[Update x 7: Coffee Is For Closers!!] UCLA Signing Day Open Thread: Closing Out The Afternoon
by Nestor on Feb 3, 2010 11:25 AM PST
in Recruiting
Email
PrintAll right guys. Time for a quick reset because our comment threads are filling up fast. Gotta love the energy flowing through BN!
We have 18 recruits in. So far today we have picked up Zumwalt. He is a big get. We got stung by Heimuli but we are still well positioned to finish with very good class. Here again are the announcement times:
- 11:30 am- Owamagbe Odighizuwa, ESPNU
- 12:00 pm- Anthony Jefferson, FS Prime Ticket
- 1:30 pm- Dietrich Riley, ESPNU
- 12:35 pm- Josh Shirley, FS Prime Ticket
I will just echo Achiles who noted in the comment thread:
Our class is going to be far and away better ranked than our season. Considering our record the past two years (don't forget everyone, these kids started looking at schools when we had just 4 wins) - this class is outstanding. Coupled with last year's class - we will be dangerous a year or two down the line.
Now let's get more guys in a brand new thread. GO BRUINS.
UPDATE (N): Just like that Owa chooses to become a Bruin emphasizing family and academics (HT TheTJCummingsEra):
Perhaps one of the greatest signing day moments for UCLA football. GO BRUINS.
UPDATE (N): Highlights of as Huffman terms it perhaps one of most pivotal defensive recruiting get for UCLA football since Brian Price:
Welcome to Westwood Owa. GO BRUINS.
UPDATE III (N): Bruins jump to number 10 in Scout.com rankings. GO BRUINS.
UPDATE IV (N): Bruins also jump to number 9 in Rival.com rankings. Can we jump higher? GO BRUINS.
UPDATE V (N): Rick Neuheisel's Bruins drop another bomb. Josh Shirley is a Bruin!!!!! GO BRUINS.
UPDATE VI (N): Video for signing day ... once again for UCLA:
Always be closing. Coffee is for closers. If somehow Bruins manage to get both Jefferson and Riley, it would amount to total PWNing of the Trojans in LA. GO BRUINS.
UPDATE VII (N): Another afternoon bomb for the Bruins. Anthony Jefferson picks UCLA.

What a great represenative for UCLA
I’m very proud to have a kid like Owa come to UCLA for the right reasons. Academics, life after football, and of course football. Looks like a future leader to me.
Academics
If he had chosen Nebraska or OSU over UCLA for academics, I would have thrown out my diploma.
To be fair to Nebraska
I remember reading somewhere that Nebraska is ranked #2 in the country in the major he was looking at.

Remember Coach Neuheisel's recruiting speech
in the press room at the Rose Bowl with all the kids and their moms and dads. He said “This is the table I sat at when I was MVP of the Rose Bowl after walking on at UCLA. And this is where you (pointing at a kid) or you (pointing) or you can be sitting when you’re talking to the press after you’re the MVP.” Or words to that effect.
Couldn't stop thinking of the
Dave Chappelle show skit….“Wrap it up, B”
seriously
i mean, I jumped out of my seat. I bet neu jumped out the window and did a dance.

homework for everybody here
Everyone must learn how to pronouce Owa’s name. His full name.
And thank his mom whenever any of us see her at the Rose Bowl.
Owa will be the next dreadlocked Bruin to do this to a SC QB

YESSSSSSSSSSS
WOOHOOOO….i felt like i was waiting for medical school acceptance…HAHA…
Before I could get the sound off
I heard that bonehead say that Coach Neuheisel never had that kind of a guy before. I guess he was unaware of a guy named Brian Price.
And that, ladies and gentlemen, is why I keep the sound off.
He said a player
that COach Neu recruited himself. Brian came under Dorrell
"I can't believe I ate the whole thing" Homer Simpson
Indeed.
Win over the parents, win over the student. When he was saying how much of an influence his mom is in his life, I thought he’d want to stay closer to home.
The speech was worth it
Wow what a moment , cant wait for spring practice to start!
Made the decision a while ago
He just said he’s been keeping it a secret.
greg in denver - UCLA guy for life
let the good news roll
c’mon jefferson…..join mr. Owa and put that UCLA hat on.
light years in how articulate he is
compared to all the other guys on today. inctredibly humble, smart, and classy kid. oh and he is a beast on the field.

