DREW'S MYSTERY TO BE
REVEALED SATURDAY:
UCLA
junior running back MAURICE DREW, who spent most of
the team's Sun Bowl victory on the sideline with a minor
shoulder injury, will make the announcement about his
future at a Saturday press conference, which will likely
be held on the campus of De La Salle High School in
Concord, California… the speedy Bruins back has an exceptional
burst in the open field, ideal hands out of the backfield
and was also one of the nation's top return men in 2005...
according to one source close to his family, the 5-foot-8,
205-pound slashing-style running back has received notice
that he currently carries a solid first day grade, possibly
as high as the second round, heading into the final
evaluation stage of the scouting process… the same source
said that he has spent the past few days with his family
reviewing all of his options… to that end Drew was recently
quoted as saying, "(I) spent a lot of time talking about
my future with my grand- father before he passed away,
so I had a great person to confide in… now it is just
about finishing up the season on a winning note and
sitting down with my mom and family to decide what is
best for us"… he's a family-oriented kid, and the passing
of his grandfather would make it difficult for his mother
and grand-mother to attend all of his games next season,
as well.
