Shot blocking machine if this video is an indicator. Akolda Manyang 7 Footer BLOCKS EVERYTHING - 2012 Nike EYBL Minneapolis - YouTube

According to this story, averaged 18 points and 14 rebounds as a junior in high school in Duluth, MN. However, he was suspended from the Minnesota state tournament because he was caught smoking - not weed, but regular old cigarettes - at the home for at risk youth where he lives.

I haven't seen that Tennessee has been in contact, but maybe I've missed it.

Do you have a link to the tweet mentioning Tennessee?

I've seen only mid majors so far...

After just watching 26 seconds, I like this guy, reckless and goes after the ball.

Ah ok it was 2 different tweets thats why i missed it thanks!

Glad were starting to see some posts now, agau, whitman, rimmer and now Akolda. Id love to add a shot blocking presence, thatd make CCMs defense that much better imo, huge advantage when guarding the perimeter knowing you have a shotblocker behind you.

7 foot and has the stamina to smoke and still play? yep. I want him. Had a kid on our football team who ran a 4.4 and smoked a pack a week, was in better shape than all of us. Hoping he is a bit like that (the 4.4 is certainly not necessary)

Time will tell. His scholarship offers may blow up over the next few months. Until then, I'll reserve my judgement on him.
