I don't mean to be bitter or negative (Akoy and Louisville)

[basketballjones]

But I DO NOT see how (after watching Akoy for 4 years) Agau fits in with this Louisville team and the style of play Pitino incorporates.

Agree, disagree? And this isn't a criticism of Akoy what so ever...

Not every player makes an impact their freshman season. I see him as a good bench player up until his junior or senior season to start if he's progressed enough.

Akoy seems like he could play Diengs role, But Akoy is a bit shorter.

Shorter, but thicker and probably a tad more athletic.  I also think he has the potential to be a much better offensive player than Dieng

Dieng knocked them all down tonight.

I doubt that Petino would have recruited him if he didn't think he could fit him into his program.  I am only guessing, but I think Agau will do just fine at Louisville.  Of course, he would have done just fine as a Husker as well.

In my opinion Akoy made a good decision on going to a school that fits his style.  Central and Louisville have pretty similar styles.  They love to press and want to speed up the game.  Akoy has length and is a good athlete. 

 

Like previously said, he probably won't make much of an impact as a freshman.  He's still got a lot of developing to do on his offensive game.

He's athletic, runs the floor well and isn't afraid to play defense.  Seems like a Pitino guy to me, maybe not from day one, but he'll be just fine.

[NUdiehard]

As long as he is able to push, pull, grab, hold, hack and otherwise foul the opponent incessantly, he should do just fine.

Agreed, it is so frustrating to watch Big East basketball.

More athletic than Deng?  Are you serious? Have you seen either play?

[Silverbacked1]

Well we know that Rick only took him so he wouldn't come here and turn us around.

 

Rick was worried, very worried.

[Handy Johnson]

Here's hoping we meet them in the Tournament (I'm saying this with a straight face) and whupp their A**!

haha that caught my eye too, were talking about a guy that averages a double-double and was 8th in the NCAA in blocks last year. No way in hell is Agau more athletic.
