Do we have to have Akok in order to get Cockburn? Package deal?

is Precious Achiuwa related to former St. Johns player God's Gift Achiuwa?

They’re brothers. There’s also another younger brother named God’s Will.

I’m not even going to bit on the obvious Drake pun here.

 

[HungryHuskies]

Sorry but no. We need some top 60 guys.

Yes I agree. I was referring to us needing more players with his toughness and grit, which resembles a typical UConn player.

 

[UconnU]

Big Lester Quinones fan. He led St. Benedicts in scoring last year. He's been moving up the rankings recently. 6'5 2 guard, lights out shooter, will be a 4 year player.

 

[polycom]

More Christian Vitals.

False

 

[UconnU]

Not landing Tremont Waters still bothers me. How can we not land a kid like that from CT. A carbon copy of Shabazz Napier and he averages 15+ as a frosh in the SEC. So frustrating.

Thats a pretty big package there. I think the idea of them coming together is hard to swallow.

Because it's pretty much assumed that L$U is one of the dirtiest programs in the history of dirt? Oh, and the fact that we were recruiting a player who wanted to be the man from day one at a position where we had a borderline All-American returning and a McD's AA ahead of him? Why is this so hard for the peoples to understand?

 

[mauconnfan]

So we’re close to each other. He’s a hard Michigan lean.

Didn’t he visit UConn and went to a game in which we were hammered by someone? Soon thereafter he listed his favorites and we were no longer being considered?

Maybe Hurley changes it but sounds like we have no shot.

Gods Gift from ECC to St. John’s?

Very normal name it's just that usually the name is in that tribes language did it doesn't sound as funny. Alot of Nigerians have the word God somewhere in their name. Names are often a short sentences... God is good, God is patient..ect

 

[mauconnfan]

Lets get some Ct. kids for a change.

J. Dileaire Excellent Saw him at Granby as Fr.

J. Williams-Simsbury 2019
T. Archer-Enfield 2019
C. McKiethan- Windsor 2020
Ct has the best HS Basketball in NE

Let's get some really good basketball players, don't care where they're from. And I haven't heard about any of these on a national level or even regional minus Dellaire so let's move on from CT please.

We were saving the payment for KO's buyout

"Big 3" atop Connecticut's 2019 Class | New England Recruiting Report
Connecticut's junior class is led by a trio of frontcourt prospects who all project as consensus top 100 national prospects in Putnam Science Academy's Akok Akok, Loomis Chaffee's Jaiden Delaire, and Woodstock Academy's Tre Mitchell.

 

[Bonk]

Does anyone know if Taelon Martin is eligible to move from 2020 class to 2019? I thought I saw that somewhere

 

[Storrs South]

He was originally 2019 and reclassified to 2020 last year. I don't see why he couldn't reclassify back to 2019.

I wonder if Hurley still has ties there

I heard something rubbed Akok the wrong way the last time he played Chaffee.

 

[uconnphil2016]

Hopefully Akok can be tugged towards Storrs

 

[Storrs South]

 

[Jaybo]

What class is he?

 

[UconnU]

What class is he?

I believe he's 2019. But take this statement with a grain of salt, This is his coach tweeting this.

2019

Confused me seen 2018 in a link I clicked on searching him

Yeah important to realize this is a coach saying that his player went to an open gym that these coaches were at rather than the coaches going to an open gym the player was at. These guys were there for Akok Akok, Langford, etc, not this kid.

Yea, to put it in perspective a few tweets earlier he was tweeting about Traore's visit to NJIT and how impressed he was with the facilities...

Pretty much every sentence you can think of with this kid can be made into a joke. Amazing.

I want Chol Marial
Chol Marial, IMG Academy, Center (BK)

No. He's barely played because he's always injured. Guarantee his college career isn't more than 15 games – he's going to show up, put some ice on his knees and then declare for the draft.
