Agau began his college career at Louisville in 2013, but transferred to Georgetown — where he earned his degree, but also missed extensive time with injuries. Last season he played at Southern Methodist University, and now is back to Louisville to complete his fourth year of college play.
“He’s had a wild ride, to say the least,” says Mack. “But in Akoy, we felt like if we can get him healthy enough to get through a season, he can help us.”
Especially in the hard knocks world of basketball under the basket.
“He’s a much better player than he was as a freshman, like most guys that are in their later years in college — and he’s in his very, very late years,” says Mack. “He’s seen so many different styles of play and gone up against so many different types of players that I think he’s versatile and adaptable enough to come back here where it all started for him.”
An inspirational comeback story?
“He’s only been here a week, so I’m not going to crown him our leader in a week’s time,” says Mack, with a chuckle. “There’s some guys that have put in an awful lot of hard work since we got here at the end of March — that are about the right things, that are doing the things we want for them to become better players and for us to become a better team.”
