They have an article coming out about rampant drug abuse around the UCLA program. Sounds pretty bad.

You have a link to this info or anything? This should get pretty interesting if true.

The writer's name should sound familiar if you like college scandals...

maybe that's why Josh Smith has failed to lose a pound since he set foot on UCLA's campus.

Wonder if Wear twins are involved. They were big trouble for UNC.

This should be interesting to see the seriousness of the allegations.
Probably won't be anything that is going on now, but we'll see if it effects Shabazz's recruitment.
Supposed to hit stands tomorrow.

Thanks. To be honest though, this should surprise no one. It's LA and these are college kids. I wonder what kinds of drugs they're using? Obvious one is weed, but IMO that isn't all that bad despite the fact they're college athletes. Now if they're using cocaine or the like then they have a major problem.

Lived there, drugs here are the same there. Facts are facts the coaches have a choice keep a clean program or not. Schools can drug test there athletic departments at any time. Sounds to me there ad and basketball coaches turned a blinds eye.

Who the hell uses Cocaine in college? LOL, what is this 1986?
J/K, that just struck me as funny. I have no clue, but I didn't think college kids did cocaine ever these days.

I think this might hurt the Bazz recruitment more than help...I don't think he's going to UCLA with Howland there...if Howland is fired that might change things.

By the time Howland and the AD are gone I think it would be way too late in the game for the replacement coach to convince him. Unless it was someone he already had a relationship with. But I don't see any of those coaches leaving their current jobs to go to UCLA.

It's more common than you would like to think.
