[Update x4] Coffee Is For Closers: Dietrich Riley Serves Up The Exclamation Point On UCLA's Amazing Signing Day

PrintWell it's official. Rick Neuheisel has topped last year's signing day with another blockbuster recruiting class. Here was the exclamation point from a ridiculous, surreal, amazing afternoon for the Bruin Nation:
Screenshot: Telemachus
He is of course Dietrich Riley, the 4 star safety from Southern California who was a former Trojan commit, who punctuated an incredible day for Rick Neuheisel and UCLA Bruins. For all the talk of CRN just caring about offensive skill positions he has just brought into UCLA one of the most defensive minded athletic class in recent history.
Of course we will have lot more perspective on this. For now watching this video is all we need:
ALWAYS BE CLOSING. COFFEE IS FOR CLOSERS.
Congratulations to Coach Neuheisel, his staff and the entire program for an amazing signing day.
GO BRUINS.
UPDATE (N): Here is the updated here as more LOIs come in. We will leave the chart of signees at the end of the post and update as applicable. What a day. GO BRUINS.
UPDATE II (N): Gold has some very interesting info. on Shirley's flip:
I'm hearing from good sources that as soon as UCLA found out that Hayes Pullard was heading to USC, they put the full-court press on Josh Shirley. I'm told they basically sold Shirley on that spot.
I think that kind of anecdote only confirms the tenacity with which CRN is leading this program. It is already producing unimaginable results on the recruiting trail. His team is making progress in the W-L column. If he keeps improving on this season's record (especially get us a winning record in the Pac-10 next year), UCLA will be in position to do something special both on future signing days and late in the bowl season. That tenacity and competitive spirit will pay off. GO BRUINS.
UPDATE III (N): CRN in a celebratory mood:
What a terrific group of student-athletes, I'm proud to welcome these fantastic young men to our Bruin family.Its a great day to be a Bruin!
Indeed coach. GO BRUINS.
UPDATE IV (N): Riley and Shirley's LOIs are in per UCLA athletics. Official LOI number is at 22. GO BRUINS.

Yet Gold promises one more...
anyone have any idea who it could be? (Other than Henderson, which i seriously doubt)
Has there ever been a player better than Detlef Schrempf?
yeah i cant find anybody
who it could be. could be a total surprise. i have no clue.

Gold said it was Pullard
He was wrong on that one.
I know his recent post was confusing, but he clarified in the chat.
I think we are done. But what a finish!!
wow, improssive
we have a top 10 class.
Rivals 8
Scout 7
Scouts rating is before Riley too
Although Im not sure how much more we could move. MAYBE 6, but probably stay at 7.
FANTASTIC for a 7-6 team, 1 year removed from 4-8.
I'm getting greedy
I want more! But oh well, what we have is great!
No LOIs yet
from Yates, Moore and Jackson (all DLs). Something to keep an eye on.
"I don't forget very much" Rick Neuheisel, 11/28/09
Nope
Pullard is the fellow Crenshaw guy. Jefferson is from Cathedral.

this would be huge...
because all I see is Ohio State or the U for Henderson.
Go UCLA!
A lot of people really think it will be USC
But then, they’ve already been wrong several times today.
Kiffin just upped his bribe multiple times, his only shot to save the day. I hear he is offering the Henderson family a new house (Probably Cheatey Peteys house)
Normally, like Nestor, I don't get worked up about who SC gets...
but dang, I hope they don’t get Henderson

Passion Bucket
Conquest Chronicles has 209 comments in their NSD thread…we’ve blown through about 4-5 threads, or something like that. Who has the bigger passion bucket? WHAT AN INCREDIBLE DAY. Our defense is going to be sick in 2-3 years.
Ohio State has announced their class of 18
No Henderson. He’s a lock for USC.

I doubt they would put him on the list
that would ruin any surprise

CRN
Long time lurker here…..it’s been great to follow NSD today with fellow, passionate Bruin fans! I’d vote for Rick as recruiting coordinator if he wasn’t our head coach! Congrats to him and the whole coaching staff for making us proud – looks like they brought in a quality group of STUDENT-athletes.
Ok this is getting scary...
Umm…I said I’d run naked in the streets if we were top 5 in recruiting…should I start stripping?
But hey, what do I know. I’m just the 800 lbs bruin in the room.

