Had a sizable impact on the game yesterday without even scoring a point.

He looks like he could play 40 minutes of basketball and then immediately run a 2.5 hour marathon. There is no need to ever take him out of the game.

His blocks are a thing of beauty:

Akok is my new favorite player and I loved how fired up he got when he got Polley going... that was very, very cool. Huge, huge fan!

I'd like to know how that sign was allowed in.

In chat someone wrote Akok Blook, which was kinda funny.

best part is they actually put it up on the screens TWO times. Cameraman must have been pretending not to know the innuendo

He’s a really good shot blocker but he would be even better if he used his left to block as well, right now he’s only using his right to block shots. He should be going up with the arm closest to the ball.

Was at the game, easily my favorite moment. Akok turning to the student section afterward was awesome.

Hoping these two continue to do great things for the program and bring this type of energy and swagger to the Big East next season.

His block that led to Polley's 3 pointer in transition was with his left hand. He came across the low block and used his left to make the play.

Clearly this needs to be a recurring post-game video post equivalent to chief's briefs.

The plan worked. He came in early and hit the weights. That’s a huge selling point for the program. Looks good.

He looks every bit as long as Florida's #12, Gorjok Gak, who's listed at 6'11". In fact his shoulders may be lower but fingertips higher. Good wingspan.

Camera man totally knew the innuendo and couldn't wait to get that thing on screen. They live for that.

Reason you get to see all the hot chicks at games.

It’s too bad we don’t have anyone who can throw a lob on this team because Akok and Wilson should be feasting on backdoor lobs. Both are athletic guys that aren’t drawing much defensive attention.

 

[Vancat]

Akokx2 is quite wonderful

Most recent measurements have Akok's wingy as 7'3

Gonna have some athletes and length next year. Javonte has a 7'5 wingspan.

Springs has some length too.

 

[husky429]

Springs has some length too.

Yags tweet fall 2018 said he has measured at 6'9.5 with a 7'1 wingspan if I remember correctly. I remember pm'ing you about the post, I think. Wouldn't be surprised if he grew close to 6'11 with a 7'2 wingspan considering he re-classed up.
