Something doesn't feel right about Akok's decision or lack thereof.
Dom Amore reported this afternoon "UConn expects letters from Bouknight and Gaffney", but also noted:
"Several Putnam Science Academy players will be signing national letters of intent Wednesday, but UConn target Akok Akok is not ready to make a decision, coach Tom Espinosa said."
Seems odd in view of all the Boneyard insiders winks and hints, and Akok's attendance at the Morehead State game.
If he wanted to see how Hurley coaches in game situations and how hard the players play for him that game should have sealed the deal (especially when he saw how fast Hurley ran over to Carlton when he dove over the endline).
Hoping it's just that he wants some drama and a stage all to himself when he makes his announcement, but someone posted elsewhere that his father wants Syracuse and in some cultures kids show great deference to their parents' wishes.
NOT MINIMIZING & want to emphasize I Love the Picking up Carlton gesture, but in today’s age of “what have you done for me lately“, Hurley’s ability to put and elevate JA on draftboards will be 10x more significant for the type of NBA Potential players we’re looking to bring back IMO
