All season long it looked like Londonderry High School senior Ryan Griffin was headed for the University of New Hampshire to play wide receiver next fall.

But after sizing him up on film and during a recent basketball practice, the University of Connecticut has landed the athletic, 6-foot-6, 220-pounder.

"I don't think they took him for a particular positon,'' Londonderry boys basketball coach Jim Zorbas said. "They just saw him as a great athlete.''

Griffin played football for three years at New Hampton Prep, but left when the program was de-emphasized, returning to his hometown to play football his senior year.
