Collison returning to UCLA
Published 4/27/2008 at Hoops on Hoops - NY Daily News Blogs
Another college star has apparently seen the light. UCLA junior point guard Darren Collison has opted to return to school for his senior year instead of turning pro. Collison, who averaged 15.9 ppg and 3.9 apg for a 35-4 team that advanced to a third straight Final Four, sensed he needed another year before entering the NBA draft. He should be on somebody’s pre-season All American team.
Collison will start, but will likely have to share the spotlight in a young, talented backcourt with three incoming freshman stars from the SoCal area - Jrue Holiday, Malcom Lee and Jermine Anderson.
