Ucla’s Jabbar Undecided

Faced with the biggest decision of his life, UCLA tailback Karim Abdul-Jabbar knows he is nearly down to the two-week warning. And there is no way to stop the clock.

So even though he is in Hawaii, concentrating on healing his in jured ankle in preparation for today’s Aloha Bowl against Kansas while also trying to enjoy the sights and sounds of Honolulu, Abdul-Jabbar can’t put aside his impending decision on whether or not he’ll forgo his final year of collegiate eligibility and turn professional.

One thing seems certain: UCLA’s rushing leader will not be rushed.

“I’ll probably wait,” he said, “right up to the (Jan. 10) deadline.”
