A Canadian Husky?
UConn has its sights set on a new recruit -- 6-foot-10 JUCO center Jamie Vanderbeken of Belleville, Canada. Vanderbeken is in his second year at Tyler Junior College in Texas.
The Huskies view Vanderbeken as a target, particularly if Hasheem Thabeet decides to go to the NBA. But Vanderbeken won't be the shot-blocking force that Thabeet is. Rather, he's a skilled offensive player who can step out and shoot the 3-pointer.
UConn hopes to get Vanderbeken to Storrs on a visit the weekend after the Final Four (April 12-13). The following weekend, Ater Majok is expected to make an official visit to UConn after playing in a tournament in Kentucky. Majok is a 6-foot-9 forward with about a 7-foot-4 wingspan.
Finally, UConn commit Scottie Haralson is trying to make his official visit to Storrs this upcoming weekend.

didnt he sign with Iowa like in 2005?
Yes, but he didn't get through the Clearinghouse so he went the JuCo route.
