Akok Akok’s UConn men’s basketball career began early, will end early: ‘It’s about opportunity’

With no guarantees about playing time at UConn, Akok is looking for greener pastures in the transfer portal.

So Pitt, WVU and Georgetown so far.

Please no Pitt. What a dumpster fire. Huggy Bear is by far the best coach of the trio but I have no idea what their roster looks like. I am oddly intrigued by the GTown prospect, especially if Aminu returns. Aminu, Murray, Harris and Anglin provide nice punch in the backcourt, to go with Akok and Mutombo in the front court. Ewing seems like a liability, to be nice, but there are decent pieces. Ewing was my favorite player as a kid and Akok has been my favorite player since Bazz so I would love to see this pairing thrive.

I wish everyone who left the best, but I wish that a little more for Akok. To go from a potential NBA 3&D guy in his freshman year to a career altering injury is brutal from the mental aspect. I would find it very difficult to know that a freak injury could have cost me millions of dollars in future earnings. Hopefully he can rebound this year and maybe go make some money overseas
