Akok Akok’s next chapter begins at UConn, as a walk-on — for now

Chef was right all along about Danny's feelings on Kwintin Williams:

And even if Williams had left the program, the situation would likely still be the same. While it’s true a team can replace a player who willingly leaves a program with another scholarship player, Hurley called that “bush league” and said that’s not how he wants to run a program.
actually talk about a contradiction amirite

Nice detailed answers on Akok, etc. This article should be required reading so we don't get more questions about him playing 2nd semester.

So Akok is allowed to practice with the team, but not play in games this semester due to his status as a recruited walk on who is receiving financial aid of some sort? Just looking to clarify.

I gather that Kwintin Williams is still suspended indefinitely. I hope he at least sticks around to get his degree, for his own good as well as the APR for the team.

I have a funny feeling we may never see him play a game for UConn
There's no way with his build he should go pro either here or abroad. This guy should stay in college 2 years plus.

So if I read that article correctly, Akok chose to take out financial aid to go to UCONN and NOT go for free to Syracuse, Georgetown or Pitt!!! Hurley is a wizard and beating Boeheim never gets old. Beating Ewing and Capel makes it even sweeter.

That was the peak night in Boneyard history. I still have a picture of the golden dump I took right when A Dime Back reported Hurley agreed a contract.
I was sobering up after the 6 hours of speculation. Only to get drunk again.
