UCLA basketball Coach Ben Howland said Tuesday that redshirt junior Josh Shipp will return for his final season of college eligibility. Shipp, who has had surgeries on each of his hips over the last three years, announced after the season that he would explore leaving school early for a professional career. His return means UCLA will have at least two senior starters back from its 2008 Final Four team. Point guard Darren Collison announced in April that he also would return for his senior season. Howland expects backup center Alfred Aboya will be back for his senior season as well. Aboya had said he might skip his final year of basketball eligibility to concentrate on post-graduate education.

Way to think things thru Josh. Get on board for the big year. Tell Mbah a Moute to get his head outta of the clouds too.

Unfortunatley for this kid- he's had WAY too many injuries......
no way he would be drafted with that......

Enjoy your last year of school, stay healthy-
maybe you get a 2nd round pick next year

Recovering from TWO hip surgeries is a great way to start an NBA career.

A DUI or two would be icing on the cake!

He will have his best year for sure. He, DC and Aboya will be the leaders and our new kids will finally give us the raw athleticism to get us over the hump!
