Would have been nice if Ollie showed interest in Ty Jerome (New Rochelle). Hurley was in on him at URI. I guess a 3-point assassin didn't fit Ollies long term plan.

Covered him in HS when I was still interested in journalism. Never saw a HS player with a higher IQ. Absolute floor general.

This kid is amazing. I think he's one of the most underrated players in the nation.

Thanks for your opinion
Imagine this years team with Akinjo?

In fairness, this particular team wouldn't have gained much from James this year. The things we were really lacking, weren't exactly his forte.

Don't get me wrong, I would absolutely love to have him of course.

It's just that this year's team needed a beast power forward. And a tall, 3pt assassin at the 2/3.

Also in fairness, getting Akinjo would’ve meant retaining Ollie...

Based on the rumors that circulated and have somewhat been corroborated by the beat writers, the whole team was going to leave more or less at which point Akinjo probably would have decommited anyway when he realized he was the only guy left on the team.

Ollie coaches a skeleton crew of players made up 2 stars, grad transfers, and JUCOs the following season only to get fired a year later than he actually was let go, Hurley ends up at Pitt, and someone else has to come in and clean up even more of a dumpster fire than the one Hurley inherited this season.

Bingo, it wouldn't have been Akinjo added to this roster. There was absolutely going to be transfers, probably another mass exodus.

Every time I feel depressed about being in the AAC, it's always makes me happier when I see Syracuse fans still go out of their way to make fun of UConn for being in the AAC.

Being in the AAC is sad. Being in the ACC and still being jealous of a team in the AAC is even more sad. It's their secret little way of acknowledging 4>1....

We are living rent free in Syracuse, NY.

Hurley could have tried to rerecruit Akinjo but went with Adams instead. JA didn’t shoot it great this year but he’s an undeniable leader and a terrific ball handler. Oh and a lot of fun to watch.

Akinjo decommitted 5 seconds after KO was fired. For reasons we will never understand, the kid was dead set on playing for a coach that couldn’t adequately prepare his senior laden team to play Wagner and Northeastern to open the season. Or maybe going to OT with Monmouth and Columbia appealed to him. Or losing to Yale...we will never know.

Thanks for the reminder I almost forgot about those losses.

Ollie would have ruined him.
