PrintGuys, Coach Rick Neuheisel is having his signing day presser right now and it is being streamed LIVE on the official site. Also, as mentioned yesterday Rye and Josh are going to cap off the incredible day with a BruinsNation football signing day podcast tonight at 6:30 PST. They are going to take a look at UCLA's signing class and go over all of our key commitments with their perspective.
I am too euphoric to provide any kind of drawn our perspective right now. Just for now let's just go ahead and celebrate all the kids who provided a huge jolt our already great class by committing to the Bruins today. It all started with the signing of Jordan Zumwalt:
The 4 star MLB from Orange County basically made up his mind today to play for Rick Neuheisel, setting up a huge afternoon for the Bruins when they went 4 for 4 making one big splash after another.
After Zumwalt it was Owa's turn shock the nation (except the one bleeding blue and gold). If you all want to get a sense of perhaps potentially the most explosive DE recruit to sign for UCLA since Jamir Miller here is a little taste:
Then we went on to get stunned by Shirley:
Revved up by Anthony Jefferson:
And finish with Riley:
As Dietrich mentioned afterwards "UCLA's back". Come back here when Ryan and Josh continue to the celebration in their podcast tonight at 6:30 pm PST.
GO BRUINS.

Just in case
link to CRN signing day presser in progress:

Just compare CRN to Lame Kitten's Presser
On right now on CBSSPORTS TrOJie page: http://bit.ly/ag8ChK
There is NO COMPARISON to CRN’s eloquence and respect for the game of football, especially for the incoming recruits and their families.
(sorry if I posted a trOJie link, I just thought it might be funny for some of us Bruins).
LOL
Hello Kitten’s explanation for why his class is on the small side: Because they didn’t want to bring in players who couldn’t compete and that it was their choice to have scholarships left over.
Reality: Because CRN took everyone else they had been planning on signing
ROFL
UnivSpinCity
I am so over them. Lame Kitty even took a dig at (UCLA, I assume) recruiting “players not worried about depth chart, worried about playing time”. So gross. CRN would never stoop that low in a presser.
Compare the choice of words between CRN and LK. THIS is WHY kids like Owa, Jefferson, Riley, and Shirley chose a school that would preserve their level of integrity and help them grow as scholars and athletes.
LET THE FOOTBALL SEASON BEGIN! GO BRUINS!
A little help on the JC
I understand they do not sign anything. So techinically are they not bound like a HS kid with an LOI?
Right now we just have a verbal committment from Marques
From what I have heard Marques Jackson has just few credits he needs to take care of (again that’s what I have heard).
Exactly what I was thinking
Packers style uni, tight end/linebacker. Hmmm

Any final word on Moore and Yates?
Both are still listed as commits on BRO, but neither have signed LOIs. I know Moore had transcript issues that needed resolving. Is that still ongoing? What about Yates?
I hope these two can sign
Our commit list is strong already, but Moore was one of our first commits and Yates could definitely be used as a tweener DE/OLB. I’ll take all the bodies we can get.
CRN said during the presser
That they are not expecting any more LOIs today. However, I think it’s a good sign that Jackson and Moore really want to come to UCLA and get their ducks in row. As for Yates, I have heard unconfirmed speculation that he would be a solid greyshirt candidate who would enroll later. I think those situations will work out on their own for all parties involved. We should celebrate the fact that they are still committed to UCLA even if the paperwork issue hasn’t been resolved yet.
Thanks N
It’s good to hear that all three are still solid with us. What a day! I think I only did about 15 minutes of real work today shooting back and forth between here, Scout and Rivals. I can’t wait for summer ball to get here.
Wait
I assumed they are committed to us because I have not read anything elsewhere saying they are going somewhere else (for now). The remain listed as “committed” in all online recruiting sites. That’s what I am basing it on. Of course things can change but for now those guys are still with us.

Got back from the library from bar study. WOW!
FREAKIN WOW!
*I* ran over George Tirebiter.
Oh yeah
Amazing. I’m at a loss for words. Can it get any better than right now?

Wow at Josh Shirley's tape
He’s a beast. Imagine Shirley on one side and Owa on the other
CRN
Based on yesterdays expectations.
GRAND SLAM BABY!
Try it again 66
I think they’ve switched from the live stream to a recorded stream

Thanks -- it is great!
CRN is charismatic.
And, unselfish — he really shares the spotlight and glory. That’s a way to build loyalty and teamwork.
I was excited all day and this is the topper.
sjh
Henderson
on why he joined the SUCsters
“Despite the coaching, I always liked USC, period,” Henderson said.

