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.”
