Drew Gordon update
I spoke to UCLA power forward Drew Gordon the other day, and he said his ailing foot was doing fine. He is playing in the men's gym, but not as much as some of the other players because UCLA wants him to take it easy and not push his foot too hard.
In watching him in the few games I saw, nothing stood out as he just floated up and down the court. He said he anticipates being ready well in advance for practice and isn't experiencing pain in his foot, which he broke late in his senior season.

About Inside UCLA
This is Brian Dohn's sixth season covering UCLA after spending 4 1/2 years covering the Dodgers for the Daily News and other Los Angeles Newspaper Group papers. He graduated from Rutgers, where the first college football game was played in 1869. Sure, the Scarlet Knights suffered for a long time, but now RU is doing what Jerseyans always thought was possible. Winning at Rutgers also proves winning is possible everywhere else in the nation, so underachieving coaches better be careful. Now, if only men's hoops can turn it around.
when you say "nothing stood out" do you mean the pain or his play?
Sounds good to me! I'm glad he's not going full out. We don't need another Roll mishap.
Go Drew, the only thing that matters is to be ready for the PAC-10 opener. Take your time.
