flatwaterfan Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 About 12 hours away.. Too bad its not on ESPNU or anything.. He can sign papers right away, correct? My understanding is no, he cannot sign until the April signing period. I know where I am going to be at 3:20 today. With who ever he decides I wish him the best of luck. Quote Link to comment
Comish Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 Assuming he signs (I know, I know the old saying about what assuming gets you), but IF he does, how does that mitigate the loss of Akoy? Are we better off with an experienced juco or a talented freshman? In other words, will you be happier with Atewe (can we pronounce it ....atta way!), or would we have been better served with Akoy?

Apologies in advance if I'm reading your post wrong, but it is my understanding that Atewe is a HS prospect, not a JUCO prospect? Correct me if I'm wrong? Quote Link to comment

I worded that poorly. Somehow in my feeble mind, I was thinking because he was at a prep school, he would have LESS than a full four years available. Regardless, in no way should I have labeled him a juco. But my question remains..........IF we sign him, is that snag a better answer for us than Akoy? Quote Link to comment

I'm exercising the "wait-and-see" approach with the Atewe/Akoy comparison. It probably depends on the type of fan you are? If you're the type that follows recruiting closely and subscribes to the star ranking system, then Akoy is seen as the better prospect. While I wish Akoy the best at Louisville, I'm excited to see what Miles' GATA philosophy can do for Atewe? Hopefully it's a good fit? Fans will forget missing on Akoy if Atewe shows the ability to play within the system and wins us some games in the process. Like I said, wait-and-see... Quote Link to comment
Lil' Red Posted March 30, 2013 Author Share Posted March 30, 2013 The 3:20 time is eastern so he should be announcing in about half an hour. Quote Link to comment
