn’t need one and dones at this point.
Hurley really seems to have his stuff together. This is beginning to feel like the Calhoun build.

Not my burner, but he’s definitely making this site a much better place.

Meanwhile, Chief is having another one of the temper tantrums he throws every time someone dares question him. But it’s other people with broken brains?

Anyone else of the opinion that we see Akok at the 5 a bunch next year. I would much prefer him to only play that stretch 4 type spot but he’s so long that he can easily guard american conference 5s, our roster lends itself to more of a transition or 4/5 out offenses and he’s still raw; the 5 is easier to play than the stretch 4 spot where you may need to handle the ball. Especially if we don’t land Manuel for next year.

This'll be the best frontcourt we've had since the Nolan/Olander days fasho

Josh is the clear 5 but if he’s in foul trouble or needs a break Akok will definitely see minutes at the 5. Some of that depends on if Polley or Wilson show they can be successful playing the 4. I think there will be a lot of experimenting early on as opposed to last season where coach tried to be very consistent with his starters and rotations until the injuries happened.

If he is playing any kind of significant minutes at the 5 we haven't picked up Manuel and we are in big trouble. He has great length but is still barely over 200lbs.

The 5 on my 14u team weighs more than him.

A few minutes when we want to gey out and run, or vs less talented 5s and we'll be fine. Against any decent teams, that win't cut it.

Akok may be skilled but can his frail frame stay on the court especially going up against bulksters the way he surely will? He’s going to play guys that are way more muscular in the 4 slot. The rebounding doesn’t concern me as much as potential injury. It’s a war down there.

It's being worked on. That's why he's in the gym gaining strength.
