Akok Akok

[bendm]

being as keen on the nba as he is, it's highly doubtful that akok would join a program that plans to hold him out of games until next season.

even though he probably won't get drafted this year anyways, him redshirting this spring would all but guarantee that result.

why wouldn't he want to keep that window open, even if it's just a crack?

This is either going to end poorly (going to Pitt) or terribly (comes to UConn, never plays a minute for us but results in us with recruiting violations).

I just don’t see how this ends well.

Somebody brought this up in a previous Akok thread, does this in any way damage our relationship with Putnam?

I love optimistic people.

If we get Akok and Kofi I would hope UConn would schedule a game to be played at the University of South Carolina.

It would be priceless having these two guys on their court and watching the faces of their fans as they do their cheers.

I wouldn't worry too much about how one kid handled himself. We don't even know what he's doing yet, so I highly doubt, even if he comes to UConn, that this will damage the relationship.

What relationship?

 

[uconnever]

I think he's going to play.

He should, we need all the help we can get. Play and realize he needs at least two mores years at least after this

 

[HawkHusky]

He'll play.

 

[lange10]

He’s not a 4 year player anyways. If it doesn’t mess with chemistry, which I’m confident Hurley can handle, you play the kid.

 

[HHusky]

This will be a make up for the Hami deal.
Ahhhhh....Good Kooking

 

[Austin316]

Starting to look very promising.

Test results are almost in...
Waiting for Maury to say “UConn... you are the duckther.”

The recipe for success starts with Akok.

Samuel picked Seton Hall over Pitt who was a lock for them. Curious if this impacts Akok.

From the Pitt board:

Rumors that he wanted to commit to Pitt over the weekend and Pitt held him off. Hopefully that means good things coming.

Of course that's the rumor

Yeah I don’t take much stock in that quote but it is curious. Honestly, Akok to UConn just seems so complicated (although it can happen) if he ends up at Pitt I wouldn’t be surprised one bit. This all just seems so off

 

[HawkHusky]

I'd love to see Akok behind the UConn bench tonight.

 

[superjohn]

"AKOK AKOK IS BEHIND THE UCONN BENCH, AND AKOK AKOK IS A UCONN HUSKY!"

Him committing to Pitt a week after trying to sit on our bench mid-game would be the most UConn-recruiting-thing ever.

I remember hamidou behind our bench against auburn like it was yesterday

 

[UConnStats]

Imagine having zero 2019 commits in December from your new HC known as a recruiter, and then convincing yourself that you held off a 4 star kid from committing.

1. Their board is awful.

2. They have struck out on every recruit so far and, like us, are trying to change the narrative around their program so I don’t exactly see why you would “hold off” anyone from committing, let alone a top target.

 

[upstater]

If this doesn't happen, the Boneyard will not be the same when it comes to recruiting. Can't get Diallo'd. Getting Kasongo'ed is one thing, but Diallo'd is another.

 

[RipCity]

I honestly feel bad for Pitt. Their fans deserve better.

They beat St Louis, which was was somehow their best win since February 2017. They almost lost to North Texas before that. VT, Clemson, NC State, he’ll even BC and GT are improving in the ACC. Pitt could be better than Wake Forest maybe, but man they are buried alive in the ACC. It’s never been an easy school to recruit to either.

 

[goskis2018]

I won't feel bad for anyone else until we are in a P5

I don't. Them and Louisville took our spot
