According to multiple sources, 7-foot-2 John Riek is en route to the Winchendon School. He may have also sped up his route to the NBA.

Riek, a Sudan native who spent this past season as a sophomore at Our Savior New American (N.Y.), has left the Long Island school and is expected to begin classes at Winchendon (Mass.) early next week.

Riek was the most dominant player at Nike's Lebron James Skills Academy this past July and is a likely lottery pick - and could even be the No. 1 overall pick.

This is a huge turn of events because Riek could be eligible for this June's NBA Draft now that he's considered a post-graduate instead of a high school senior.

Riek told FOXSports.com that he spent three years in high school in Ethiopia. When he arrives at Winchendon, he will be classified as a post-graduate. An international player must turn 19 during the calendar year of the draft and according to Riek's birth certificate and passport (both of which have been obtained by FOXSports.com), he will turn 19 a year from November.

"When we reviewed his records, we have a diploma stamped from a high school in Ethiopia saying he graduated," Winchendon coach Mike Byrnes told FOXSports.com. "If John does come here, he's coming as a post-graduate and not to get his high school diploma."
