I like that kid. He's a decent interview for a young kid. He's bigger than he looks on the court.

Akok

Love this kid. Serious about the game, smart he's going to be so much better in 2 months even.

 

[mauconnfan]

Nice interview with Tyler too good kid!

Hurley "Josh has to be more a brute physical finisher down there, a beast". Right on.

 

[FatHank]

Both great interviews. Akok has a really good head on his shoulders.

Hurley "Josh has to be more a brute physical finisher down there, a beast". Right on.

We’re a solid team that can run, shoot, defend, turn teams over but with exception of BA we’re not a tough enough, gritty enough team yet. We’re not feared.

Bouknight's minutes will increase as his defense improves.

Highest on Akok of all the freshmen currently because of the energy he bring to the team. Feels that he'll get plus ten points when other players know how to properly feed him. Feels he's good for plus two blocks and north of six rebounds.

Hurley has focused on defense with the team at the expense of offense and attributes that along with not finishing strong at the rim for the poorer start with offense. Wasn't there a HOF coach who worked on defense first with his younger teams?

Great interview by Hurley.

the man is a hoopin' maestro. and when he wasn't maestro'in, it sounded like he was telling a certain 6'11' 260 lb young man to 'turn and dunk with UConn intensity.'

Just got an email from UConn with 2 complimentary tickets to the game. My guess is it was sent to all XL season tix holders. Awesome decision by athletic department.

Akok is all business. Smart guy. I would love to see him crack a smile or laugh just once..

Polley mentioned taking extra shots before practice after practice. He gets it.. It’s all just a confidence thing with him.

It’s gunna be LITTY!

Heard Dan Hurley say that in an interview and i have no clue what it means. The reporters didn’t seem to either.

Merry Christmas! Hopefully he'll have a big smile tonight after some blocks and a few threes.

Tyler has an incredible voice, suited for TV broadcasting...after his NBA career is done of course.
