Ater Majok enters draft without agent

HARTFORD, Conn. -- Connecticut freshman basketball player Ater Majok, whose name has come up in recruiting allegations against the school, declared Thursday for the NBA draft.

Majok, a 6-foot-10 forward, said he won't hire an agent and intends to assess where he stands with the NBA and return to school. He has until June 15 to withdraw his name and retain his eligibility.

"I feel it will help me to test the process and get feedback on my strengths and weaknesses," Majok said in a statement released by the school. "It will allow me to get a better idea of what areas in my game need improvement and make me a better player in the future."

Majok, a former refugee from Sudan, is not eligible to play at Connecticut until the end of the 2009 fall semester.

Hey thanks buddy!

You made my day!

That explains why the staff is still pursuing recruits.

PG Jaquon Parker, 6'4'' and 210 lbs. has added UConn to his list.

Kind of odd that the staff is still pursuing guards, while we are so thin at the C/PF spot.

Well lets try to get some discussion going in this thread... who do you guys expect to see starting next year? I see:
Walker
Dyson
Robinson
Oriakhi
Edwards

Does anyone else think Dyson could be an All-American? I think so. He could easily pull off 17/5/5/2.

, that might cost him in the draft.

Haralson to Tulsa.

[UConnCeltics]

With Haralson gone, that leaves room for another recruit this year who is still uncommited (not Lance Stephenson) or an extra one to pursue some of the better players in next year's class.

I love Walker's confidence, and it looks like he will be something special next year.
