Hurley in to see Akok

The first time I saw Lamar Odom play was his year with Redemption. Good lord he was good.

I really thought he was headed to UConn, he was so comfortable visiting our locker room when we were at MSG. But it got complicated.

I will say this, Ak Ak has always been labeled a loyal kid, so I am not terribly surprised he is taking his his visits. Syracuse has invested a ton of time in him, and I can understand wanting to honor your visit.

Danny and Tom going to see him speaks very loudly.

In terms of being desperate? Absolutely LOL

If he’s as loyal as they say he is, I agree it doesn’t surprise me he’s going to honor his previous commitment and take the visit.

I’d be surprised if the coaching staff wasn’t well informed that the visit was going to happen before they spoke with him last night. That said, it’s great to see our head coach out there himself putting the full court press on kids no matter how much of a lean they may be to the good guys.

Very refreshing to see someone out there not taking a second for granted and assuming nothing and continuing to grind.

That said I hope Akok enjoys his parting gift of snow on 10/21.

Code for "Chef knows secret stuff but Chef can't tell you because he's friends with people so keep on thinking Chef is cool". As for the topic- Hurley is everything we have been missing since Calhoun. Love the effort!
 
The Syracuse visit is not good at all no matter how you look at it. Anytime a recruit visits another school after us is never good. Not saying its sign he won't come here as there are plenty of examples where a recruit visited a school after us and still came here but I'm sure Hurley and company wanted a commitment before he left.

Maybe he really does want to wait until spring to commit. Who knows.

Its never a good sign. Hopefully, good still comes from this. At worst, this visit should put an end to this ridiculous dam metaphor.

This is why I wait until the kid announces himself and then signs his letter

Wait, he's going to sign his LOI to us during his Syracuse visit? Oh, I like this kid a lot.

Also, this happens regularly in CBB recruiting. Some recruits just like to take all their visits. The past regime has given us a mild case of PTSD. You can take comfort in the fact that Danny and Tom WILL NOT let up. They're relentless. Something we could never say about the last regime

Wow, once you saw the light, you really saw the light.
 
I am not too worried. Hurley and co. have all their eggs in one basket here. They are offering more PT at the position than Cuse and are not really focusing on any other forwards outside of Precious who might be a spring signee where ever he goes. Akok visiting because he said he would, plain and simple.

Silly to hope/expect a kid not to take visits. It's free and fun and he is young and likely not used to being pampered by Universities. Let the kid enjoy his time in HS and the college eval process. I think we should all be thrilled with the work the staff is putting in. We won't lose because of lack of effort or being outworked by opponents and that's all we can hope for.

Is Ithaca Matt flying him there?
From where would he take a flight to Syracuse from PSA after a 7 PM game? Hartford? Providence?
Checked Expedia and the latest flights are 7:xx PM so he couldn't fly from those airports tonight unless they sent a private plane for him.
Expand ...

They sent a private jet for him.
 
For what it’s worth he follows a lot of UConnMBB players. I don’t see any Cuse following at all whatsoever. It’s been like that for months now.
