Signaling his unwavering loyalty, injured quarterback Nico Iamaleava intends to return to UCLA next season rather than enter the NFL draft or seek another school, agent Joe Barnes told the California Post on Thursday evening. The plan for Iamealava is to undergo surgery next week on his torn knee ligaments, Barnes said, with the procedure performed by renowned orthopedic surgeon Neal ElAttrache. The expectation is that Iamealava would be fully recovered by the start of fall training camp.
