Confident about Akok

[GetTheFacts]

Not sure about the five-star rating but I will take it.

I can't wait for us to land even one impact prospect

Such bad mojo...

I would make this my avatar except that Sellers giving Emmert a beat down is just too good to change, at least while we have a NCAA investigation pending.
(Thanks again @Biff)

I'll take it over the "I stand by my prediction" no prediction posts. Hurley seems to be a best-case hire. I'm cautiously optimistic that our recruiting luck will change. But until it happens we are still DOOMED.

YoungFree’s post is misleading. 247 did not release new rankings today, these rankings have been constant for a few months now. The only one that has recently moved is Akok’s, but that was an individual change, not a whole class re-rank.

They are due for a rankings update fairly soon though.

Think they keep precious at 4? Seems like they have him higher than others do

I could see them moving it around a bit but nothing too significant. Whitney will probably move up even further, maybe into the top 10. Green should move up as well.

Didn't say what was updated...just saying it was a 247 sports update....kind of like a Fox News Alert.

The grind will payoff when the dam breaks in September.

Thanks for the dam information

Just praying there's no bumps with the grind.

 

[mauconnfan]

I would say this guy Grenham is a Cuse graduate if I thought there was one smart enough to pull off something like this in order to give the Orange an edge.

But then I thought again, no can’t be.

Whenever you write this all I can think of is Brain Damage. The lunatic is on the yard.

And if the dam breaks open many years too soon....

Really? You are in a strange World. God Bless, I hope you get the help that you need.

For what it’s worth, Jalen Gaffney’s dad “liked” this tweet on Twitter. In unrelated news, I have no life.

The person with the problem is usually the last to know. At least you did not respond in 3rd person. And yes, the yard is a strange world.

The last time Chief got my hopes this high up, the only result was Steven Enoch. When I asked, "That's it? Steve Enoch?", Chief told me I was spoiled.

Hah. I too have suffered bouts of Post-Chief-Syndrome (PCS). Mine stemmed from “faith” in certain assurances during the Nate Miles fiasco. By the time the Andre Drummond incident rolled around I had steeled myself against lending any credence to the grand master casual fan himself.

It is time those of us who have been afflicted shed our guilt and purge our shame. Bringing the dangers of PCS to light can protect future generations of Husky fans from contagion.

That said, if we even garner a single commitment in September from this elite group it will exceed Steven Enoch. But let’s hope the whims of luck and coincidence favor Chief this time around. It would be a win for all.

Let’s see how he does at Ville. He did not exactly have good Bigs coaching at UConn nor the system under KO/GM.

The only legal charge against Nate was violation of a restraining order and that was due to a phone call he made because he did not understand it. He tried calling Beau first but he was on a treadmill - something he told me he will always feel bad about.

The NCAA charge was a UConn booster paid for his knee surgery - prophetic that’s how the NCAA values the health of a student athlete.

The “Drummond incident” - are you referring when I correctly predicted he would enroll @ UConn in Sept 2011, when no one else did?
Or the social plans Kentan put together that fell though? Big deal - LOL - that happens with NBA players all the time.

Booster/wannabe agent. He totally screwed us trying to advance his own interests.

True, Josh screwed things up - he was over his head and living off Rip.
Nate was basically a nice, nearly homeless kid who had a bunch of bad stuff happen to him that he did not understand.

I will always remember during Jim’s 2011 NC run some news organization tried to get Nate to rat out Calhoun and failed. I will remember him for that. I have his back. I wish more UConn fans would return that loyalty to him.
