I enjoy looking at these projection models, but honestly I feel we are about 2 more weeks worth of data away from them meaning much as predictors.

As I said, I was going off of maybe 5 minutes of game time. And from what I saw he shouldn’t have passed it

I think "% of making Tourny" is a joke. I don't mind too much the season W/L projections or the "% of 'X' Wins getting to tourny"

I was asked if I want in and an not a student

If we could somehow get 200 people there, it would have a huge impact. You'd hear then for sure

4 star PF Babatunde Akingbola just committed. Class of 2019. To me, this officially signals the end of #FBIGate and all wheels forward with Bruce Pearl and this basketball program.

Regardless of the status of Purifoy and Wiley going forward, our basketball program has arrived.. and doesn't appear to be going anywhere but up.

Edited to say: Per AUHoopsBlog on twitter, Akingbola could reclassify and join the team next season.

I'd rather him continue to develop on an elite high school team for 1 more year

Well, I haven't watched him play other than a quick highlight video.. but if he enrolled this fall he would actually potentially take a redshirt year. Which is, crazy, and shows how far we have come as a basketball program. Could only see that happening if Purifoy and Wiley return though.

Do we have a shot with Okoko that plays with Akingbomo at MacEachern?

I think it would be more beneficial for him to come on, he can redshirt and get the same extra year of eligibility and higher level of development.

So Babatunde is teammates with -#40 wing Isaac Okuro. Okuro has camped at AU and appears to have interest

Okuro also retweeted Akingbola s commitment tweet if we are grasping for straws

To crush your hopes and dreams Okoko retweets anything related to people at MacEachern getting scholarships or committing.

But I want him.
