ON THE RECORD
"I'm glad to have the opportunity to coach Akok Akok- I've liked his game for a long time. The way he blocks shots, shoots the ball and can be an anchor on defense - that's something I'm looking forward to seeing from him next season."
- Head Coach Patrick Ewing on Akok Akok
 
"I chose Georgetown because it was a great fit and I trust the coaching staff. I've known Coach Ewing for a while, Coach Nickelberry has worked with some people I know - they are both talented coaches and this is a great opportunity.
