Majok on board

UConn picked up a major commitment Monday afternoon when Ater Majok called the Huskies to say he was coming to Storrs next season.
Majok is a 6-foot-9 forward originally from the Sudan who now lives in Australia. He finished an official visit to UConn just last week.
Numerous schools had interest in Majok, though he ultimately chose UConn over Kentucky.

Hasheem staying

UConn center Hasheem Thabeet will return for his junior season, the school announced Sunday. The 7-foot-3 junior had been considering a leap to the NBA.

“I am excited about the opportunity to stay at UConn and continue the mission that we started this season,” Thabeet said. “I also want to thank my family and close friends for all their help and support. As a team, we took a step in the right direction this year, but I look forward to us working together to win a Big East championship and making a run at a national championship.”

And we’re back!

Sorry for not blogging much…not a lot of news.

One tidbit from today’s Blue White Game at Rentschler Field (spring game): Tackle Mike Hicks will not play and will not be allowed to participate in any team activities for two weeks.

He’s not suspended technically, a UConn official said, but he is being punished.

No word yet on what the infraction was.
