Akok is the third transfer within the BIG EAST, following Corey Floyd Jr. transferring from UConn to Providence (after a red-shirt year) and DePaul’s David Jones moving to St. John’s.
Akok Akok is transferring after three years at UConn. Akok had also been looking at Pittsburgh and Ohio Sate recently.
Mass Rivals coach Vin Pastore told @PghSportsNow that Akok Akok has arrived on campus at #Pitt for his visit.
Visit was initially scheduled for last week, but after Akok caught an illness, it was pushed back to this week.https://t.co/0x4HWs0IM5
