ESPN: Matok's journey
ESPN have run a story on Australian representative and Sudanese refugee Ater Majok as he prepares for his first season of college basketball with University of Connecticut.
"When Majok is eligible after Connecticut's Dec. 9 SEC-Big East Invitational game against Kentucky at Madison Square Garden, the Huskies will have at their disposal a developing, athletic 6-foot-10 forward who should flourish in finishing on the break but will need time to improve his skill in the post.
"I'm going to fill the needs of what Coach wants me to do, work hard, score the ball, block shots, defend and rebound," Majok said. "I can help our defense and bring energy." If he does all that, and there are no more lingering issues with his eligibility, Majok will be worth the wait.
