He added former wing Josh Shipp walked Friday and then took off for Oklahoma City for a workout
As, wing Michael Roll, who is returning to UCLA for a fifth season, also walked in the graduation ceremony.
Congratulations to Darren, Josh and Michael on their graduation. Watching Darren slice and dice his way to the hoop and Josh's persistence and knack for hitting some big shots will be remembered for a long time.
Along with Alfred Aboya we maybe watching the end of
an era where kids allow themselves the opportunity to grow as individuals into men and develop their full potential as student atheletes.
Your parents and families should all be very proud of you.
as bummed as i am about jrue leaving too early, i am as proud about the great group of roll, aboya, shipp, and collison getting it done on court and classroom. reason number 1 why i am proud of UCLA tradition
Overall, you have to be pleased with the progress of the program in terms of academics.
Mike, DC and Lorenzo earned their degrees in 4 years.
Alfred was in grad school by his 4th year.
Arron and Luc both were a few classes short of their degrees by the end of their junior years.
Even Jrue appears to have completed 4 quarters of school during his stay at UCLA.
And for the other kids who left early? It doesn't suck playing in the NBA getting paid millions.
