However, with UCLA expected to challenge for a national title, Collison said he wasn't going to discuss the possibility of leaving early.</p> </p> "I don't buy into that," Collison said. "I'm enjoying my college experience. I don't need to think about it. Personally, we've got so much going for us, as a team. I just feel that for somebody to think about something else, other than the season, it would be a distraction." -- <font color="#000000">Los Angeles Daily News</font></p></div></div>
