 Greenwich Time: Majok Majok's career with Fairfield University is over before it even began.
Majok, the 6-foot-8 forward from Northfield (N.H.) Mount Hermon High School who gave Fairfield a verbal commitment in the spring, did not meet the requirements for eligibility and therefore will not play for the Stags in the 2010-11 season.
"He did not qualify as per NCAA regulations for Division I basketball," Stags head coach Ed Cooley said Tuesday afternoon after his team went through a 45-minute workout at the Walsh Athletic Center. "He's a non-qualifier and therefore, (Fairfield) cannot accept a non-qualifier. With these new rules, you're either eligible or you're not. He's not."

 Delaware Online: Mark Medley will head into his senior year of high school with his college plans set. The standout boys basketball player at Tatnall School has verbally committed to accept a basketball scholarship offer from Rider University.
He made his decision Friday, three days after a visit to the campus in Lawrenceville, N.J.
"I just visited the school and I just loved everything about the campus, loved the coaches and loved what they were about," Medley said Monday afternoon.
Medley (5-foot-10) led Tatnall last season with 18.7 points, 8.3 rebounds and 1.5 blocks per game as the Hornets went 19-5 and lost in the semifinals of the state tournament to eventual runner-up Dover. Medley earned second-team All-State honors and also averaged 3.0 steals and 2.0 assists per game.

 Niagara Gazette: The majority of Niagara fans will never get to see how good Austin Cooley could’ve been.
Cooley, a 6-foot-5 swingman entering his junior season, has been dismissed from Niagara University, men’s basketball coach Joe Mihalich confirmed Friday.
Citing privacy concerns, Mihalich would only say that Cooley failed to fulfill his responsibilities as a student-athlete.
Cooley dazzled teammates and practice observers in his two years with the Purple Eagles, using his combination of length, quickness, leaping ability and shooting range to, at times, look like the best player on the floor.
