It's safe to say UCLA's 2009/10 season hasn't begun according to plan. Thus far, the Bruins are 2-4, with losses to four mid-majors (Cal-State Fullerton, Portland Butler and Long Beach State). Yikes.
Now, according to the Los Angeles Times, third-leading scorer and former top recruit Drew Gordon has decided to transfer.
UCLA center Drew Gordon has left the UCLA basketball team and will transfer at the end of the third quarter.
Gordon was a starter averaging 11.2 points and 5.3 rebounds.
"This is not a spur-of-the-moment thing," Coach Ben Howland said.
Howland announced the news at his weekly press conference on Tuesday.
Gordon came to UCLA hoping to get immediate playing time last season, but received just 11 minutes a game and had trouble adapting to Howland's philosophy. This season, Gordon is third on the team in scoring, but is still just fifth on the team in minutes played at 24.6 a game.
No word yet on Gordon's eventual destination, but it appears that he was never a good fit for UCLA's style of play.

Drew Gordon Left UCLA
Rumor has it Drew had been on the phone with his buddy Solomon Hill in Tucson asking for Sean Miller’s Cell Phone number. Seems he would rather play at McKale than Pauley. Wonder if Sean will answer? I wonder where Ben H. will be next year?
