PE being the lead doesn't mean his assistants can't build solid relationships with these kids too right? You're right that there's not an exact science to recruiting but it can't hurt to have as many staff members as possible trying to build relationships with recruits.. The article reminded me of Whitney saying he really only spoke with Orr during his recruitment. Not trying to say it would have swayed him.. In Akok's case I'll agree that PC & Cuse had a head start but Uconn got in around a similar timeframe to Gtown.. Kahlil Whitney article from 8/1/18 I mean, who knows with Akok. Most people think he has a stronger relationship with some of those other schools, so maybe that's why he's mentioning the assistant coaches. Maybe he's just closer with Ewing than the Georgetown assistants. Or maybe it's a bigger deal to him that Ewing is talking with him as opposed to the Georgetown assistants that are in contact with him. We know that assistants are out there with Ewing. We see pictures of them with him at tournaments. Even Kirby was in photos on Ewing's infamous California trip to meet with Akinjo. So I'm not sure how much we can infer about the assistant coaches from one article about one recruit. The quote from Whitney on 8/1 came after he'd blown up over the spring & summer, it's easy to see why PE would be calling every day. Here's the quote I was referring to.. From May 16th Flohoops article This quote came after having an offer from Gtown since October 2017.. The points you've listed above are definitely fair. I never thought Akok was coming to Gtown so I'm not at all surprised that he's tighter with other programs but the kid has had an offer from Gtown since April which seems to be enough time for more than one staff member to make enough an impression on him that he mentions them when asked "who's recruiting you at Gtown?".. Being out on the road is good but is the entire staff building solid relationships with kids? To me, that's what remains to be seen on a consistent level and will be a key to future recruiting ...

This fellow lists 5 schools that includes Maryland and Syracuse, and you say please not Providence? Me begs to differ. I don't care how strong a Big East team is or may be, I would always prefer that team to be selected over either the Twerps or the Orange.

Providence would love to add another member from the Rivals150 alongside four-star forward Greg Gantt, and Akok Akok could be a guy who would answer a lot of its questions in the 2019 class. However, there is a lot more time to go in his recruitment, as UConn, Pitt, Maryland, Georgetown and Syracuse are just a few that have invested a good amount of time in recruiting him. While it's difficult to forecast, I think Providence will miss on Akok. basketballrecruiting.rivals.com/news/wednesday-s-leftovers-dishing-on-duke-unc-and-plenty-of-prospects
