Akok Akok updates his recruitment - Five schools are making him a priority

With Dan Hurley just getting hired at UConn, he is and his coaching staff are trying to make a splash with their 2019 recruiting class.

“I just recently took a visit up to UConn and it was very good,” said Akok. “They have a thing with the 2019 class with them trying to build it up. I’m a good fit for them and their 2019 class.”

He would be a nice get. His comments are non-revealing but at least he is talking about UConn.

 

[Hey Adrien!]

Akok reminds me a lot of Villanueva with his length, ability to stretch the floor with his outside shot and his ability to protect the rim. It's been a long time since we've had a forward like that!

He would be a very good get. He looked great last weekend. Syracuse has made him a priority.

JD seems to be our primary push at the PF position (at least the position that 247sports assigns to players). Seeing as I've seen neither play, is JD the better choice over Akok?

Or should we be looking at Tyrese Samuel out west/north?

Marketing this upcoming class as an "event" is really smart. Takes advantage of a lot of psychological hooks. Gotta start the ball rolling to make it work, though.
