Harkless still considering UConn

Connecticut is back in the mix for former Husky commit Maurice Harkless.

After removing UConn from his list earlier this month, Harkless and the Huskies have reconciled their relationship.

“Very much alive,” said Nate Blue, Harkless’ mentor. “Great talks, great talks. We’ll be up there in August.

“They understood where they went wrong and we understand their situation a lot better.”

Harkless, a 6-foot-8 forward who will play at South Kent (Conn.) next season, is also considering Arizona, Memphis, St. John’s, Georgetown, Miami (Fl.), South Florida, Rutgers, Xavier, Virginia, Maryland, Syracuse, Temple, Pittsburgh, Providence and Cincinnati.
