The University of Washington men’s basketball team has recently made a major splash in the college basketball world by signing Nebraska’s former four-star prospect, Nana Akenten. Akenten, a 6’7″ forward, was highly sought after by many top programs across the country, but ultimately chose to join the Huskies.
Akenten is a highly talented player who has the potential to make an immediate impact on the Huskies. He is a versatile player with the ability to score from both inside and outside, as well as being a solid defender. He also has a great basketball IQ and is a great passer. Akenten was a four-star recruit coming out of high school and was ranked as the No. 61 overall prospect in the 2020 class by ESPN.
The signing of Akenten is a major coup for the Huskies and could be the missing piece that helps them make a run at the NCAA tournament. Akenten will join a talented core of players that includes Jaden McDaniels, Isaiah Stewart, and Quade Green. With Akenten in the mix, the Huskies now have one of the most talented teams in the Pac-12 and could be a force to be reckoned with come tournament time.
Akenten’s signing is also a major boost for the Huskies’ recruiting efforts. With Akenten on board, the Huskies can now boast of having one of the top recruiting classes in the country. This could be a major draw for other top prospects looking to join the program and could help the Huskies land even more top talent in the future.
