More Majok, no Kansas
I spoke with Edward Smith, Ater Majok's coach, and they are both in Connecticut on an official visit to UConn, which is beginning today.
"After the visit here, we will sit down and talk and decide what to do, and if Ater takes one more visit,'' Smith said. "If the Connecticut visit didn't meet expectations, or if Ater did not feel perfect about it, we could visit UCLA on our way back."
Smith said he will remain in Rhode Island during the weekend before the duo travel back to Australia. Majok, a 6-foot-9, 215-pound center from the American International School, already visited Baylor, Maryland and Kentucky.
"We haven't been in contact with Kansas," Smith said. "(UCLA assistant) Scott Duncan made a push, so he would be in line for the fifth visit."
About Inside UCLA
This is Brian Dohn's fifth season covering UCLA after spending 4 1/2 years covering the Dodgers for the Daily News and other Los Angeles Newspaper Group papers. He graduated from Rutgers, where the first college football game was played in 1869. Sure, the Scarlet Knights suffered for a long time, but now RU is doing what Jerseyans always thought was possible. Winning at Rutgers also proves winning is possible everywhere else in the nation, so underachieving coaches better be careful. Now, if only men's hoops can turn it around.
