It was announced yesterday and confirmed by Sean Miller during Tuesday’s media day, that Emmanuel Akot is leaving the team. According to Miller, Akot told the coaches of his intentions to transfer after the team returned home from the Bay Area trip on Sunday
Typically you see players make the decision to transfer before the season, at winter break, or at the end of a season. The timing of Akot’s decision to transfer is odd and not ideal for the Wildcats.
Akot was a starter for the past 11 games and one of four Arizona players standing 6-foot-7 or taller.
