On the Coach's show tonight Coach Jans, who was sitting in for 3G, said that Coach Marshall was in Dayton tonight watching Teddy and checking out another player. Obvioulsy he could not say who that was. I don't know if it was another Dunbar player of one of the player's on the opposing team."
IMO for HCGM to go to Dayton at this time, it's Gary Akbar. Akbar verballed to Cleveland State in November but remains unsigned. It's been publicized that the reason is to add a couple of points to his test score. It's possible that this has already been accomplished. However, it's also well known that Teddy Hawkins, Akbar, and for that matter Creighton's Andre Yates would like to play together in college. As we all know, Yates did sign with Creighton. This is Yates' first year at Dunbar. Teddy and Gary have been teammates at Dunbar throughout high school although they played on different AAU teams. Teddy and Yates played AAU together on the strong Ohio Red team.
Akbar led Dunbar in scoring last night with 19. That's right at his season average. Two games ago against Hay Hi, he had 22 points and 17 rebounds and Teddy Hawkins led the team in scoring with 29 points. Last year as a junior, Akbar averaged 10.6 ppg and 9.8 rpg. Akbar is a 6-4 to 6-5 SF, although he doesn't like to put a position by his name. He verballed to Akron for a short time last summer before giving Cleveland State a verbal. He is probably a much underrated two star by the scouting sites. In the article about last night's game, Dunbar's coach calls him a man among boys at times.
In college I expect Akbar to be a tough, do all, slashing type of SG/SF wing that will do a lot of damage on the inside. Remember that @WuDrWu: has already called him a stud. In the video below, which has already been posted in Teddy's thread, Gary is #2.
