Player Q&A time
It is time for the player Q&A segment, so send in ONE (YES, ONE) question you would like a player to be asked, and I will post it Thursday.
My goal is to get either Alfred Aboya or Michael Roll, so tailor your question to one of those two guys.

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.About this Entry

What is the biggest difference between this team and last year's team?
There is no way to avoid asking Roll if he has changed hair gels this season and if so how has that contributed to him becoming a more efficient shooter?
OMG...I'm the first poster. What should I ask? Help!!
Alfred, do you think BruinGirl is hot??
Alfred,
Your offensive game and free throw shooting has improved dramatically from last year to this year. What did you do off season to improve this aspect of your game?
Alfred- What does snake taste like?
Micael- Favorite surf spot?
When you're president of Cameron which current or former teammate would make the best vice president and why?
Mike...your hair never moves in a game. What type of hair products do you use? (murrays,aqua net,gel,mouse, 3 flowers, etc)

Roll - You got pretty sweet hair - any tips?
Alfred: What is your most memorable "Los Angeles" experience?

What is it like to be the best player on the court in high school and then come to UCLA and have to ride the pine? What has coach Howland told you that you need to work on in order to get on the court more?
Michael: Is your high three point shoting percentage the result of an innate abilty or practice, practice, practice?
Alfred: Which is more challenging on a day-to-day basis and why - grad school or guarding Kevin Love in practice?
Who on the team could make the Top 12 on American Idol?
to the poster asking about BruinGirl:
BruinGirl is actually a man. he said so and said his name is in honor of his little daughter. now ur confused about ur dreams lol.
Roll: Is it true you are dating a girl from SC? DO you think you are a traitor?
Aboya: How has grad school been while still playing ball?
Q & A should be restricted to persons over the age of 7 and should focus on athletics not hair gel.
alfred: what about cameron do u like better than l.a.?
michael: why does luke walton talk like he does being the son of bill walton, and why do u talk like luke walton being that u grew up in aliso viejo?
alfred, what is your favorite delicasy from cameroon that you don't have the chance having in LA?
"alfred, what is your favorite delicasy from cameroon that you don't have the chance having in LA?"
Snake.
To Michael: who is the better "pure" shooter, you or Nikola?
To AA2: How close were you to leaving UCLA last summer?
(percentage-wise)
Alfred: Do you really want to become the President of Cameroon? If so, what steps do you plan to take to achieve that goal?
Afred: Which is your favorite home-cooked meal? Python, boa, elephant, or giraffe?
Mike: How do you think the extended 3-point line has impacted your game, and the game in general?
Alfred: Do you speak regularly to Luc? If so, what do you talk about? If not, why not?
Michael: Can you dunk the ball?
If you had to ask Dohn one question in this format, what would it be and why?
To both - When you were recruited did Ben Howland ever tell you that Brian Scalabrine would be an Assistant Coach someday?

Alfred, are you as famous in Camaroon as you are in Westwood?
Alfred: can you forsee see basketball gaining popularity in Africa, to the point where national teams can be on par with some of the better European nations?
Alfred: what is the dumbest (most uninformed) question about Cameroon, or Africa, that you've gotten asked since you've been a UCLA?
Have you ever pulled off a prank on Coach Howland?
Michael: have you seen the "I Love Michael Roll" video and how do you feel about it?
Aboya: any chance the goggles make a comeback this year??
Alfred - Do you hope to perhaps play in the olympics in the future? Or any other international basketball if the NBA doesn't work out?
If you are in a shooting slump, how tough is it to keep getting looks in a game so that you can "shoot your way" out of the slump?
Michael: Are you worried your USC girlfriend will destroy UCLA basketball much like DeShaun Foster's did to football in 2001 - ruining his Heisman Trophy run and UCLA's national championship run?
Alfred, now that you're in grad school, do you feel awkward and slimy talking to undergrad chicks?
How does S Cal food compare with your food from Cameroon?
Would your teammates eat your favorite african meal?
Michael Roll has an SC girlfriend?
Alfred - is there any dunk you've had that you would rate better than the one you had posterizing Joakim Noah in the Final Four? Was that inbounds dunk scripted or just on the fly?
Alfred - you are a great role model for young people. Who were your role models as a child?
Michael - Do people ever confuse you with Matt Damon?
Michael, even if your girlfriend is from USC, would you ever push her to the ground?
This one is for Alfred, obviously -
Al, si on voudrais parler le français avec un francophone, mais on ne reussit pas - ça, c'est insultant, n'est-ce pas?
What happenned to the ACE IN THE HOLE?
Dohnster, we need IMMEDIATE clarification on Hasiak and Phillip.
Is it true that Hasiak switched over to Cal and that Phillip is now with Stanford?

Alfred: What author has influenced your political awareness the most?
Michael: If Gordon elbowed your hair, what would hurt more, your hair or his elbow?
I am sad to report that the ACE IN THE HOLE has drawn its last breath and unfortunately was the victim of the minor earthquake last week which crushed the ACE before it could Escape from THE HOLE.
