Message: [QUOTE="gtcam, post: 2690613, member: 2844"] Yakwe came to St John's with a big rep and under the impression that in 2-3 years the kid was going to be pro bound He started slow, gained some speed with a few good performances then fell apart. Some say it was because the Johnnies brought in more mobile scorers who demanded more time, some say it was Yakwe's attitude and work ethic. Who knows but to the kid's benefit we hear a lot of that crap coming out of St Johns lately. I feel he is a good pick-up for one reason - he will help Dan Hurley buy some time in working with the rest of the bigs and he can be serviceable against some of the bigger opponents with his reach, etc. He is by no means going to be a 15/10 guy but if he comes in ready to battle he will help This is not a case where UConn beat anybody of note out for this guy - Dan Hurley can offer some quality PT and the best thing is that Yakwe is a one year lease.
