Glad to read that the Daily News is reporting that AV is staying at UCLA for his senior year.  This is great news.  I love the guy, and have always loved him since he arrived at UCLA.  Next year, he will be a "shut-down" corner, maybe one of the best in the country.  On the other side, we have some great youngsters (Dye, Hester, and others) competing for that spot, and it will be a battle in the spring, right up until the opening game.  To be honest, that other side of the ball will be much improved next year.  Our secondary will be tight next year, with Moore solidifying the safety position with a great frosh campaign.  With Reggie coming back, Price in the middle, as well as the Bosworth's, I really think this defense has a chance to be one of the best in the Pac-10.  Without AV, it would have been hard.  Thanks AV, we love the fact you are staying.

Also, just as a note...........Scott Wolf (SUC beat guy) reported on his blog that word around South Central is that Sanchez is going to announce either tomorrow or Thursday that he is turning pro.  That is great newws.  Whether you think he is great or not (much debate), it is always nice when your rival has to break in a new QB.  Because they have a new offensive staff, having Sanchez around would have solidified things.  Breaking in a new QB will not be easy for them.

Regarding Hasiak, something tells me we got a great shot.  I saw a quote from him saying the "UCLA campus is alot nicer than Cal's" and he "loved UCLA".  Apparently he thinks we are a few years away from competing for the PAC-10 title, and thinks Cal is ahead of our program right now......which it is.  Something tells me CRN may be able to revive the image to Stan and sell him on coming to Westwood.  If not, we'll move on and wish him well.  I have faith that we'll make our best effort.
