"My leadership. I take a lot of pride in making sure my team is on the same page," said Nebraska basketball's first and so far lone commit for 2017. "And that everybody has as much confidence going into the game as they should."
The Huskers were confident enough in Akenten to be the first major program to offer the 6-foot-6, 210-pound wing back in June.
Now it looks like that confidence is paying off.
