STORRS, CONN. (AP) - The University of Connecticut says freshman basketball player Ater Majok has removed his name from the NBA draft.
Majok, a 6-foot-10 forward, said in April that he planned to use the pre-draft period to assess where he stood with the NBA, but planned to return to school.
UConn coach Jim Calhoun has said there is also a possibility that Majok could leave school and play in Europe.
Majok, a former refugee from Sudan, is not eligible to play at Connecticut until the end of the 2009 fall semester. His name has also been linked peripherally to an NCAA investigation into possible recruiting violations at UConn.
