When we spoke to him then, he had this to say about how he would describe his game:
“I am skilled for someone my size. I feel like and I think that I also move pretty well and that I’m very versatile.”
We caught up with Aklog, the intriguing freshman, to see how his season has been going, fighting through some injuries, and also his excitement about earning his first offer. Check out what he had to say with us on the latest.
