Akok has a message for Uconn Nation. TUNE IN TOMORROW.

[UconnU]

Dawson Garcia has been put on notice.

 

[kansashusky]

What a comeback. So excited for Akok. I truly believe with him back, our ceiling will continue to grow and grow.

 

[Palatine]

Nice to see him back on the bench. I don't expect him to log many minutes. It will take a while to knock the rust off.

 

[Husk04ies]

I AM SO EXCITED

 

[stevesancho]

Even a few minutes here and there will help out Whaley who can't seem to stay out of foul trouble early this year. Big comeback under way!

 

[UconnU]

What’s the over/under on amount of sleep Dawson Garcia will get?

 

[tcf15]

Praying for my heart every time Akok jumps.

 

[HuskyHawk]

So excited for him and the team. While I appreciated him before, seeing him from row 1 in Charleston last year left a lasting impression. His effort and energy level is just astonishing. First guy down the floor in both directions. Once his strength and skill level catch up, watch out.

Precisely. In games this year, namely Hartford, USC, and Creighton... there have been some lulls where the team just can’t get anything going. And at those moments is when Akok makes his biggest impact. He’ll get a huge block into a transition bucket, or a slam dunk off a rebound or even an alley oop. Such a huge player to keep the tides in our favor

 

[kansashusky]

Can't. stop. watching.

 

[Waterbury]

I think it's going to take a while for akok to get back in the starting lineup, but the thought of our starting 5 consisting of RC/JB/TM/AA/IW has my mouth watering. Those 5 can dominate the big east down the stretch.

 

[Kitaman]

Informal announcements are the best!

 

[Tampahusky]

He’s not our best player but our most important. Be nice to get some easy buckets from his blocks.

 

[Kenny11]

Can't. stop. watching.

This is so great to watch. A few months back he barely had the confidence to jump off Hurley's diving board.

 

[Umami Zen]

AA is in the House!!

 

[Edward Sargent]

Sure hope the loud laugher in that tweet isn't a super spreader! No mask or social distancing there.

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

Is that chief in the car?

I've been thinking about this lineup too, but I fear there isn't enough shooting. Maybe Akok will be the shooter he was hyped up as, or martin can surprise. We'll see.

I think Akok can fill that void, and also play the 5 and have polley as the 4 with IW on the bench.

 

[UCLJ0211]

Will allow our guards to press more and not worry about getting beat to the basket. The last line of defense is back!

 

[Son of Robert]

We just got better in so many ways, it's great having Akok back.

 

[husky429]

Anyone know what kind of minutes restriction we might be looking at?

 

[ucawn]

 

[Marat]

He knows Akok will play some tomorrow .... doesn't want to announce it officially .

 

[CL82]

The crowd will go wild... oh, wait...
