Majok Removes Name From Draft

UConn was shocked this past April when it was announced that highly anticipated basketball recruit Ater Majok, who had already been on campus preparing for the 2009-2010 season, declared for the NBA Draft. Today, Majok has officially removed his name from the draft to become eligible to play for the Huskies this upcoming season. While the UConn community can breathe a slight sigh of relief, Majok's future is still uncertain. In an interview with Mike Anthony of the Hartford Courant, Jim Calhoun said Majok is still considering playing professionally in Europe for a year before coming back to the States to play in the NBA. As the season approaches there will certainly be more information as to what Ater decides to do, but the chances of him putting on a Connecticut jersey this season seems to have gotten just a bit better.
