Coach Dan Hurley said last month that he anticipates Akok will be back for the start of the Big East season, which begins in early January.
Doran is hopeful and optimistic that Akok will return sooner than that projected date, maybe as early as sometime in November.
"We just had a 10-week appointment with his surgeon (Monday) and his surgeon is very happy and thinks he's definitely on schedule," Doran said.

He's doing great."
