Okay, so much stuff coming out.
Donovan & his girlfriend post on IG photos on them on their trip to DisneyWorld, which is in Florida. You can see from the pictures those structures are the place in Orlando, not the Magic Kingdom that is Anaheim when you spend $2,000 for a day and it's called Los Angeles if you're on the Angels.
So, the picture was posted as proof that Donovan is coming to UCLA. It's not.
But I was told:
Donovan met his girlfriend in high school. They're still together, both enrolled in New Mexico.
They have a quarter to finish.
She's enrolled at UCLA for summer. She's transferring. They haven't broken up.
This source of mine might not have the facts right, but they usually do.
That sounds like Donovan's likely going to come to UCLA too, but maybe they broke up, she's coming back to the "LA area" (she's from Riverside, which is pretty far from LA) and he'll go to Duke or wherever.
But my source says Donovan is coming to UCLA and it should be worked out completely soon and announced.
Again, it's best not to get excited over "clues" on social media.
When a player makes a decision, they announce it somewhere in an official, business-like manner with UCLA or whatever school is involved doing the same, often in an order where the player makes the announcement first because it's cool to let the player be in control of saying, "This is my decision."
They're old enough to vote, serve in the military, etc., and they're old enough to figure out which basketball team they want to play for.
If folks are unhappy that college has OPENLY become more like the NBA, than they're unhappy. I know a lot of players, parents and others who've been outraged for years by the disparity in what coaches and the schools make off of the player's talent, name, image and likeness when the coaches can effectively walk away for a better deal whenever they want, the players are only guaranteed one year of tuition, books, room & board, and the players suffer all sort of penalties if they dared to transfer to another school.
Many players, parents and others felt this economic imbalance created an atmosphere where coaches could emotionally, physically and even sexually abuse players without fear of consequences as the school would always close ranks around the coach, the valued person, or some other authority figure. Being told you're God and that you own your players might lead to extreme behaviors in some.
