Kid has gotta be 30 by now. What a wild ride.

Best of luck. Always seemed like a great teammate.

 

[JonnyRI]

My daughters favorite player of all time (she met him on crutches right after he got hurt). She’s only 7 so still doesn’t get the transfer thing ……

 

[AdamaNation]

Fort got he went to WV. Can’t catch a break with a coach either.

 

[HuskyHoosier]

Scary situation - akok just collapsed mid game - he seems to be conscious and getting medical attention.

No GMU on my TV. Can you at least write where you live, or give a network?

Keep us posted on what they are saying

 

[husky429]

Akok does everything the right way and just can't catch a break. You hate to hear it. I hope he's alright.

 

[husky429]

Per the WVU basketball twitter page he is at the hospital now. No new updates.

 

[Salty Dog]

Wow. Awful.

 

[Phoenixhusky]

Poor kid, always a Husky.

he really is one of the good natured guys. I hate seeing him go through setback after setback.

Prayers up to a past Husky we all love.

"I just got briefed with our medical staff," West Virginia interim coach Josh Eilert said on his radio show after the game. "He's stable. He's talking. He's in a good place. He wanted to wish the guys well and congratulate them. He's in a good place. But they're going to monitor him overnight and do a lot of testing overnight to figure out what's going on. That's all I've got."

Prayers go out to Akok.

Time and place, my man. This ain't the one.

 

[auror]

That last line about "I'm glad he's still here with us." yikes.

 

[superjohn]

They still have him in a Connecticut jersey in the ESPN article. I didn't see what happened to him but he'll always be a UConn kid. Nice guy and Hurley's first big time recruit, I'll always root for him as a player and person. Let's hope he's okay going forward...

I have bad memories of people collapsing on a basketball court. We all do. Those memories are immediately triggered when I see or just read about such an event. I hope Akok is OK. If I were medical staff I'd be super paranoid about clearing him to play again. Terrified maybe.
