    Share Zagsblog Share Zagsblog
    Atermajok3_14100Ater Majok, a 6-10 forward originally from Sudan, made an oral commitment to UConn after visiting campus last week, according to the Hartford courant.

    A native of the Sudan via Australia, Majok joins guards Kemba Walker of Manhtattan Rice, Scottie Haralson (Jackson, Miss.), Nate Miles (Toledo) and center Charles Okwandu of Harcum (Pa.) College in UConn’s class.

    Justin Young of Rivals wrote of Majok:

    “He’s a versatile and skilled 6-foot-10 forward who proved his mettle at the adidas Derby Classic. Majok makes his debut in the Rivals.com rankings as a five-star prospect and is one of the most coveted prospects in the class of 2008.”

    With center Hasheem Thabeet returning for his junior season, the Huskies have only four scholarships to give. One current player would have to transfer to fit all five players on the roster.
