Tee4three Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Another Canadian Like that we have a coaching staff recruiting Ontario for once, it should be a great pipe line Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ubbullsfan09 Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Looks pretty athletic from his highlight tape, which is mostly dunks. Looks very skinny for a D1 player but he has time to build up strength. Doesn’t seem like he has any other D1 offers which is concerning, but maybe we’ve found a diamond in the rough we can develop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocCas86 Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 I like the sound of defensive menace. The Bulls definitely need to up their defensive game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of Canadian players go under the radar, especially if they stay up in Canada for HS. This kid is an absolute baller 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MuchMany Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 (edited) All my ranting and raving about recruiting Canada is being rewarded. Let's see if the staff or I know what the hell we're doing and if these guys are any good! Family is from South Sudan. Came to Canada in 2000 before Sam was born. (Again - Sabol, Boldin, McVeigh, Wilson all follow the kid immediately) https://www.themapleminute.com/post/tony-house-s-canada-top-flight-program-primed-for-success-in-upcoming-season Sam Akot – 6'7, 2024 W Akot, with interest from Division 1 schools like Stonehill, Marshall, and Pepperdine, is a talented wing player. With his athleticism and versatility, he is set to make a significant impact on the team this season. He will be coming off an impressive season with Red Rush during the AAU circuit. I had the chance to see Sam play in person at the Ball Don't Stop High School Showcase game at the Toronto Pan-Am Centre earlier this month & he thoroughly impressed by my standards. I can't help but draw a recency bias comparison to the newest member of the Minnesota Timberwolves, Leonard Miller. The frame and the way he moves on the court reminded me a lot of the G-League standout. I think Sam Akot could be a dark horse to compete for a spot in the top 10 in the country when the 2024 season concludes.

Hopefully he gets some more PT next season. i am kinda excited getting these international guys that look athletic. May be more willing to listen to the staff and run a system. I agree that defensive menace sounds good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chet Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 I couldn’t find anything on him from Rivals or ESPN. Can someone share? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trueblue32 Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 Could be a “diamond in the rough” or could be appropriately lightly recruited like all the freshmen this year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think being international he’s likely not on rivals or 247 https://www.cityofbasketballlove.com/news_article/show/1278670 I do like hearing about his great defense. Also his coach on X said how hard he works and how much he has improved. Sounds like a decent 3 point shooter and realizes he needs to get stronger. Sounds like the kind of kid yoI want on your team.

COBL as a site has been around for many years and is very well run by Josh Verlin. It is often my go to for Philly area hoops info and is also very reliable. They run prospect camps in the summer and have great coverage this time of the year for all the playoff HS and college conference tournament games going on.
