I’ve never rooted so hard for a kid.

woulda been an incredible shame if akok, bouk, and aj never suited up together. keep up the good work!

He is going to come back a MONSTER. Team will rally around their brother

I am so rooting for this kid! Wish him a healthy speedy recovery

Remember how dominant he was defensively early in the season? Teams were afraid to put up anything near the basket.

He just a great teammate and person.

 

[JB75]

Can’t wait. Gonna be scary once we get him bouk and AJ on court together

Walking home?? He didn't look like he was walking on water to me.

Still great news though.

The first 5 minutes of the Indiana game he was the best player on the floor. Wasn't close.

He seems like such an exceptional young man. I can't imagine that it's easy, even with the perks afforded to athletes, to be secluded on campus right now and be going through a very tough rehab.

Let's go kid! We are all with you Akok.

He could be the best rim defender UConn has ever suited up - his reactions are so quick
He needs a ton of work on his offense, especially his handle and using both hands. As I indicated in another posting, the kid lights it up from the perimeter in practice but seems to get the "yips" during game situations. Hopefully he can snap out of that.
He is a quiet sort but once he gets talking he is very poised and insightful
Please come back strong but only when you are ready

What is that supposed to mean?

Terrific news Akok! Way to go!

Really gonna be tough to beat Thabeet in that department. He's one of the best in the history of the NCAA. Two time national DPOY. The respective players just go about it differently.

 

[HuskyHawk]

Hoping he comes back 100%, plus a little stronger. Really want to see him have huge success in his career and life. Seems like such a great kid and plays with incredible energy.

Not to mention Mek. Lets be reasonable.

Thats his only IG post? It’s settled. Tom Moore is Makers Muppet.

I know! Glad I am not the only one, what in the world?

No one else noticed how that didn't make any sense?

 

[HungryHuskies]

Where the docs at?

Based on this post, is he ahead of schedule, behind schedule, or is his recovery timeline where it should be?

He's originally from Sudan. Said it felt good to be able to 'walk home'.

My sense of humor has always been somewhat quirky.

Akok isn't or Peter, got it
Come back strong Akok !!!

He is both.

That's one way to put it.
