Akok Akok (PF) In Play

Yeah recruiting reporting has become pretty transparent/formulaic. Which ever school the recruit visited last “has the momentum” gets the “crystal ball picks” etc.

But no one knows anything and/or a small number of people know very little.

Just one more reason I want Gaffney, the package deal with his dad. Maybe he can become a cheerleader of the caliber of Bazz & Boat's moms.

We have much better luck with moms than with dads.

Indeed. But its a new age. The outflow from the burst dam will clean the slate as far as dads are concerned.

Akok Akok would be a wonderful get. No doubt. I would also like to return to getting players topping out over 6'-9".

Our favorite dad is liking what he’s seeing at least View attachment 34509

Not sure there is much that can be drawn from that other than he saw a post that mentioned his son.

Thing is though...his son isn't mentioned in that post. Dad's got a UConn Twitter search column in Tweetdeck.

No ... Dad follows @UConnStats so the tweets show up in his feed. He likes UConn, whether that means we get his son, time will tell.

I think we're going to have even more fun in a few days.

Expect AkAk to cut his list within the next week and to set a few official visits for the month of October. Would hope to get him on campus for an OV during First Night on the 12th. Definitely expect his commitment to come before the Early Signing Period.

He's been liking/retweeting a bunch of other UCONN related stuff at least.

Draw away!

It's from about a month ago so it's kind of old news. Basically says Florida wants to start getting involved, but as of today, there haven't been any reports about their coaching staff visiting Akok.

Hope you're right. The last place we need to lose recruits is to Florida. What's next, Georgia? Oklahoma?

Florida is an excellent program with lots of upside.

I hate to think having fun is a consideration for guys of this calibar. Preparing for the NBA should be the number one objective. You can have tons of fun in a few years when you are a multi millionare.

Theoretically sure. In reality, these are 18 year old college kids. Fun (and girls) is most definitely a priority.

Not for nothing, but most Pros will say, enjoy college while you can boys, cause it just ain't the same irl, even playing in the NBA.

It’s a lot easier now with tinder.

The ESPN article a few years ago that said tinder was improving NBA player performance (cause they weren’t at the club til 3am) was absolutely amazing.
