That Devil Malcolm

John Carroll senior Malcolm McMillan has decided to continue his basketball career at Central Connecticut State University, as first reported by the Baltimore Sun.

McMillan is a 6-foot senior combo guard for the Patriots, who play in the MIAA-A League. He gave a non-binding verbal commitment to the Blue Devils of the Northeast Conference over other NEC schools St. Francis (PA) and Mount St. Mary's. McMillan was also considering Arkansas-Pine Bluff and UNC Wilmington.

John Carroll head coach Tony Martin said in a statement that McMillan reached the decision after visiting the New Britain, CT, campus.

"He left with a better understanding of what it will take to succeed at the next level on and off the court, while planning to lead this young group during his last high school campaign here in the 2010–11 season," Martin said in the statement.

McMillan will get to face former Patriot players Raphael Jordan and Erick Smith, who play at Bryant University, also of the NEC.

The Patriots open their season Nov. 20, when they host Friends.
