2014 recruiting

[Mavric]

Nebraska, Kansas, Virginia, Creighton and Providence are schools whose basketball recruiting has been impacted by a decision at Appalachian State.
The school finally released point guard Devonte Graham from a letter of intent signed in November 2012. That puts the 6-foot-1, 177-pounder from Raleigh, N.C., back in play.

“Wow, officially released!!!!” Graham tweeted Wednesday. “Thanking God right now!”

Graham asked out of his Appalachian State commitment after a strong senior season in high school led high-major programs to seek him out. When App State wouldn’t budge, alleging that North Carolina State had tampered with him, Graham attended Brewster Academy for the 2013-14 academic year.

Brewster won the National Prep School title game, with Graham scoring 22 points.

Anyone heard any rumors about if Akoy is unhappy with his playing time at Louisville.............??

Akoy won't be coming back here. At least from what I've heard anyways. All the talent he is currently behind is leaving at the end of this year and next year he has a chance at some big time minutes next year.

And nothing against Tim Miles but if you have the chance to play for Pitino for 4 years thats something you don't transfer out of IMO.

I must have misread the roster. When they played a few days ago on TV, it looked like most of the forwards/centers were underclassmen.........that he is currently playing behind..........??

If you look at the roster he is currently behind Blackshear who is a Jr., Harrell who is a Soph. but is gone after this year as most people feel he is a top 15 pick, and Hancock is a Sr. Louisville wants Akoy to play more of a SF/PF role and not a C. Mathiang is a true C and Van Treese is also a C and a Sr. so don't look at those 2 when considering this.

So after that it basically leaves Akoy and Blackshear to play the SF and PF role next year without counting the incoming recruiting class.

And of course having said this sounds like Harrell is coming back for another year. Still don't think Akoy is leaving but this definitely makes things more interesting.
