@UConnStats if(when?) he commits we can pretty much count ourselves out of the Achiuwa sweepstakes correct?

Why?

Nah I think Akok-Precious-Kofi can all co-exist. Precious at the 3, Akok at the 4.

I think it’s a possibility UConn whiffs on all those players, not at the fault of Hurley. But that front court would be amazing

they are also offered in January

Where? Not according to the SAT web site.

Test Dates and Deadlines

Edit: Just saw a few people already posted this. But keeping it so GHSWolverines can see that's not correct.

 

[HooperScooper]

Semester begins Jan 22nd. So he'd have to get the results and be enrolled before then. No idea if that's possible with the Jan test.

There is no January test. There used to be but they changed the testing dates this year. December 1 and then March 9.

No they want both. They’ll keep pursuing Achiuwa.

Achiuwa should be afraid of absolutely no one on a roster.

They actually have very complimentary skill sets.

Someone mentioned earlier that Yakwe is a genius and he could get an academic scholarship. No clue if he is or if that’s possible. Thoughts?

Can't do that. Not permissible by NCAA rules. Think about if that was possible how much of a mess it would cause with teams trying to exploit that loophole.

Guys, this isn't about a shtick, it's about keeping the casual fan in the loop.

There's no "i" in "Chief".

The earnest likes you are receiving for offering this up are supplying me with great humorosity.

when I initially heard the news I just assumed he was going to turn pro. But now it appears he could be enrolling next semester. I don't know if see Hurley adding a midseason guy like this for this year. Im thinking he's going the dialllo route and will just practice the second half of this year.

 

[Walker11]

You are assuming that I made that up. Read the morning news. That is how it played out. If the coach’s own starements to the press constitute my “gut feeling”, then so be it. Ill wait till you google a news article and then....your anticipated humble Apology is gracuously accepted.

Did you mean bag move or bad move?

I like the move for Akok. He’ll be able to practice with the team and most importantly participate in team workouts. Any extra time he can get with Coach Sal will do wonders for his strength and conditioning.

this is the best case scenario IMO. diablo proved it can help you get ready for the nba

 

[FriarJ]

Out of his list of 5 schools, Pitt is the only one not using 13 scholarships. They have 1 available.

Not that it matters honestly but PC has an open ship and will probably have another one at semester end. MAL did not get off the bench yesterday against Iona.

Why didn’t akok enroll at college this fall at his age?

 

[HawkHusky]

Why didn’t akok enroll at college this fall at his age?

That's what I'd like to know, particularly if getting to the NBA ASAP was his priority.

Yes, but if he declares for the draft to test the waters in the spring which is almost a guarantee, people here will lose their minds lol

 

[husky429]

Prep years are very common. He needed the development (and still does) desperately.

 

[GHSWolverines]

possibly bc he does not qualify. he is taking the sat's December 1

 

[jleves]

Folks - I just had to delete a post about freeing up a scholarship.

You can say, 'Maybe a scholarship will free up....'

You CANNOT say 'We don't need player X. Just get rid of him.'