Rivals Radio
The hot topic on Rivals Radio (XMSN on XM Radio) is Rick Neuheisel and what he has accomplished here. The analyst they got on the phone is claiming that CRN is the the single best recruiter in the country, hands down. Better than Meyer and the rest of the bunch.
Hard to argue
considering what he’s done relative to our win/loss record. He’s building excitement from the ground up (thanks a lot CTS)
I forgot who
but whomever is going to Morgan Center this afternoon, can you provide a recap? Thanks in advance.
Just want to say...
what a great pleasure it was to watch NSD with you fellow Bruins!! A very exciting day on the web hitting the refresh buttons lol
So...........
I know we have a tough schedule next year, and many of us were hoping for an 8 win season. My question to the BN community is how dos the great recruiting news of today affect those expectations?
I would still be happy with an 8 win season next year, and since freshman don’t exactly have a big impact in football, I’m not sure how much impact any of these guys will have (although Owa looks like an immediate starter). I do really really really want a beat down of SC though.
I have to believe that this recruiting class is going to bring a lot of enthusiasm.
Hopefully it’s infectious.
I think 8 wins is reasonable
But some are expecting 7 again due to the schedule. This past year we beat the teams we should have, and lost to the teams we should have. I think we should be able to steal two from Oregon, Oregon State, Stanford, Arizona, or $C, while losing to one non conference opponent (most likely Texa$). That makes for an 8 win season.
As mentioned yesterday
We have all freaking off season to talk about this. People should give this a rest and enjoy this day. It has been amazing.
as long as $uc* doesn't get Henderson
I come back from a class and nearly drop a load! So much good stuff has happened!!!!
Three of twitter's trending topics in Los Angeles?
Josh Shirley, Anthony Jefferson, Dietrich Riley.

Outside of the day he was hired,
this is the most pumped I’ve been as a Bruin Football Phan ever.
Gold posted there is one more Major Recruit ?
Can it be Henderson? Shirley’s commitment was some what of a surprise. Can it be Henderson?
nope
Gold already said that the third guy was Pullard. The day is over

New to the List
I’ve been following the list for a few months and finally decided to sign up. This is the most passionate group of people that I have come across. Nestor, you run a wonderful site…Keep it up.
Just a heads up April 24th
Is UCLA spring game. My friends and I had a great time there with a mini tailgate and getting the chance to run around on the Rose Bowl field after the game. Even kicked myself a field goal! haha.
Can’t wait to see the beginnings of our 2010 season!
Been to the last two...
My wife loved the lady bruins 101 event. I hope to see many of you there.
ive been away from my computer for a while
but all i can do is echo everyone else’s thoughts and say UNBELIEVABLE! what a fantastic job CRN did, go bruins
William Doolittle at your service, a.k.a. will do.
not bad, very good for us actually, the star of the class is running back Darryl Fields
the class is definitely an upgrade, and we’re starting to compete with the lower level bcs conference teams which is a good sign. I think next years class will be the biggest upgrade by far, as many of this year’s guys were obviously recruited and locked down before our big statement win over nevada in the hawaii bowl. If our stock continues to rise, the talent level should be really good next year.
William Doolittle at your service, a.k.a. will do.
Good for SMU
Hope things keep progressing well there. I’ve been glad to see them doing well the last couple years. It has been a looooong way back for them, made worse that the clowns downtown have deserved at least a similar fate, yet have skated by the whole time.
greg in denver - UCLA guy for life
thanks, and ya that is extrodinarily frustrating to say the least, $C certainly qualifies for the DP in my opinion.
But I’m really happy to be here as we are finally building the program back up the right way. June Jones is an incredibly wise and talented coach, and hes making the alumni and the fan base believe again. I’d watch out for Kyle Padron our true sophmore quarterback, the nevada game was the first time June allowed him to run the run and shoot with a 5 wide set, and it was absolutely explosive.
I absolutely cannot wait for football, between making the trip down to Austin to see the Bruins and an exciting year ahead for the mustangs, it should be great haha.

3) Celebrate!

Like the other new toejams, I wish them the best…off the field.
On field, I hope they fail miserably (not injured, just fail).
Don't forget Rahim
He ONLY led the NCAA in interceptions last season. Sure hope he doesn’t bolt early, but at least we have plenty in reserve in case he does.
I was envisioning
a front 7 anchored by Owa, Marsh, Zumwalt, AO, and Shirley!
"I don't forget very much" Rick Neuheisel, 11/28/09
Didn't think I could hate sc more
Henderson wants to be 1st pick in the draft prob thinks going to sc where agents hang out in the locker room is a plus. Anybody notice his dad on texting while on live television. Wonder to who maybe those d bags Ogeron and kiffin saying the check cleared. Seriously this kid has been getting recruited for 4 years and sc and there new staff pulls him after a couple weeks. I’m so ecstatic about how we did today just bothers me a little how those a holes across town do everthing the wrong way and continue to get over. Please please drop the hammer and these scumbags. Carrol turned a blind eye to the corruption kiffin and ogeron parade it out in the open. Sorry about the rant don’t want to put a damper on what’s been a great day for bruin football, but man I hate those guys.

