Akok Akok turns 19 today

[BFieldHusky]

He’s 34/35 in predicitions this year as well!

From the Cuse board:

jdubs30
I think he probably is just hearing the same stuff from Hurley

RF2044
Agreed -- I'll never understand why anybody puts stock in crystal ball assessments.

Maybe because the guy has been right 34 out of 35 times this year. And coaches don't feed these guys prediction info. Morons over there. Lol.

The schadenfreude after this is all over will (hopefully) be delicious.

Also, my blood pressure numbers will likely look a bit better.

Bossi is talking to coaches; Akok's prep and AAU coach.

Doomed pgh. Doomed.

I can't wait for the excuses/whining on the Cuse board when he ends up here. It'll be fantastic!

 

[StepbackCity]

Does anyone know a commitment timetable? Refrain from “20 mins” or something, jerks..

 

[Northbound]

Eric Bossi just forecasted (Rivals version of the crystal ball) Akok to UConn

EB is pretty good

Based on what has been said on the board, probably not much longer.

Considering the fact that posting too much info about Akok has lead to a reporter reading the board and then calling the recruit to ask if he already committed, I don't think we're going to get anything more definitive than that from our insiders.

We’ve already gotten plenty of hints. At this point we should be confidently patient.

Why would Akok or anyone want to play for a guy who does this to his former recruits/players

Not a LeBron fan at all, but I'm with him here full stop. Anybody who pisses on Boeheim's shiny dome is all right in my book. Pun intended.

Why would anybody? I really don't get it. The game has passed Boeheim by.

 

[Nebraskan18]

The absolute worst thing a coach can do in the eyes of recruits is fued with Lebron

Hopefully at Putnam's midnight madness. I hear festivities start around 1:35 or so today.

Mustang* Madness is 1:35 on Saturday.

First I've ever heard about high schools doing midnight madness. Is that a thing now?

 

[UConnStats]

Boeheim is making McNamara’s job harder every time he complains.

Especially on a Wednesday night.

It’s on Saturday

Wonder if Jimmy's getting a little bit senile? Honest question.

I'm just messing with the guy. But they do have midnight madness on Saturday, like stats said.

It's more of just an after school pep-rally that community members can come to at high schools. Still a fun time though.

 

[HawkHusky]

Definitely.

He’s just frustrated. He’s old and he can’t relate to any of these kids he’s recruiting anymore. The best one he’s gotten in years dips for the G League and he gets asked about it constantly.

He’s actually coached really well in the tournament in recent years, but it’s borderline impossible for him to fight the idea that he’s riding into the sunset over the next few years and that hurts recruiting, especially without Hopkins there as a well respected coach in waiting.
