Yags’ Point Forward - 2019 Stock Risers

Earlier this week, Mike Yagmin profiled his biggest stock-risers in New England's class of 2018. In the second part of that series, here is a look at his biggest spring risers in the class of 2019.

Akok Akok, Mass Rivals/Putnam Science – Akok got caught up in PSA’s big man logjam during the prep season but he came out with something to prove this spring. Akok has established himself as a premier rim-protector (4 bpg) and an elite 3-point marksman (54.8%/23-42) in the national class of 2019. His advanced stats are off the charts and his prospect value is rising at the same rate. Akok has earned offers from Louisville, NC State and Virginia Tech in the process but still has a substantial amount of potential to tap into before he reaches his ceiling as a prospect.

NBPA Top 100: Which programs contacted 2019 prospects?

The recruitment of the 2019 class has been ongoing for the past few years, but yesterday things were taken to the next level. The date marked the official day that college coaches could first have direct contact with the rising junior ranks.

We reached out to some of the best on Thursday at the NBPA Top 100 Camp to discuss their recent conversations with college programs.