Can you guys even grasp how exciting the future of our rivalry is going to be? Owa vs Henderson, Jefferson vs Woods, Shirley vs Grimble, Norm vs Monte, and Rick vs Lane!!!
This is going to be fantastic.
Bruins for life!
You know what's funny
Hollywood wouldn’t even do a good guy/bad guy story like UCLA/USC. USC is just such the stereotypical bad guy that even Hollywood would pass over. It’s pretty sickening. Karma has to exist.
And we have the colors of heaven
while they have the colors of hell.
But hey, what do I know. I’m just the 800 lbs bruin in the room.
wow...rivals has the trogans at 2
and UCLA at #8
that class though is all flash
but no substance
"I can't believe I ate the whole thing" Homer Simpson
What did "Hello Kiffin" say about "SC Kids" and "UCLA Kids"
Does anyone have video? Would love to get a transcript of it.
He didn't say much of anything
That’s why the ESPNU panel reacted by “reading between the lines.” Very clearly, Kiffin doesn’t have a gracious bone in his entire being, not even a disingenuous one. Say what you will about CRN, but in public and on camera at least, he has always been gracious in wishing kids well, even if they wind up signing elsewhere.
Henderson
someone at BruinGold posted that he said something like “some kids want to play for USC and others want to go to that school across town.”
Fits right in amongst the filth at suc.
If that's the actual quote, I appreciate Mr. Kiffin for advertising for us.
We recruit student athletes (students first, right?).
Go Bruins!
play vs. school
This is too perfect if that is the language he used. One team is a football factory the other is a school where students play football. I would love to see a debate between him and Owa. Owa would blow him away intelligence wise just as bad as he did on the field.
someone should remind him that a student athlete from
that school across town planted him on his ass!
I'm sure hes perfectly in tune with this rivalry
being from Minnesota and all.
Sounds exactly like the bullcrap Kiffen spews. Just divisive and moronic crap. No interest in the actual well being of the student-athlete.
So where do we end up in the recruting class rankings?
i know scout and rival are top 10, but ESPN is showing the “under armour” ranking and we didn’t break the top 10…thoughts?
class of '99
Either way, the rankings only tell part of the story...
No matter where we end up in the rankings, this is a GREAT class that fills our needs well and sets the tone for future prospects and better on-field performance. We have momentum and energy in our corner and I, for one, am focused on everything positive about this group of new Bruins.
by DoubleTroubleBruin on Feb 3, 2010 3:18 PM PST up reply actions
Agreed
Don’t get too bogged down in figuring out where our class is ranked overall. Scout, Rivals, and ESPN will all have us in different places because of their ranking systems. Let’s just say we got a very promising group of young men that will hopefully be great Bruins on and off the field.

If you have a twitter and check the trending topics in the city of Los Angeles, it looks like Dietrich Riley’s announcement has made a sizeable splash in the Los Angeles Twitter community. His name shows up as one of the topics being most tweeted about today in Los Angeles right now.
Most of the big name recruits have been.

