Class of 2019 PF Akok Akok (CT) to UConn

i don't think that would be a wise move. never cut off the option for a kid with this kind of upside.
. . . indeed, taking kai jones lets akok know he doesn't have to worry about being used as a 4 or 5.

Also, I want all of them.

Dat boy good. This may be to sign and seal

Akok & Guerrier. Everything else is gravy.

Understand we need a big in this class - wouldn’t matter quite as much who we got if we get these two.

It depends. If the staff wants both, then of course they wouldn’t use that tactic. But if they see these guys as their 1a and 1b at the PF spot, and only have one spot, then they should use that leverage.

If the staff wants both.

they do

 

[AZOrange]

they do

They can absolutely get both

Good, I want both too. Along with Guerrier and hopefully Stewart. That would be an incredible sell job by the coaches.

I see jones as a kid that will lift and watch for a year then start playing well. Akok I feel is ready right away as is Stewart and Guerrero. If that group signed I would sheet myself then and there. That would be just awesome

Yup. Would be outstanding. A beast and physical guy like Stewart to go along with a bunch of rangy/lean cats. I just don’t want only a beanpole big and/or Wahab.

Guess UConn is out

 

[Orangefan1]

Bye bye UConn

 

[Cusesky8214]

I'd have to think our chances are pretty damn good with a list like that...shouldnt even be a competition honestly...

 

[PauliePeppas]

Maryland worries me the most here

 

[littlereg]

Not hearing UCANT is big.

 

[Orangefan1]

Maryland? This is the first I’m hearing about Maryland

 

[AZOrange]

This is JBs top guy...not quiet for JB

 

[AZOrange]

Maryland worries me the most here

Not me. Still think he’s our next signee...

there is a reason you don't see more big names on that list . . .

Not me. Still think he’s our next signee...

might not be the literal next, but yes, very confident in this one

and why’s that?

 

[jdubs30]

Updated the tweet to say that UConn is still involved

 

[Sherman20]

Eh, Turd man could be on the hot seat soon. they’d be a bad choice, imo

 

[shu 49]

Jones, Guerrero, and Akok plus Goodine would be a steal for us. Height, athleticism, and basketball IQ all up there. I want Stewart but I don’t see it and we have our soph so I am good there. Let’s real these guys in.
