OFFICIAL: Akok Akok Signs with West Virginia
Monday afternoon, West Virginia University interim head coach Josh Eilert announced the signing of Georgetown transfer Akok Akok.
“Akok runs the floor extremely well and adds athleticism to our roster,” Eilert said. “He gives us the ability to stretch the floor with his shot-making skill. Akok will give us a bigger defensive presence with his shot blocking, his ability to alter shots around the rim and the way he can sit down and guard. He really gives us many different attributes that we didn’t have. Akok has played a great deal of Big East basketball and brings more experience to our roster.”
Akok averaged 6.5 points and 6.2 rebounds per game last season after averaging 3.4 and 3.2, respectively, a year prior at UConn.
Akok spent his first three collegiate seasons at UCONN before transferring to Georgetown last season.
Whike at UConn, Akok faced the Mountaineers during the 2021-22 season in Morgantown, where he grabbed 10 rebounds and chipped in two points in the Mountaineers 56-53 win over the Huskies.
