Spanish center Aday Mara terminating European contract…

Most kids who wash out of the NBA leave college too early because the lure of NBA money is too hard to resist. Had TJ Leaf stayed at UCLA for one or two more years, he might still be in the league.

CMC is a genius for hiring Coach Ivo. He's responsible for this great international class that UCLA is bringing in. NLI isn't such a big deal for top international players because of all the money they've made through their pro contracts. For highly rated high school players, they have their hands out for the best NLI deal. Case in point, Marcus Adams committed to Mick Cronin, but when Kansas doubled UCLA's payout, he broke his commitment and signed with the Jayhawks.
