USA Today -
Center Hasheem Thabeet will return to UConn for his sophomore season instead of declaring for the NBA draft.
The 7-foot-3 native of Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, talked with coach Jim Calhoun before making his decision.
"I am very excited about next season and returning to UConn for my sophomore year," Thabeet said in a release. "I look forward to continuing my education as a person and as an athlete. We have all been working very hard since the season ended and will continue doing everything we can to get better each day and have a great season next year." [READ]
It's a solid decision. I think by next year he will be prepared to be a player who will be able to dominate games at times with increased strength and skill training. With Hibbert and Gray gonzo, Thabeet will give Uconn a hUGE advatage in the middle--now the other guys need to step up.
