Akok Akok official visit

[tzznandrew]

Personally, I don’t think the insiders lied, they likely just got bad info. It didn’t seem likely he wouldn’t at least make it to Syracuse, but that also doesn’t mean we aren’t the leader moving forward.

Also, it may not be bad info. It's too soon to tell.

I just went through the craziest emotional rollercoaster while reading this thread. Sheeesh. Matrim and BField haven't been wrong for a while. I trust their intel. Reminds me of the Sterling Gibbs situation. Where he denied committing to commit on his own terms. Lets hope this is the case

I remembered there being a similar incident but I couldn't recall the player -- it was Gibbs, so thanks!

People shouldn't have used the word "verbaled." Puts the kid in a bad situation.

It seems everyone forgot the golden rule of taking salty fluid in 20 minutes.

 

[Mano]

Or something like that. I forget.

Well it was a fun hour or so. Let's see what happens

No, doing their job would be asking their sources in the program what the status is and, if they heard nothing new, they could keep their pie holes shut until the do hear something new. Running around to verify internet rumors is lame.

You do not understand their job.

 

[Fishy]

Next Sunday in Syracuse it's supposed to rain with a high of 42. It's going to be miserable.

That will be the best Sunday in Syracuse until June.

 

[Austin316]

Take that Cuse!

It ain't 1995 any more.

Oh no. Oh no. Ur saying Next?

He's just talking about the weather.

Any clarity here? Are we still good? I cant imagine JJ and DB snooping around asking all kinds of questions has helped...

See Post #216.

 

[KembaStepback]

See Post #216.

Yeah...that still doesn't help me.

(No offense to Matrim, of course)

 

[WhereistheDove?]

Yeah...that still doesn't help me.

(No offense to Matrim, of course)

What exactly are you looking for in that case? He hasn’t officially announced if that is your question.

 

[EdgewoodNHV]

Yeah...that still doesn't help me.

(No offense to Matrim, of course)

If you need something more solid, you really shouldn't follow recruiting this closely. Just wait for official announcements and be happy. But if your complaint is, "well gosh, these rumors are just not entirely clear to me," then you are in the wrong thread.

Just read the latest gem from the Cuse board - He's not coming here b/c he didn't get along with Wahab and had a change of heart. Even if this were true, and Hurley valued him over Wahab, wouldn't they say no problem, b/c Wahab isn't coming here??

Three to go for the UConn Fab 5:

PG - Jalen Gaffney
SG - James Bouknight
SF - Precious Achiuwa
PF - Akok Akok
C - Kofi Cockburn

Need it.

It’s not our insiders, it’s the reporters reading the yard and then putting the kid on the spot. That makes everything complicated and makes everyone worry

 

[Lthusker456]

Any new insight on Akok? Reading the cuse forums it seems like their gaining a lot of traction for Isaiah Stewart who I think would want to play the 4. He was just there for an OV too and his buddy girard and buddy are on the team now.

 

[Com'rGordon]

Can somebody with some insider info please make me feel better and say we are still in really good shape.

 

[RipCity]

Good god this thread needs to be locked

 

[UofCT]

In my opinion, and this is my being extremely pessimistic, if he steps foot on Cuse campus we are finished.

 

[Matrim55]

Just chill.

 

[Rico444]

Either way, you'll know in a day or two. If he goes on his Syracuse visit, he didn't commit. If he cancels it, expect a public commitment shortly after.

Patience, Kemosabe, patience.
