Akok Commits to UConn!!!

[auror]

Can he practice right away or does he have to wait to the end of the first semester?

Wait until end of 1st. But can begin practicing before 2nd starts.

 

[UconnU]

Can he practice right away or does he have to wait to the end of the first semester?

I think he can walk on right after he enrolls. So probably in a few weeks after his SATs come back.

 

[HawkHusky]

OMG @huskyniner ... if only I could give infinite likes...

he has to wait until this semester finishes because he technically is not a student until that happens

 

[UCDaveD]

Look at these idiots bahahahahaahahahah

Class of 2019 - PF Akok Akok (CT) Offered

 

[Jaker]

need some clarity, will he be eligible to play this spring when me make our tourney run??

 

[JMick]

I am actually extremely happy he decided to red shirt. I’m sure some people want him to play immediately but Sal Alosi can put some muscle on him and he can develop for next year. Best not to risk him leaving for the NBA if he had a big half year for us. This is great

it's literally the best case scenario, especially if he sees himself as a 1 & done. He has a longgg time to get stronger and learn Hurley's system. Much better than another season of HS basketball.

Welcome to the Dog Pound, Akok!!!

he could actually never play a game for us and go into the draft this spring, right??

Yeah. But he said he's not doing that.

 

[UConnDan97]

Took a quick look over there. The whining and justification stage has begun.

There are five stages of Syracuse grief. Let me know when they get to the "nose-picking" stage...

 

[Jaker]

i always love the recruiting banter after one program loses and another wins. The whining is always mutual both ways no matter the program. lol

 

[intlzncster]

Just got cut from the b-ball team today. I would get cut 50 more times idc, this is what we deserve baby!

Had to make a spot for Akok, no?

Just let out a pretty loud “YESSSSS!!!!” while shopping. Several strange looks from the Trader Joe’s patrons as well as my wife.

That s the first stage!

 

[Mokum]

I’m cracking up looking at the spit and Syracuse tweets. Going to check out their boards.Once again Uconn has the nations best coach! Kofi next!

 

[Palatine]

Hurley has certainly been impressive on the recruiting trail. He is proving to be a terrific closer.

 

[2Infinity]

We have no idea what his SATs are. I'm just glad to have him aboard for 2019-2020.

In my experience, any kid as quiet, thoughtful and reflective as Akok seems to be....is usually a pretty bright kid! I'd be surprised if there's any issue with his SAT. Welcome aboard AA!

 

[UConnDan97]

That s the first stage!

Then their head coach hasn't gotten past the first one in 50 years.

He hasn't gotten past the first title either...

 

[UChusky916]

Imagine how insane it would be if Hurley nabbed Kofi and Precious with our last two 2019 scholarships in addition to Akok and our guards?!

Can't believe that's an actual possibility. In Hurley we trust.

 

[uconnphil2016]

@Chief00 predicted this.

 

[Scrutiner]

Hurley must have been a marketing major.
