Akok Akok withdraws from Putnam Science Academy

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

Nevermind scholarships. That stuff can get worked out. How many kids can you have on a roster?

You just never know how good young kids will be in weird situations like this. Diallo was so hyped up yet very underwhelming at UK, even if the bonus semester before playing for real. Plus Akok is a big, they're usually slower to adjust to the college game. Akok probably isn't in college shape, would have to learn our offensive and defensive system, and build some chemistry. It'd be a long shot for Akok to have that kind of impact for us this year. Not to mention there's been enough buzz the last week (from his HS coach and after New Haven) that he needs to get stronger and might struggle to transition to college (meaning next season).

For sure. But the upside is there. Diallo had no real skill at all. Akok can come in and block shots and hit a trailing 3 no problem. I don't think our offensive sets are exactly complex.

He could just pay his own way for a semester.

TEMI AIYEGBUSI had a thread about him today. So thank you for your service DANIEL BROCKE.

Haven’t had a good feeling for awhile. Until they commit and then sign I’m never sold. Hopefully he commits to UConn

If he came do you even think he would play this year? I think redshirting this semester to build strength and work on his game would be more beneficial

Then why leave PSA early? He wants to get to the league and playing is the best way

Quote I posted was talking about roster limits and specifically said nevermind scholarships.

What's the point in redshirting if he's not gonna play 4 years anyway?

Pretty sure you can have as many guys as you want but can only dress 15 players

SLATER DON’T PLAY WITH MY FEELINGS

That’s NBA, you need every player besides walk-ons on scholarship.

"Since I have already graduated high school, it makes sense at this point that I study at home for the SAT, which I am taking for the first time on December 1st," Akok said.

"I would like to thank Putnam Science Academy’s teachers, coaches, students and especially my teammates for all they have done for me," he added. "I will be focusing on the SAT in the immediate future and will then address basketball to determine what college is the best fit for me."

The SAT will add another twist in this drama of dramas.

They made it work with Drummond last minute.....I’m sure if they had to they’d find a way. Here’s to hoping.

That's what I meant. He would have to walk on. The poster was asking if there was a limit to how many guys you have on the roster.

Hope he’s not going to Pitt

Hope he’s not going to Pitt

Hopefully not his two top schools of interest was UConn and Syracuse. Pitt would be a surprise

It's been UConn/Pitt the last few weeks.

I have a feeling he will come to UConn. Just have that feeling UConn cake goes a long ways
