Drew II enrolls at UCLA to play one season with Bruins

Larry Drew II, who left the UNC basketball program shortly after losing his starting position to Kendall Marshall, has enrolled at UCLA and will play for the Bruins for one season after sitting out next year.

“We are very excited about the addition of Larry Drew II to our program,” UCLA Head Coach Ben Howland said in a statement from the university. “He is an outstanding player and a really good kid. He is a great person and I think that he will be a great player for the Bruins in his final season of eligibility.”

Drew averaged 4.4 points, 2.3 rebounds and 3.9 assists over 21 games this season for the Tar Heels.

Earlier this month, Drew sang at his birthday party in California putting down the Tar Heels but now he’s being more diplomatic.

“It feels great to be back home,” Drew said in a statement today. “I had a great learning experience at North Carolina and they taught me a lot. I’m looking forward to getting a fresh start at UCLA and I’m happy to be a Bruin. Next year will give me time to focus on my academics and of course, train with the team.”

By the way, this is what is being reported that Drew sang at his party:
“Everything that I’m hearing is untrue. The media? They talking but they never confront you.
I mean the last three years I can’t undo, but now I’m making all the moves I want to.
Pick & rolls, I’m crossing [expletive]. Just felt like I got more game than my height showed.
They tried to tell me just to play my role, but who’s really trying to stick to a script that’s filled with typos?
Like a horror flick, they made me out to be a monster. [expletive] [expletive], I should have won an Oscar.
It ain’t over ’til the fat lady sing, right? I brought the whole opera.
It’s like Biggie, ‘who shot ya?’ But who who shot them? I’m so not them, but in the end I think that’s what really shocked them.
I refuse to be another robot, slim.”