Damn!
Didn’t know the twitter world was so into college recruiting! haha
Can't Wait till Opening Game! ...............
My wife is a K-State Alum and since we beat them in September, all I’ve heard is the smack about how they are going to avenge their loss. She thinks Bill Snyder walks on water and is the second coming of Jesus himself.
Well I got to tell you, Snyder is the false Messiah! The real Messiah? CNC! He’s the Messiah and Moses all rolled into one. He has led us to the Promised Land, the Land of Milk and Honey.
Now it’s up to Rick, Chuck and Norm to make football players out of these guys. As we have learned in BB, just because a guy is a 5* or 4* playe doesn’t mean he can play the game. Now the work begins!
No offense to KP,RB and the other QB but when are we going to start recruiting stud QB’s? Haven’t had one since Cade.
I'm surprised
not that the Bruins did well today, in fact phenomenal based on their just concluded underachieving season, but CRN knows how to recruit and really did a top notch job for the second year in a row. What is surprising is all those young kids being taken in by Kiffen and Orgeron. If the Trogans really do face some serious sanctions for their football program, which I fully think they will, there are going to be a lot of pissed off 5 and 4 star HS recruits. In addition, the word will go out not to trust these two clowns from that cesspool in dowtown LA. Makes you wonder what was told to these players?
UCLA didn't "underachieve" last season
That’s just not true and we have had extensive discussions laying out how our season this past year met and exceeded pre-reason expectations. Looks up all of our posts discussing expectations on 2009 season. If you are going to offer takes on BN, we’d appreciate you are aware of the previous discussions in the community. THanks.
This is
my opinion, I’m not rehashing previous discussions on BN. UCLA should have beaten Oregon, Oregon St and the Trogans. The fact that they didn’t in MY view makes it an unacieving season and I’m sure the players and coaching staff would agree with this assessment. Get your facts straight, expectations on what is wished are different from actual results.
Great ... that is your opinion
However, it is baseless as shown in exhaustive discussions here on BN. We don’t like it when people come in here and bring up rehashed discussions which has been beaten to death. If you can’t handle that then don’t post here. Read up our rules and what we look for in comments and posts before participating. Otherwise, this is not your playground. If you respond to this message with a snarky attack on the moderator or how we run this place, then you won’t come back here again.
Agreed
everyone is entitled to an opinion. Thanks.
Opinion Yes...But Back It Up With Facts
The mods on this blog have written about 5 million words in the last year about UCLA football. You’ve written about 150. Go study game film, watch all of the scouting videos on EVERY potential player, then monitor the news feeds on EVERY UCLA related story for at least a month. Then come back and write at least 1000 words with verifiable sources and then you can tell Nestor he is wrong. In other words tell us exactly why YOUR view is the valid one. All Nestor really said was that your opinion seems baseless.
Rankings
Can somebody explain to me HOW USC is 8th in recruiting on scout.com and 2nd on rivals.com
As with ANY ranking
Check the criteria. Some are based more on quantity, while others are more based on the average star rating for each recruit regardless of how big the class is.
Differences in criteria explain why UCLA is just one place above USC in the much discredited U.S. News ranking of national universities (which consider a lot of non-academic criteria), but more than 70 places ahead in U.S. News’ ranking of world universities. Two very different results from the exact same publisher.
It's been mentioned before, but
Rivals uses a rather myopic ranking system where it pretty much just adds up the total amount of stars in the class and ranks by that. Scout takes into account talent, need and balance.
Also, Scout explains their system, but Rivals (to my knowledge) does not. This gives me more faith in Scout’s rankings.

LOIs
I see that we have 22 LOIs (unless I’m counting wrong)
Anybody know what’s up with:
Rykeem Yates?
Julious Moore?
Marquis Jackson?
If I remember correctly, Moore is having issues with academics. What about the other two though? I thought Jackson said that he solidified his commitment.
Somebody please explain.
I think Yates my greyshirt, though I would think he still would have faxed the LOI today.
Jackson doesn’t sign one as a JUCO commit.
Moore is having academic issues. I wish him the best, but general feeling is that he will not make grades to get in.
ahh, that's right
I forgot that JUCOs don’t fax LOIs. Thank you for reminding me.
Still would like to see Yates on there, though.
Off topic but did anyone notice Miami's class
it seems like years they underachieve they bring in a top 5 class but this year they finally show potential and fall flat in recruiting
"I can't believe I ate the whole thing" Homer Simpson
juco transfers dont sign LOI's
that’s the deal with jackson.
i agree with you amm19, miami couldnt close this year. helped sc because they snagged thomas and henderson. and helped us cuz we got shirley.
btw, any truth to the rumor that shirley and pullard dont like each other?

Talk about an early committment. Well, it’ll be that much sweeter when CRN flip him over to Westwood!!!
meh
If we’ve learned ANYTHING today, it’s that recruiting a kid is never over until the ink is on the paper.

Don't Forget About the Transfers
Just think that the Bruins’ Top 10 recruiting class does not include three outstanding transfers: Josh Smith, Joseph Fauria and Marquis Jackson.
Joseph Fauria was a four-star recruit in 2008 and ranked the 11th tight end in the nation by Scouts.com. Jackson is a four-star recruit as well.
The depth CRN and the staff is building in the program is amazing. I can’t wait until the spring.

Question
Who was the recruit that wore a sc jersey at the UCLA vs sc game?
I believe it was
Tony Jefferson not to be confused with Anthony Jefferson
do you why he isnt listed on SUC's LOI list on rivals?

This guy is focused on the right thing. If he is good as his stars and STAYS for his entire career it could be amazing.
