Nah, this topic will never die. After all, he could still transfer to NU as a graduated 5th-year senior

Many junior high romances have come to a similar end:  She wanted to be courted and pursued to stroke her ego; he simply thought she wasn't interested and didn't realize she was just playing hard to g

Wow! Aren't sports great. Maybe he could decide, inbetween, to become a pro rassler, also. That would create even more buzz nationally.

If I remember right during his Senior year he had a twitter rant on how, and this was the jist if I remember right, was not a big fan of Husker fans, couldn't wait to get out of this state or something like that.  Not sure he'd want to come to DONU.

Hmm.. Does miles take him? Hmm I almost think he ends up at a school like uno. If he comes home good for him, but idk if miles has another option in mind.

 

Unless we are able to land Semi and are full I think Miles wants him.

Isn't his floor Leslee Smith lite minus the knee issues? I think we would be able to build him up pretty well over the course of a year.

 

Dimes, guys, I believe he will be offered by Creighton. It is a long shot to say the least and Nebraska needs bigs, Creighton can afford the luxury of big in waiting. I don't believe we can...period. Weather we take him or not I would think Tim has to talk to him first and then make a decision. He is a man without a country so to speak. tux

Creighton doesn't have a scholarship open this semester. I'm not sure how the Jays would be in a position to offer anyone transferring mid-season.

 

My assumption was he would redshirt for year because of the NCAA, not because he isn't prepared to play. Should he actually get a medical redshirt and be able to play in the fall of 2015, he's going to play. I'm pretty skeptical that the NCAA would grant him a medical though.

just to throw this out there, but didn't he go to a husker game and stand on the side lines right after he verbaled to the Ville? I think that he and Tim have a good relationship and that might be what is needed for him to come here. Just gotta hope.

I would love to get Akoy.  He should be a good player at Nebraska.  The young man should also be humbled by his Cardinal experience.  I repeat, he should be...and if he is, he will be a better player for it. 

 

But at the risk of being vilified, I do not want to overcook the courtship.  I want him to come here because he knows it is the right place for him.  I do not want the baggage that could be a product of him being close to home.  I want a kid who wants to be a team player, I want a kid who wants to play hard.  I want a kid who wants to fit in an be an important player on the team, either as a role player, or a take charge player, whatever fits the niche. 

 

Quotes like this:

 

“My phone has been ringing nonstop with potential suitors,’’ said Scott Hammer, who coached Agau when he was younger. “It’s a pretty big list.’’

 

...always tend to bother me.  What are his demands and expectations when he picks his new team?  What happens if those demands and expectations are not met?  How is his character?  How does he fit with the other players? 

 

I repeat, I want Akoy...I wanted him before he went to the Cardinals.  But I do not want him at any cost...

See twice in less than a week I have asked a question that somebody quickly answered and had proof to back it up, GOD how I love this site and the people on it.

Thanks Swan, my mind isn't as bad as I thought.

May not mean a thing but it kind of hints that bridges were not burned after he said he was going to The Ville.

In that case, take him. He'd come in as a sophomore, immediately eligible to play next year? I'd be down with that.

 

I believe he'd be a Junior next fall in that scenario as this year would be the year he sits out as 'redshirt' after only playing in 3 games due to a medical issue, AFAIK...

It wouldn't technically be a "medical redshirt" as in restored eligibility, it would be immediate availability at new school for his JR yr...

According to Robin Washut, Nebraska is the only school located in this state that is in the mix with Akoy--the other two are not likely to be considered. Robin has an excellent article on the Akoy Agau subject today in the Red Sea Scrolls' premium "Tunnel Talk." That article is worth the price of admission!

I don't think that's what Robin Washut was quoted as saying. 

 

He played in limited action this year due, apparently, to a lingering injury.  So, this year might not count.  He could potentially still use this as his "sitting out" year, take it as a medical redshirt, and be immediately eligible next year as a sophomore, as though he'd transferred over the summer.

 

That's the way I interpreted what they said.
