As VP Cheney said to Senator Leahy
My God! Calling recruits from outside their house

Right, because cal knows football
To the Cal guy...
A bit of a complex, eh?
I would bet you dollars to donuts that we keep at least 16 of the recruits in the current class, and that we replace the ones we lose, if any, with comparable players. Why? If these guys were willing to play for Dorrell and his .560 winning percentage and impotent offense, they'll play for a guy who's gone .680 and scores points.
From the UCLA press release
"I know there are some issues in Rick's past that concern our constituency. We have discussed those at length with Rick and have investigated those issues with the NCAA. It has been at least five years and, in some cases, more than 10 years since the incidents occurred. We believe Rick has learned from those incidents and that he is more mature and experienced in the areas of compliance."
Great News
There is no reason to say we will, except the playing of a race card that reads that an experienced head coach, with great successes, charisma galore, from a superb school can't recruit or hold people of color.
That's crap.
Welcome home RN!!!
Finally!
Yipee!!!!!!1

GOOD SPIN -- 5 years/10 years
The ESPN in-studio B-team also mentioned the 5 and 10 year line. Even Rece Davis, who started the segment on RN's baggage, closed it by saying RN is an aggressive recruiter.
Also, the in-studio panel mentioned that $C ahd reached a saturation point with too much depth ('6 or 7 guys ahead of you') so why not go to UCLA with the exciting new hire with the NFL connections.
I'll admit, RN was NOT my first choice... but he may end up being the BEST choice.
Let's roll with the Neu, Nation!
ROLL WITH THE NEU.
M
Not my first choice either
Let's see if Rick can't turn things around.
waiting for the other shoe to drop
At first I was skeptical of skippy...
GO BRUINS!!!
If Walker Walks...
HOLY EFFING COW ...
IM READY TO SING HELLELUJAH!!!!
Happy Us
DG, I NOW HAVE A MAN-CRUSH FOR YOU!
RN, DOUBLE THAT FOR YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HAPPY NEW YEAR (AND MANY TO COME)!!!!!!!!!!
BruinsNation (and hopefully DD with a new name) will give us all the amo we need against the haters who are sure to surface (especially when we beat them)!
Now the fun will be seeing who we get for OC and DC!
It's like Christmas, and we got to open the big present first, but there's still a few more . . . assistant coaches, recruits, etc.
