Five-star SF Emmanuel Akot spurns east coast power to head west

Looks like he will be heading further out west.

Emmanuel Akot is one of the few five-star players that rides under the radar and it's probably not too hard to do playing in Mt. Pleasant, Utah. He's ranked as the No. 3 small forward in the class of 2018 and he will be staying out west instead of potentially heading to Louisville —- one of the schools in his top list.

The 6'7", 190-pound forward has been rapidly improving in the last couple of years and should be a great player for Sean Miller and the Wildcats. He also had offers from Virginia Tech, Utah, N.C. State and Oregon among others.
