Hasheem Thabeet will stay at UCONN for next season as I previously said in a post yesterday. This is good news for us here in Huskyland as we will get to witness another season of shot blocking. Hopefully he works on his free throw shooting in the off-season. If he was smart, he would befriend Mel Thomas and have her teach him the art of free throw making.

“I am very excited about next season and returning to UConn for my sophomore year,” said Thabeet. “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. I would also like to express my appreciation to all my fans and those who have taken interest in my career here at UConn. I want to especially thank my fans in Tanzania who continue to send me volumes of letters of support. I am glad I can be a role model figure to the youth in Tanzania, many of whom do not have the opportunities that I have been given.”
