Akok Akok top five and OVs

[UConNick]

Yup, I mixed them up.

Isn't it annoying when you've got so many titles you mix them up in discussion?

 

[Guapo]

Sooo....back to Akok?

Lol! Wrong thread dude

 

[JB75]

The reason Melo was called a “rental” was because he cudda easily went to nba out of high school, came in as a freshman “one and done” and was clearly just there for one year in leading his team to title. How are bazz kemba rip and meka “rentals”? Three of them stayed 3 years, overachieved thier high school ranking in thier college career and bazz stayed a full 4 years. Not comparAble.

To this day that 96 Kentucky squad was the most loaded I’ve ever seen. Derek Anderson , Mercer, McCarty, Shepherd , Delk etc.... and , oh yeah Antoine walker. U kidding ???

Ejim had 7 points that game on 3-13 shooting

The other guy then... Dustin something? Some undersized big men scored 30+ that game.

Thats part of Danny’s MO, visit the recruit in the field just before the OV. Even Chief doesn’t know the full strategy behind this - other than “It works”.

Pretty sure that's Kofi, #21 in white, and Akok blocks his shot at the 12 second mark

 

[Chief00]

Akok would be a great get. Of course, Chief’s first post commitment talk with the dude would be about starting fast breaks with block shots rather than blocking shots out of bounds. Block shots out of bounds are great for the highlight reels and the First Night fans but not efficient basketball.

 

[Scrutineer]

Akok is the man. Sure hope he sees the future Hurley is leading UConn to and decides to join the team.

Don't forget to add that he needs to share the ball more often as well ... his swishing 3's and dunking all over the place is just so selfish

Fair.

We lose that game with a whimper if Niang's on the floor tbh. He was a better version of the St. Joe's kid who killed us until he fouled out.

But also: That was the basketball gods paying back our injury karma for Rickey in 1996. If he stays healthy we win it that year – or at the very least play one of the most epic Final Four games ever against UK.

And perhaps in 09 with Dyson! We would of at least gotten to the finals!!!

Should’ve anyway. The bigs have no excuse for getting thrown around by a couple of guys with no future, Includign a guy who was playing so badly for over a month that he was getting NATIONAL attention for his slump.

Real difficult environment. It was basically 60k fans rooting against UConn. They hung in there without playing well and Thabeet being a non factor

A lack of outside shooting was a problem as well and A.J. Price finally had an off shooting night.

Austria was simply outclassed. He had no business being on the floor in a final four. But it was the way they went down that was problematic. They should’ve absolutely controlled the interior, and the boards.

I wasn't sticking around for the 2nd game so I sold my stub and got out of there. As it turned out, we exited to the middle of a road lined with saw horses with tons of people behind. Apparently the sole reason for all those people being there was to tell me how much me and my team sucked. The cops said keep walking.

Yeah - they were real f@#ks
I bought a Wayne Ellington t-shirt asap and became a huge obnoxious UNC fan for,the finals . . . Very satisfying
