Akok enters the portal

I sent this to a few people yesterday.. we are bleeding

This is a planned blood letting - i.e. roster management.

Maybe a bit dramatic. Akok wasn't the same after the injury. We will see where he goes and how he does but this doesn't hurt us. 4 transfers isn't a good look, and losing Floyd is a giant red flag, but the other three make sense.

 

[Chin Diesel]

This was the least surprising transfer to me out of all of them.

Hopefully this gives Johnson a clear path to minutes at the four spot next year.

Sad to see him go. Not surprised with the lack of PT this past year after finally getting healthy.

My favorite Husky the last few years. A true fan favorite who will sorely be missed. I wish him nothing but success and happiness wherever he lands!

I mean it's not like you had some secret report. This was expected and well-known it was coming this week.

 

[navery12]

Not too surprising here. Hopefully this is the last of the transfers, anything beyond this would start to change my expectations on next season

 

[Vancat]

Hopefully a blood transfusion is imminent

 

[Dogman69]

He’s going to look terrible in a PC uniform.

Akok was reportedly extremely close to the Hurley family. Very sad day for many in the program I believe

Does the bleeding stop now and do we receive a transfusion that's even better than the blood we had before?
Or are we on track to bleed out?

 

[storrsroars]

Selfishly, I hope all the exiting xfers land at Pitt so I can watch them with zero threat of that team being worth a damn.

Are we ready to get good news?

 

[CL82]

Richie Springs getting ready for some extended minutes?

He was born ready!

 

[awfuldan]

Unbelievably fun player to watch his freshman year. Devastating injury and disappointment on both sides this season I'm sure. Will be rooting for him at the next stop.

 

[husky99]

Is the bleeding over?

Not hearing so....

 

[JMick]

If anyone else leaves we know we have a problem. 3/4 make sense here

 

[NotADime89]

Still don't know why people are losing their minds. What is the avg points of the guys that are transferring. Aside from Floyd did we really expect any of the rest to have a huge impact this season? Our core guys are still there (Sanogo, Hawk, AJax) and we will be signing Newton very shortly.

 

[JMick]

Not hearing so....

Well then it's really bad

 

[CL82]

Are we ready to get good news?

Yes please.

 

[KingAG]

Not hearing so....

Good grief

 

[ThabeetDown]

As always, curious where he ends up. Great energy, great kid, has skill with his shot and shot blocking, but often times looked LOST on defense, not to mention the sad reality of not being able to stay healthy. A-10 level might be the move for him like Sool/Gaffney.

 

[elmcityboy]

this is similar to the gaffney thing for me -- not a huge shock, given how everything played out, but it makes me sad because i genuinely liked rooting for him. the first half of his first season was pretty magical. i hope he can get back to that somewhere new.

richie springs minutes incoming???

 

[tuvent08]

Not hearing so....

Dang, how many people are actually left? Andrew Hurley hitting the portal?

 

[CL82]

Not hearing so....

Dude! I like you so much better when you’re bringing good news!

 

[Austin316]

I miss freshman Akok. If he never got injured I can only imagine where he would be. I’ll miss him.

It seems like he’s looking towards Providence so I’m sure it will be a sight for sore eyes.

 

[Tenspro2002]

We've lost 4 guys, which sounds like a lot.

But none of them were a huge part of last year's team and we don't know what we would have gotten out of them going forward.

If Hurley wants a more versatile offense that can score in more ways and complement Sanogo, this is not a huge loss and other players may be better fits.

 

[Kmba2Rmemba]

Not hearing so....

Sheeeeeeeesh

Pterodactyl? Richie?

 

[KingAG]

Another transfer and this isn’t normal even in the transfer era. That’d be 5 transfers

 

[WhereistheDove?]

This one doesn't surprise me. I feel gutted for the guy, the injuries were just a killer to his development but his defense was genuinely unplayable this past season. I hope he can find a spot to get some more PT at a lower level.
