It makes sense that he'd play where he has family. You'd probably be saying the same if he went to Memphis. Adria isn't the player that either of his brothers were at this stage. Many don't see him as NBA material, even with those bloodlines. If anything it just gets that NBA connection... and some free/good press... which I'm sure Howland will gladly accept. Maybe he sticks and Pau will show up to a couple games. Could be a late bloomer, no harm with the walk on.

if i weren't a very good basketball player (by high-major standards) and would make a high-major squad only by being a walk-on, you better believe that i would choose a school near where my rich older brother lives, which happens to be next door to beverly hills, santa monica, and malibu. adria will undoubtedly have the best quality of life of any college basketball player who gets almost no playing time.

Shocking:slappy:

CBSSports.com has confirmed that the NCAA has been investigating three of UCLA's highly touted freshmen.

Shabazz Muhammad, Kyle Anderson and Tony Parker, a trio of Ben Howland recruits who the Bruins are hopeful will take them back to national relevance, have all been the target of the NCAA over the last few months.

The news was first reported by the UCLA site of Scout.com.

CBSSports.com wrote about Muhammad and his connections to a pair of financial advisors back in February. However, the NCAA is also concerned about the recruitments of both Anderson, a 6-foot-7 1/2 point forward from New Jersey, and Parker, a big man out of Georgia.

Muhammad wasn't allowed to play on the team's recent trip to China while both Anderson and Parker were cleared to play

Some douchebag from some douchey band.

Hey, dip[Mark May]. I think it's already been proven that you can't get Shabazz Muhammad for free.

Ha. Not a fan of the Chili Peppers?

I do have a distaste for the "Free [insert name of someone who did something wrong]" shirts and campaigns. In most cases they can go to a different league for the same sport and do exactly what they're being prevented from doing by the NFL or NCAA. Shabazz might be wise to over to Europe and earn some cash if he's not going to be able to play in the NCAA. He's not going to UCLA for the degree anyway.

Not to disagree with you but a lot of guys go to college for the same reason that is bolded.
