Emmanuel Akot | Junior Guard/Forward | Boise State
Formerly Of: Arizona (PAC-12)
Measurables: 6-8 203 lbs
Past Stats: 3.8 PPG 2.8 RPG & 1.1 APG in 17 games (11 starts) in 2018-2019
Akot has the potential to be the next great Boise State wing with great athleticism and length. He was a former five-star recruit out of high school and saw decent minutes at one of the best programs in the country in his last season in Tuscon, almost twenty a game. Though he never could materialize his production into a full-time role with the Wildcats, which aided his decision for that position elsewhere.
But after a long saga of appeals to the NCAA for a waiver to play immediately in Boise last season, Akot can finally hit the court in the fall and should make an impact on a very different looking but experienced transfer heavy starting lineup for the Broncos.
Mladen Armus | Junior Post | Boise State
Formerly Of: East Tennessee State (SOCON)
Measurables: 6-10 230 lbs
Past Stats: 8.0 PPG 7.7 RPG & 1.4 APG in 33 games (24 starts) in 2018-2019
The big Serbian comes from a very respected East Tennessee State Buccaneers program, under the tutelage of one time New Mexico head coach candidate Steve Forbes. Though Forbes has moved on to the ACC to coach the Demon Deacons, Armus averaged a solid 7.7 RPG in quality minutes on a 3rd place SOCON team. He should be counted on right away, even among a much deeper and taller Bronco front court than that of last season, with his experience at this level of play along with an added year of development in Boise.
