Ready to increase on-court work Connecticut head coach Dan Hurley said Wednesday that Akok (Achilles) could begin taking part in 1-on-1 and 3-on-3 on-court workouts within the next couple of weeks, Charlotte Carr... Impact While Akok appears to be coming along well in his recovery from February surgery to repair a ruptured left Achilles' tendon, the sophomore big man doesn't look like he'll be ready to go for the start of the 2020-21 campaign. Instead, Connecticut is likely targeting the middle portion of its Big East schedule for Akok to make his season debut. Akok was a regular starter for the Huskies as a redshirt freshman last season, but Hurley may prefer to reintegrate Akok as a bench player once he's deemed ready to play.
