13' PF Akoy Agau

[bleedingTNorange]

6'9" 230lbs(rivals)
#37 PF nationally
consensus 3*

tennessee just recently offered...

offer list:
clemson, creighton, drake, iowa, marquett, nebraska, new mexico, tennessee, wichita state, xavier

interest picking up from:
Uconn, indiana, iowa state, kansas, memphis, north carolina, texas, USC

per espn:*this is from june, he has since grown 2 inches and added weight so may project as C now. also, his offensive game supposely has progressed alot.

Strengths:
Akoy is raw offensively. He scores mostly on putbacks, dump offs and tip ins inside. He is much more of a power forward right now and probably projects to that position down the road. He has a decent touch and hit a couple of shots from 19 feet. Akoy is a good rebounder. He has solid length and showed nice effort inside. His length allows him to be a solid shotblocker on defense.

Weaknesses:
He can hit some face up jump shots but that is not his strength. He can score in the low block but currently must turn and face in order to score in the paint. He has to continue to develop but he has a chance to be a good D-I prospect down the road.

Bottom Line:
Agau, a native of Sudan, is a long, developing forward prospect with a very high ceiling. He's still raw and inexperienced, but shows flashes of becoming a dominant force in time, particularly on the defensive end.

hahaha its all good, i completely understand what youre saying.

this is a guy though whos upside is huge, and probably with a good aau season will be a 4* before long. i mean just look at the schools starting to show interest, and he says uconn is actually really starting to recruit him hard.

would be a great pickup at a position of need for us.

If he's 13 feet tall and can get up and down the floor, we need to get him.

If he can make his shots, Burt will just call him money.

Wow, nice come back sport. Now, take the white tape off your glasses and throw away that damn pocket protector! Do it NOW!

So how about Agau?

Seems like he'd be a good pickup for the 2013 class, solid post player and shot blocking presence.

I am for anyone that is a legit 6'10" or bigger and can play a little. If stokes goes next year UT's only post player will be Yemi and he is sized better to guard a 4 than a 5.
