It's been a huge 24 hours in Storrs.

First, UConn big man Hasheem Thabeet announced he's definitely returning next year - which makes the Huskies a legitimate Final Four contender.

Then Jim Calhoun & Co. got word earlier today that 6-foot-10, 225-pound power forward Ater Majok committed to UConn. Majok is from the Sudan, but played in Australia - and chose the Huskies over Baylor, Kentucky and Kansas.
