Wings' Justin Jenkins gives his word to Fairfield University.

Brian Branch Pace for New York Daily News

Wings' Justin Jenkins gives his word to Fairfield University.

The thought of playing college basketball didn’t occur to Justin Jenkins until his sophomore year of high school.

But without any college offers to speak of through his junior season at Wings Academy, Jenkins had doubts.

Those worries quickly dissipated during his senior year, when he finally cracked the starting lineup and raised his profile. That’s when the offers started to come in.

On Monday, Jenkins verbally committed to Fairfield, ending one of the more unique college recruitments for a city standout.

Jenkins, who also strongly considered Florida Atlantic, said he will be the first from his family to attend college when he heads off to the MAAC school in the fall.

“There was a time when I was a little worried, about not getting a scholarship,” said Jenkins, who will be teammates at Fairfield with Cardinal Hayes power forward Amadou Sidibe. “But I always remained confident that it would happen.”

Jenkins, a 6-2 guard, led Wings to the PSAL Class AA semifinals after averaging 17 points and seven assists in the regular season.

“It just took a little while,” Jenkins said of his recruiting process. “But I’m happy with my choice and it’s an exciting time in my life right now.”

Season in Bruins: Year comes to disappointing end for Rangers

NYC PAPERS OUT. Social media use restricted to low res file max 184 x 128 pixels and 72 dpi

The Garden officially can go dark for summer renovations now, as the high-priced Rangers mirrored the Knicks in getting unceremoniously bounced in the second round of the playoffs. John Tortorella’s team scored two or fewer goals for the eighth time in 12 games this postseason, and Henrik Lundqvist couldn’t bail out the Blueshirts.

Braves blank Mets in second game, 6-0

The Mets needed to play just 11 innings to lose two games on Saturday at Citi Field. Their slide down the standings has all the trimmings of a free fall right now after five straight losses.

Myers: Sanchez throwing away his last shot

If Mark Sanchez doesn't limit his turnovers, he'll be looking over his shoulder at Geno Smith after every interception.

Mark Sanchez was in midseason form at one of the Jets’ practices last week, throwing three interceptions in 15 snaps, including one to a defensive lineman, which has become his specialty.

Raissman: Ballgame over for Ma & Pa?

Is the nine-year honeymoon between John Sterling, Suzyn Waldman and the Yankees nearing its end?

The Yankees’ contract with WCBS-AM, another one-year deal, expires following this season. So does Ma and Pa’s one-year contract. While all interested parties are talking about a possible deal, the radio situation is up in the air.

The Score: Cohen's day, play-by-play

Gary Cohen arrives at Citi Field at 3 p.m. for a 7:10 start, but his day starts long before that.

Cohen is in the midst of his 25th season as a Mets play-by-play broadcaster, his eighth as the team’s television play-by-play man. And every day he amazes his colleagues with his diligence.

Bayern Munich beats Dortmund in Champions League final

Arjen Robben, who scored the game-winner, reacts to his team's win after the final.

Arjen Robben scored in the 89th minute Saturday to give Bayern Munich a 2-1 win over German rival Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League final, ending four years of frustration for his team in Europe’s biggest tournament.

McNamee bracing for a civil war with Clemens

Brian McNamee’s long legal war with Roger Clemens is far from over, and he says he is too busy preparing for the lawsuit he filed in Brooklyn federal court in 2009 — which claims that Clemens defamed him when he accused the trainer of lying and manufacturing evidence regarding the Rocket’s alleged doping — to dwell on the past.

PHOTOS: Rangers season ends in 3-1 loss to Bruins

Lundqvist stopped 29 shots, but the Bruins still proved to be too much to handle for the Blueshirts, defeating them 3-1 and ending the series in five games.
