Akok Akok update

[Hamms30]

Obviously. But if Akok and his teammates just like going to local games, why UConn over Providence?

Dairy Bar, duh..

 

[MuchoDogYears]

I think it’s big for us he was sitting behind the bench last night.

I’d like to believe that but then I think back to how many times Hamidou was spotted behind the bench, or hanging out on campus, and everyone knows how that went down.

 

[SoFla Steve]

This recruitment has taken an emotional toll on me.

It is killing me, too! Just 5 days to the early signing period.

 

[uconn34]

If he comes, he comes. If he doesn't UConn bb will still continue and get better. Frankly, he stands to lose more than us. JMHO

 

[navery12]

Doesn't make a lot of sense he hasn't committed already & now he's throwing out he could wait until the spring.

Either he's just being coy (since many here say it's a done deal) or maybe he has indications of another offer.

If he's a "done deal" what does he (or UConn) gain by dragging it out any longer?

Outside of making us happy there's no reason for him to rush a commitment anywhere. Kids just like to feel wanted

 

[GemParty]

Maybe the banner students unfurled could have been a massive LOI with Akok’s name on top.

Maybe he’s just trolling us BYers.

Akok choosing between us and Pitt is a little like Cam Reddish choosing between KO and Duke. It may be a final two, but it's hard to believe it's a close decision.

 

[CL82]

Maybe he’s just trolling us BYers.

I just think he understands how important the decision is and wants to be sure. That's fine. Hopefully he'll sign during the early signing period.

 

[strivefor5]

wish there would have been a video on the big screen last night of all the highlight plays we have had against Pitt, like kemba's shot and taliek's shot & then akok could have seen it

 

[Chief00]

Was the good news we’re expecting the win yesterday?

No, there will be good news. Not commenting beyond that, entering sensitive stage. Chief will always do what’s best for the program rather than get quick accolades that sabotage recruiting efforts.

Kansas Overland College?

What we know:
1. Akok likes to attend UConn games.
2. The only way it will be feasible for him to attend UConn games next year is if he commits to us.

 

[CbbisGreat]

Makes me nervous also. I just hope his presence at the game last night is a positive sign

 

[HawkHusky]

What we know:

But it would be feasible for him to attend UConn game(s) next year if he commits to one of our opponents...

Doomed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[HawkHusky]

I'm about convinced @Matrim55 's winky face is simply an eye disorder.

Add Khalid's shot.

Evan reading the BY.

"the word on the BY............I mean street"

 

[Ewekon]

I think that last but about making a run for a National Championship speaks volumes about the respect he has for Hurley and the UConn brand. Hope we can gain the commitment in the early signing period. Puts a lot of pressure on Hurley & Co. if we walk away this fall with just Bouknight and Gaffney with such need in the front court.

I think those 2 are fine commits. But just those 2 is a duh and not a damn dam.

 

[Kemba429]

how many scholarships does Pitt have? Wahab still out there.

 

[Chief00]

Heading to bed now - quite the basketball night.

When the good new comes and your damn breaks in its entirety, I would like to purchase a couple of CHIEFS bricks, from the top row that comes crashing down. Since the university doesn't sell bricks, maybe just maybe CHIEF will at a fair price and of course all proceeds going toward a CHIEF selected charity. I DO HAVE A LOT OF CONFIDENCE IN CHIEF. Of course maybe your damn is not built of bricks. Maybe its concrete block or stone, but I will still purchase.

Actually your could have bought pieces of Memorial Stadium.

That wink for one recruit, or two?