It reminds me of what Mark Twain said about Richard Wagner (and for you non-opera folks, he's a composer dude)
Twain said, “Wagner’s music is really much better than it sounds.”
Hey N I’m not one who likes to gush… But great work the last few days it’s great to come back from PT and no you will have a morning post! You were on top of it all week, again thanks for the work I really had a great time following my beloved bruins through you.
On that Owa clip
He looked like he was held and still closed on that QB. This guy is gonna be good!

Anybody watching the CBS feed on the computer
Kiffin as usual is spinning it and said that most of Tennessee’s success is because of him

He has to say something other than “I hear footstep behind me…very close in fact…”

Shirley scares me
He isn’t just quick off the ball with great strength, he is lightning fast, outrunning people in space.
Was that Brehaut he got to at around the 3:15 mark?
I heart Shirley & Riley
They all have skills but those two can really ball! Will be exciting to watch them grow.

Markeith Ambles really into being a trogan
According to Mandel, this morning’s tweet was not Markeith’s first trogan moment.
Tuesday, Ambles tweeted this: “@mARKEITHAMBLES: who will i be tomorrow a vol, trogan, or tar heel!!!!!!”
I chalked that one up to tiny mobile phone keys or touchscreen issues. After all, the G and the J are separated only by the H on a standard QWERTY keyboard. But when Ambles tweeted Wednesday about his decision, I began having doubts. At 12:13 p.m. Wednesday, he tweeted this: “@mARKEITHAMBLES: Go Trogans!!!!!!”

Wolf had reported a couple of days ago
that Pete Carroll had stopped recruiting him over “character issues”. LOL….think about that one for a second!
I think this guy is going to provide BN authors with a lot of material over the next few years!

S. Henderson
Tell me I am not the only one who, when he stated that his family was moving to LA to support him, immediately figured out SUC’s next major violation.
Troglodyte + Trojan =
Trogan?
*I* ran over George Tirebiter.
Met as a reply to Patroclus
But while I’m here, it’s too bad these players don’t want to “compete” in mental power. Some people just want to be football players and SUC is a means to an end. Some student-athletes want to compete in the classroom and on the field.
So, I really don’t get why SUC is so happy with the leftovers?

Brain stopped functioning after 9 hours of torts review

Which itself is a tort, in the opinion of many.
When I took the bar, there were only about four or five torts, and I think the only appellate opinion was Palsgraf.
You're right

At some point, we need to remember the wise words of Donald Sutherland in "The Dirty Dozen"
When he was pretending to be a general and was inspecting Col. Breed’s troops, he uttered the immortal line: “Very pretty, Colonel, very pretty. But can they fight?”
We have our class, and we have our returning guys. We have our coaching staff in place. It’s now time to get everything together and then heed the equally immortal words of Coach Kezerian: “Line up and whip the guy across from you.”
So if someone smart is going to link the Dirty Dozen line, would someone equally smart put up the line I am thinking right now, which is the truly immortal words of the great Russell Westbrook. All I can think of at this point is “LET’S GO!!”
I just finished the CBS signing day special
and some things stand out
-Hayes Pullard wasn’t even mentioned, strange considering he was suppose to pick on the show (I know he already picked SUC but he didn’t come on to confirm it or anything)
-next year’s WR class looks to be elite. We really have a big shot at Devon Blackmon

Podcast pushed back to 7
because if it’s us vs. CRN, CRN will will win 11 times out of 10.

Gold's take on Neu's presser
sounds like some issues with a couple of remaining recruits.
UCLA head coach Rick Neuheisel made it clear during a signing day press conference that UCLA’s 22 signees would be it.Gold’s thoughts and/or report on the remaining 3 recruits not to sign.
Moore and Jackson are said to be academic casualties, though Jackson is said to be hopeful that he can still attend UCLA as junior college transfers don’t sign letters of intent on signing day. Yates meanwhile is thought to be considering a greyshirt opportunity and as of around 5:30 was still up in the air.
formerly bruinhoo
FWIW
Rivals lists Jackson as a USC verbal. Also they just updated their class and USC is number 1.
http://footballrecruiting.rivals.com/commitlist.asp?Year=2010&School=71
yea, I just saw that
Academic casualty for sure.
When you can’t make the grades, go to just$c.
I don’t really consider this losing a recruit to the a-holes across town, but it still sucks somewhat.
Still, regardless, and amazing recruiting class.
Scouts.com
They are showing Julius Moore of Belvue Wash and Rakeem Yates Edison Fresno as signees also but I didn’t see them anywhere else Scouts rates UCLA as #6 with $UC at 7
Coffee is for closers
I wanted to ask this on the other thread but it was closed already.
What movie is that scene from? Such an intense scene
