Forgive me if this was discussed in the other thread before it become unreadable and got frozen, but there was a lot of speculation about how Akok could come here during the semester break given that we have 13 scholarship players. I did not see the obvious answer discussed, so let me set it out.
It is very difficult for me to believe he's going to pay his own way, and many of the schemes that folks throw out for getting around the 13 schollie limit just don't work. It's not like anyone here is going to throw out an idea for a loophole that NCAA compliance hasn't thought of. No, the obvious answer is that one of the current 13 is ready to transfer out at the end of the semester, sit out a year and then play elsewhere starting in December of 19. I fully support the policy of not discussing the possibility of any particular player transferring out, so I won't, but it also doesn't take a rocket scientist to determine who we have that might want to not waste the second semester not being in the rotation.
