Jrue Holiday, a 6-foot-4 junior guard at North Hollywood Campbell Hall who is ranked as the No. 2 basketball prospect in the nation by one recruiting service, has narrowed his college choices to UCLA and Washington, his mother, Toya, said Thursday.

Holiday, who led Campbell Hall to the Division IV state championship in March, has remained silent for months about his college plans, but his mother said he told her this week that UCLA and Washington were his final two.

He will be taking an unofficial visit to Washington on June 10. Holiday's brother, Justin, signed with the Huskies last November and will be a freshman this fall. Holiday has yet to make a visit, unofficial or official, to UCLA, but Toya Holiday said she plans to contact Bruins Coach Ben Howland to arrange one.

Washington and UCLA recently engaged in a spirited recruiting battle for 6-9 Drew Gordon of San Jose Archbishop Mitty until the junior announced Monday that he had committed to UCLA.

Holiday is expected to announce his decision later this summer.



This agrees with rumors I've been hearing for a few weeks that Jrue(pronounced Drew) is getting close to announcing.

Rumor has it that it might come down to the school that resists telling him his first name is silly.

I found out yesterday that Broncos RB, the late Damien Nash, has a daughter named Phaith.

Maybe it is just me, but I find that unphortunate.

I have to admit when I first read about him the first question that popped into my head was how can his parents give the older brother the perfectly normal name of Justin, and then call him Jrue?

UCLA is recruiting a 6'10" kid from Texas now whose first name is spelled
J' imison.

ANd here I have the most boring name in history next to maybe ex Pirates catcher Ed Ott.

Whoops J'Mison, see it's so weird I can't even spell it.

Your name for me sounds like something Snoop would say.
