“I honestly think he can be a pro,” Espinosa said, “and I never say that. I didn’t even say that about Hamidou [Diallo]. There aren’t many guys you can say their two biggest strengths are blocking shots and hitting 3s. That’s an NBA skill set right there.”

Reminds me of a guy named Donyell. Can he dribble at his size?

Is he the third September commit that everyone keeps hinting at?!

If only. Yell was a once in a generation (for UCONN) type talent.

You realize I just meant that skill set right? Not Akok himself? There is no reason Akok can't be a generational talent too. I have no idea really.

I get it. I do the same thing. What I was saying is that Donyell had pretty much ALL the skills. He came in ready to go.

Akok, by most prognostications, is still raw. Which implies the skillset is undeveloped.

I guess he could turn into a generational talent, but that's not usually the case unless a guy comes in ready (Anthony Davis).

But yes, nobody really knows.

Quote from Akok:
While Akok is scheduled to take his five official visits in the fall, he's not looking to make his college choice in the near future.

"I plan on doing it in the spring," he said.
