James Akinjo

I know it's one game, but I am watching James Akinjo against Illinois, and he is great. He is a better version of Alterique Gilbert, don't hate me for saying it, just watch him play.

I watched the whole game tonight and your not wrong. He can play and made big shots down the stretch. Would have loved to see him in a Uconn uniform.

Calm down. He’s not better than Gilbert but he’s good.

Having watched a couple of his games, I'm disappointed he quit on UConn, and I wonder if he will regret not wanting to play for Hurley. The jury is still out on Ewing's coaching ability.

I’m watching this game as well because there is not a lot of other games on and he is legitimate. I hate that he decommited but I understand. Great catch for G Town.

He's outstanding but so is Alterique. If we had Akinjo we would still have Ollie, count your blessings we don't have Akinjo.

Ewing is so crazy lucky to have Akinjo and McClung fall in his lap.

Akinjo was awesome to watch. I'm happy to root for him. He wanted to play here and we fired the coach that recruited him. Seems like it's gonna work out good for both sides.

He was 1-8 from 2 coming into the game tonight (against Maryland Eastern Shore and Central Connecticut), had 5 turnovers tonight, and is shooting 3/12 from 3 for the season. Relax.

He isn't better than Alterique and he didn't quit on Uconn.

I wouldnt call 5 turnovers great.

He was great, best player on the floor the last 8 minutes.

James is a great player, AG is a great player. AG is 2 years older & 2 years removed from ball. To compare the two is wild.

This is on my MT Rushmore of dumbest posts of this season.

eh i watched it he wasnt "great". He made some good plays down the stretch. He will be a great player though

We replaced Akinjo with Tarin Smith. We won.

I'm going to play both sides on the fence in this thread it appears but a big nope on this post. We are building for the future.

I watched it too, he was great and will be a great player. He dominated the game down the stretch and was player of the game. I also could care less about him not being here, just calling it straight.

The “what if” game is pointless. James is this team, means no B.A, T.Smith & likely Gaffney/Bouk.....”Recruiting is fluid” for a reason. No single event is an isolated event. Wish him the best & move on

 

[Fishy]

Akinjo is going to be terrific. The kid is a winner - would love to have him here.

The other two recruits we lost look like projects - Matthews DNP’d in West Virginia’s first game and Kasunas has played sparingly in Stanford’s first few games.

Give us back Enoch, Vance and Akinjo and Hurley would make magic this year.

“We got Tarin Smith, HE’S NOT BAD!”

You want to build for the future, win big this year and get UCONN back on the map for top recruits. Winning this year is building for the future.

Maybe our ideas of "great" are just different. Jalen has these games in his sleep

I don't even want to get into it because Tarin Smith looks like an awesome fit for our team but your take is bad.

LOL, can Akinjo play center? If Ollie stays, 320 pound Cobb is our starting center.