This has been a consistent thread with UCLA athletes

Owa almost committed in December

I didn't even know we were in the running until recently.
I am so jazzed right now. After he announced his decision and started talking about why he made that decision, I started to water up. WOW, what a recruiting class. We ain’t done yet….
Go Bruins!!!
I literally had to restart my computer
Because of all the traffic. Good job guys! Well worth it!
Wow ! How Great is That !
Made my day ! Go Bruins !
Really
The difference between Coach Neuheisel and the guy before him is night and day. And its not just the players. Remember during the Reign of Error, our alleged coach announced that he had solved all our offensive woes by getting the guy who would take us to the top – Debra Norville, or something like that. Coach Neuheisel just calmly signs Norm Chow.
CTS would not even have bothered talking to half these guys.
So
now on to Prime Ticket for the next announcement at noon!
"The entire world that bleeds blue and gold ... they have been dying for this." - Coach Rick Neuheisel
Now
Pierson’s report of Riley calling Owa this morning could be a good sign!
"The entire world that bleeds blue and gold ... they have been dying for this." - Coach Rick Neuheisel
owa + datone = PAIN
lets get some big bodies to stuff the run, and we’re set
It's a win for Dorsey too
a real coach and a real university
But hey, what do I know. I’m just the 800 lbs bruin in the room.
For fellow exiles
Prime Ticket will apparently be streaming Anthony Jefferson’s choice (and having other UCLA and u$c* coverage) at noon PST on
http://foxsportswest.com/pages/live_streaming
(no promises, but I think that’ll work)
Some excerpts from Rivals.com (non-sub) profile on Owa
Most Impressive: At only 234 pounds, I have seen him sink his hips and drive 300-pound linemen straight back into the pocket like a rag doll. He is also one of the nicest and most coachable players in the country.
Conclusion: Has the potential to become one of the best players ever from the state of Oregon. Barring any serious injuries, he is one of the surest bets for future NFL stardom in the class of 2010.
formerly bruinhoo
Hadn't noticed Charles Arbuckle as an analyst on ESPNU
good to see a bruin there to rep us a little
Another winner
Welcome Owa-you seem to have your priorities straight in citing academics as a consideration in his choice.Given that there is no other choice. ESPN will always push $UC as they employed Shellet Smith and utilize PlaSChke. Maybe now I can get something done.(Zumwalt is also a class kid who is tough as nails)
Owa IS A CLASSY YOUNG MAN
Well Spoken. Goal-Oriented. Academically Focused. Sought Long Term over Short Term, leverage UCLA degree for his future. WOW I am impressed by his MATURITY. Mutually good fit for us and him. Welcome to the Bruin family Owa!!!
Pac-10 is doing ridiculous this year.
It’s been mentioned before, but Tosh Lupoi over at Cal seems to be helping Tedford compile a pretty amazing class. Incidentally, I don’t know too much, but Ted Miller at tWWL doesn’t have UCLA as one of Shirley’s options at this point.
Go Bruins!

This whole day brings up an interesting concept
What gets fans more excited? Actual wins or potential for greatness? I’ve always found it interesting that in so many sports, offseason moves almost overshadow the championship. Sure, the champion always gets it’s few days of glory but the rest of the world is busily talking about the offseason and signings, recruits, etc.. Out of curiousity – people here seemed extremely excited about Owa, as was I. How would you compare that excitement to a UCLA win?
i'm excited
because i see great things happening down the line. but i would take a win any day. i think oregon state fans can agree with that.

Recruting/offseason

Owa
Bill Tucker on Owa in the espn live chat:
“I know we’re in Big Ten mode, but I wanted to drop this one Pac-10 nugget: UCLA landed a potential difference-maker on defense with the pick up Odighizuwa. He will need to add some bulk to help him anchor the run at the next level but his speed and quickness off the edge is excellent and he is the type of defensive that needs to be blocked on every play. A great pickup for the Bruins as they continue to show they can recruit top national prospects.”
UCLA '08
So..
… what’s up with Jefferson? Is his announcement happening now? I can’t watch from here.
nope
couldn’t qualify academically if i remember correctly. Either way he went to Arizona instead

excellent point
mixing in Smith and Fauria with Pressley, Carroll, Thigpen, etc, anxious to see how much Chow can open up the playbook and utilize the talent.
Oh Man! What a great speech Owa!!!
So impressed by this young man; HE GETS CRN’s VISION!!! HE GETS IT!!!!
I have not been thrilled with the general hat ceremony nonsense
but Owa made it mostly about an opportunity to thank people, and talked nicely about all three schools; rather than about self-aggrandizement. Totally opened my eyes.

Agree
This entire NSD process, glorifying HS KIDS (emphasis KIDS) is redonkulous. Owa puts all of them others to shame!
AND he's concerned with his education
so not only will we probably have a four-year player, but he’ll come out with a legit education for when he decides football is done.
Yes! Looking at Long Term ...
…. Education …. Impact on His future 40 years down the road … WHOA What other 17/18 year old talks that way? Sounds like he got good parenting from Momma … Can’t replace that!! SO EXCITED WHEN DOES CFB Season START?
