Unfortunately, there were character / accepting coaching issues with AA all the way back to Putnam Science Academy. He was a huge fan favorite and I loved him, will always remember that million dollar smile after his run against Xavier last year.

Today I learned that it was actually Akok Akok not playing 25 minutes per game that allowed Teddy Allen to score 38 points against us.

Wherever Akok goes he’ll average like 12/7/2. Guy is a good player.

I was clamoring for him to get minutes all year but I’d say this absolute best case scenario for him production wise.

I’d guess more along the lines of 9/6/2 if he gets big minutes. He’s sort of a one trick pony on offense.

Nope not unless it’s MAAC or less. Only other way is if all his potential arrives back because the guy that we had the last 2 years can’t bring those numbers.

For his sake hope the 2 years away from the injury do bring back what we saw a few years ago, by no means will I do anything but root for him.
 
For his sake, I hope it’s anywhere but Pitt. That place is absolutely toxic right now and, while I’m sure there are minutes available, I would hate to see him finish his career in a place like that (not that Georgetown is much better).
 
People should realize that the big loss out of all the transfers is actually Akok not any of the guards.

He's better than what happened this year, and the return of Dagger Trey Ty and Whaley put him in a bad position for minutes.

Akok would have been a solid and useful player for the upcoming year. Akok could easily have been the starting 4 man next to Sanogo for the upcoming year. However, Hurley's use of him and comments regarding him showed that he had no confidence in Akok.

No way Samson and Karaban are better immediate options than Akok would have been.

If Akok was a better option than Polley or Whaley he would have gotten more minutes than them. It’s not like he didn’t get the opportunity either. He was starting conference games while Sanogo was injured, and he still couldn’t prove that he earned more minutes once Sanogo came back

If this is true that Akok would be better for us come March than Samson or Karaban (or Jackson) than Hurley really messed up.

IMO Samson or Karaban will be much better by March.

Akok had a 2-3 week stretch during his summer AAU circuit that rocketed him up recruiting rankings. Beyond that, he started because we had no talent Hurley’s first year in the front court. His ranking was based on those 3 years and the premise that this incredible athlete can learn to dribble drive and create offense for himself or others to complement his shot blocking and set 3 point shooting. People hoped for a Paskal Siakam like development.

Due to injury and lack of development he has not.

Hurley: I watch these guys play every day and get paid millions of dollars to do this coaching thing and I don't think player X should play
Casual BYer: your (sic) dumb, I saw him play 5 min of garbage time and clearly know more than you
Literally no one
Huskymagic: also, NJ guards suck
