Class of 2019 PF Akok Akok (CT) to UConn

[jordoo]

So basically exactly what some posters here have said about Hurley sensationalizing UConns chances and position with recruits has been exposed this week.

Lol. Looks like we sent a private jet to get him. Wonder if it had an Orange middle finger logo on the side.

P5 > P6

 

[SU Dreaming]

Gmac flew down on the Cuse netjet to pick up Akok tonight, I wonder if Hurley is allowed to fly 1st class?

Why would he go to CT? To never been seen again? We are partners with ESPN. We have tops in Falk, Newhouse and SIS, among others.

When kids sign paperwork with SU it’s over $350, 000.00 present value (only going up) for 4 year tuition, room and board plus the kids now get money every week, it’s substantial and game changing for kids.

Our staff has done a great job presenting the package, it is a huge advantage besides everything else,

I didn't know we were rolling with the private jet!

This is Gerry right now:

acc payouts = netjet
aac payouts = uber

Ok I'm going to ask it and be the dumb one...is the private jet thing for real?

Yep.

 

[albanycuse]

He looks like he’s related to kueth duany. I’ll take him helping us win a NC.

 

[Cusesky8214]

Yep.

Jeesh I almost feel bad for Yukon now...almost!

I think you meant Uber Pool.

And the private jet makes sense. It’s not like there are a ton of late night direct options from CT to Syracuse.

Beats the days when KO’s family had to take a yellow cab from JFK.

 

[Cusesky8214]

This ones gold... :rolling:

Probably a caravan that picks up and drops passengers off to and from the airport.

It’s fascinating reading the convoluted rationalizations as this thing plays out.
Each step along the way, they find some reason to explain why their- “He verballed” and, “ He’s canceling his Cuse visit” predictions haven’t panned out.
Now it morphed into- “Well, he’s just a loyal kid who doesn’t wanna disappoint those other schools by declaring for Hurley w/out a visit”!
Their insiders still sticking to their guns though. Guess they’ve got nothing to lose at this point...what with recruiting being “fluid” and all.

That fluid being UConn fans' tears.

Even if he does end up going to UConn, this whole week has been pretty funny.

“he’s cancelled the Syracuse visit”


LOL

 

[SUFan44]

Private jet doesn’t make it seem like we think we are out of it. Not in the slightest, actually.

 

[HOFCeluck]

“He’s very loyal that’s why he’s honoring the visit even though he verballed.”

I can think of a less convoluted reason.

 

[jdubs30]

"Akok briefly spoke with Hurley before he boarded a flight for Syracuse"

 

[edowd26]

Storrs will be upset to know that its going to be a balmy 65 degrees Fahrenheit and sunny in syracuse today.

I am conflicted here i always wanted AA as the top option for cuse this class but now that IS is back in good shape i dont know what to do. How does the staff handle this first come first or do they tell AA to wait on IS. I would love both but think the chances one would commit after the other to me is very low prob. Next few weeks are gonna be fun

You take the commitment from either right away and keep recruiting the other guy too!!!!
