Hoops_Legend Posted March 27, 2014 Report Posted March 27, 2014 What ever happened to Akoy Agau after he was suspended by Louisville back in December.... Is he a transfer option? gobigredbrah and BirdsOnTheBat 1 1 Quote
Huskerpapa Posted March 27, 2014 Report Posted March 27, 2014 Nope...he came back and provided minutes in a back up position. I doubt he will transfer. Quote
Hoops_Legend Posted March 27, 2014 Author Report Posted March 27, 2014 He really made a bad decision bc right now he would be without a doubt starter right now for Nebraska. The line up would be: Pg. Webster Sg: Shavon Shields Sf: Terran Petteway Pf: Walter Pitchford C: Akoy Agau jaimes2000, BirdsOnTheBat and Norm Peterson 1 2 Quote
HB Posted March 27, 2014 Report Posted March 27, 2014 He played 93 minutes in 18 games. Averaged 5.2 minutes in those games. 7 field goals, 3 free throws, 7 turnovers, 21 boards. He did make a 3 pointer. I bet the place went nuts when that happened. Quote

It's not like he is a huge contributor and plays a ton of minutes like he probably would have here... Quote

But you can't say that HE made a really bad decision... It is very likely that his perspective was wanting to play for a championship. Obviously he had to know that playing time would be easier had here. jaimes2000 1 Quote

NU Hoops Posted March 28, 2014 Report Posted March 28, 2014 Is there any truth to the rumor that Miles told Agau that NU is not a backup option if things didn't work out at Louisville? I would find that hard to believe. Also, if Agau did transfer here, would he be eligible immediately or would he still have to sit out a year? I believe if Agau would transfer to any school, it would be next year. Agau knew he wouldn't be getting minutes this year when he committed to Louisville, but next year will be a different story, IMO. If he doesn't get much more playing time next year, Agau might be willing to move on. Quote

Not saying that's the case here, but it wouldn't be a huge surprise either. Quote

GoBigRed Posted March 28, 2014 Report Posted March 28, 2014 I've heard Agau could end up at UMKC (former Louisville coach who recruited him to UL is now head coach there) or UNC Wilmington (where another Louisville assistant just became head coach). And that this could very well happen after this season. Quote
The_Vault Posted March 29, 2014 Report Posted March 29, 2014 He's getting minutes vs Kentucky right now so I think he'll stay put HB and jaimes2000 1 1 Quote
trickey Posted March 29, 2014 Report Posted March 29, 2014 He's getting minutes vs Kentucky right now so I think he'll stay put Two minutes with no shots/rebounds/assists/etc. surely this is more than he ever expected !!! staying put??? maybe... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0A5t5_O8hdA P.S. He could be a bluejay in '16. jaimes2000 and HB 1 1 Quote
jimmykc Posted March 29, 2014 Report Posted March 29, 2014 I thought Vooch would have been able to put up the same line if he had been in there. HB 1 Quote
The_Vault Posted March 29, 2014 Report Posted March 29, 2014 He's a freshman. Since when is it a norm for a not top 70 recruit to get meaningful minutes on a championship level team?? I think it's pretty realistic the amount of playing time he's getting. You have to earn your minutes and I think he understands that jaimes2000 1 Quote
hhcmatt Posted March 31, 2014 Report Posted March 31, 2014 Also, if Agau did transfer here, would he be eligible immediately or would he still have to sit out a year? It's rare you can jump from one Div 1 school to other without sitting a year. Quote

hhcmatt Posted April 7, 2014 Report Posted April 7, 2014 We may entertain adding a fifth-year guy, but we don't plan on anyone else leaving. Akoy Agau has very great talent, and you don't get to see because you're not at practice. His thing was he was so intimidated every single day at practice by Montrezl Harrell. He's going to really blossom if Montrezl leaves. If Montrezl stays, he's probably going to commit suicide. - Rick Pitino http://www.cardchronicle.com/2014/3/31/5567636/rick-pitino-wraps-up-2013-14-season-looks-ahead-to-2014-15 NeHoops 1 Quote

Huskerbb73 Posted April 7, 2014 Report Posted April 7, 2014 Also, if Agau did transfer here, would he be eligible immediately or would he still have to sit out a year? It's rare you can jump from one Div 1 school to other without sitting a year. Yep, it is. About the only way he could do it is with some sort of hardship waiver. I know that guys have transferred closer to home due to a family member being sick or ill. They would have to apply to the NCAA for a waiver. Quote
TheKamdyMan Posted April 14, 2014 Report Posted April 14, 2014 looks like Montrzel Harrell is staying in school so that will keep Agau down to limited minutes again for another season most likely. Quote
Red Rum Posted April 14, 2014 Report Posted April 14, 2014 And aparently scared crapless at practice. I can't reall blame him, that kid is a beast. Quote
