After officially enrolling at UConn this week, Akok Akok has gone through two practices so far with the men’s basketball team and the early returns appear good.
“It was fun, we were able to get some skill work with him,” head coach Dan Hurley said. “He hit a three then he spooked a couple guys in front of the rim when they drove it so those are good things to see, a four man that can make a three and a four man that can change shots at the rim.”
While Akok can’t play this season, he can contribute immediately as a scout player to help the Huskies prepare for other bigs that can stretch the defense.
