Ollie out at UCONN. JAMES Akinjo?
- Thread starter superle
- Start date
If he was smart he had a backup plan working because this was no surprise.
A lot of schools would love to have him. I'm sure he lands somewhere good.

If the coach is fired I’m pretty sure they release him. I’ve never heard of a situation where they haven’t. They will release him and I’m sure he will land at a pac 12 maybe Arizona or USC.
99% of the time a school allows a kid to back out after a coach’s firing.
They are also using "Just Cause" as part of his firing. Meaning they are attempting to not pay the 10 million he is owed. They are under investigation.
Indeed, I have heard that James is going to de-commit by Monday.
Honestly, if James were smart he would go the "Lillard" route and play for a smaller school. Teams that I think would work for his style of play are St. Mary's, USF, Grand Canyon and my darkhorse is Pacific University.
Damon Stoudamire still needs a guard next year, and I think he could connect with Akinjo the way Ollie did. Look for Pacific to come in and potentially seal up Akinjo.
Akinjo is a pac 12 kid. He can go to most pac 12 teams and start right away. Not sure who will jump on ship. I’m sure Arizona will now that every kid in 2018 has de-committed. But not sure if that’s a good situation for him with the Miller FBI case. Obviously he will do great in WCC but just think that’s not his type of basketball. Unless he was to go to Gonzaga
Wow it's probably been a rough 24 hours for Akinjo, first getting upset in round one and now this.
Have to agree. Adversity is good though, and it'll really show us whether Akinjo is the real deal or not.
I don't see AKINJO going from a UCONN national recruit to UOP. Sorry that aint happening.
Like I said earlier this was brewing for quite sometime. If he was smart he was talking to other coaches.

Rivals Ben Parker reported this morning, "Cal is going after both Akinjo and Tevian Jones in addition to Jordan Brown. Gonna be interesting to see how this all shakes out."
Would be really cool if all that talent fell into the Bears Lap! Mellis went to Cal.
You never know. Damon Stoudemare obviously was a pro, seems like he should be able to start getting some better prospects at UOP. Especially, a point guard. If he were my kid, I would want him to be coached by a former pro at his position.
