Corey Evans on Bouknight & Akok

[AntG168]

What's interesting is i believe all of these guys are aware of each others interest in UConn. I believe Hurley is selling this super class that puts UConn back on the map as much as he's selling our history.

I like

...Akok.

Finished that for you.

Even if we just get 3 of those 5 I'll be incredibly happy

If we 'only' get 2, I'll be over the moon. 3 is a monster. 4+ is legendary.

I think it depends on which 2 lol but any combination of the three would be a tremendous class

We're basically a coin flip away from landing:

Achiuwa
Kofi
Akok
Bouknight
Gaffney

Coin flip odds say we land 2.5, which rounds up to 3.

Precious and Bouknight would make me do back flips.

Precious, Bouknight and Kofi might make me buy season tickets and I don't even live in CT!

Oh God why do I follow recruiting. The idea of Bouknight, Gaffney, Kofi, Achiuwa and Ak* committing isn't realistic at all yet I keep telling myself it can happen

I came here for recruiting info, but the more I read, the more my stomach churns. When will the dam break?

A number of these guys might wait til spring to commit, so you may want to pop an alka seltzer and loosen your belt a bit. pro tip.

I guess I thought Akok and Precious would be vying for the same minutes but now that I've looked a bit more - it seems like Precious is being recruited at the 3 and Akok at 4.

Is that the assumption that others have been under too?

Both guys are hard to project because Akok is wiry and has a very slashy game for someone 6-10 and on the other side Precious is super physical for a wing. They'd create a very versatile pair if on the same team. Could really create a ton of mismatches.

We could stick Precious, Akok and Kofi all on the floor at the same time and let them sort it out. Who cares about anything else. I'll go with that lineup 4hunnid out of 4hunnid.

The dam will break when Chief says the dam will break, damn it!

Could this really happen? That would be some incredible recruiting by the coaching staff to get these two players in UConn blue. Plus Kofi? For real? It feels like to much to hope for, but I guess our chances look pretty reasonable.

This would be an absolute coup.

 

[David 76]

Reasonable but not probable?

Pride goeth before a fall ... they must be very, very confident if they are letting this out to the media. Presumably trying to build momentum for the class with the other recruits. Akok our first commit?
