Not like most freshmen?

| | Comments (1) |

Darren Collison talked to the five freshman before UCLA's exhibition game last night, and here's why he did it.
``I want to make them feel as comfortable as possible,'' Collison said. ``I didn't want them to think this was their freshman debut or college debut. I wanted to make them feel as comfortable as possible. I told them, `Let's do the same thing we did during the summer.' When we played with each other in the summer, we were side by side and playing real well. They loved how we were playing together. A player like Jrue and some of the freshmen, it's hard to tell these guys a lot of stuff, because they get it already.''

It's great to see DC step up and be a leader on this team. I think an important factor in UCLA's FF appearances the past three years was our team's leadership... Farmar, Afflalo, Love. Maybe this year it could be DC and Aboya.
