PrintCoach Rick Neuheisel has picked up his 4th commitment of this very young recruiting season and this is a big one. From ESPN:
Wide receiver / tight end prospect Junior Pomee (Moreno Valley, Calif./Rancho Verde) has committed to UCLA over Arizona, ESPN's Greg Biggins reports.
"I had a long talk with my dad last night and UCLA just came out on top. They were the first school to offer me and that meant a lot to me. The distance from home was a plus and I like the new offense they're putting in. I think that 'Pistol' offense will open things up and mean a lot more ball for the tight ends and receivers and that's what I'll be doing," he explained.
Other programs including Washington, Oregon State, Nevada, UTEP and Idaho were also after the 6-foot-3, 210-pound prospect.
Welcome to Westwood Junior. More after the jump.
Scout.com has the following capsule on the first four star commit of this very young recruiting season:
A hybrid tight end, wide receiver, Pomee has the frame to play at 240+ pounds on the college level. He has wide receiver skills in the passing game understanding how to use his body to box out smaller defenders and he adjusts well to the ball. Needs to stay focused and play hard on every down to reach his potential. Should he add the needed weight, he could be a fast tight end, or end up a big possession receiver - Scott Kennedy, Scout.com.
Brandon Huffman in an earlier article for Scout.com compared his "style" to Morrell Presley. So he sounds like a very exciting get for the Bruins.
The fun is just getting started this summer. If last few years are any indication remember Neuheisel usually builds up his class little by little over the summer, and turns on the jets late in Fall and early Winter. Seems like we are on the same trajectory again this season as well. Good times.
GO BRUINS.

Nice!
Didnt expect this one to come for a while, but still expected it. Welcome aboard young man!
A bruin is good forever, a Trojan is only good... ahh eff it, just use tin foil
With a limited # of schollies
Do you think we would take 2 TE’s? What if the other was Seferian-Jenkins? I say absolutely, he is a huge stud.
I think so.
Pomee will be more of a hybrid. He’ll be perfect for the pistol. I might be more excited about the offense than most, because it’s my favorite one to watch. If we get Hundley, watch out.
We also may have more schollies open depended on what Richardson, Richardson, and Shirley do. I hope they earn their way back to the program, but you never know.

Wait
So where is he from? I only see the California stuff. Is he from Arizona where Hundley is from? Maybe i am out of the loop on which QB you mean… :)

Hahah
My bad. Misread this line:
Junior Pomee (Moreno Valley, Calif./Rancho Verde) has committed to UCLA over Arizona.
So I immediately thought he was from Arizona. Doh.
Excellent News!
Welcome to the Bruins, Junior!

Across The Face

odd thing happened
his stated top 3 of a couple weeks ago is completely different than the one he named just this last week. He said UCLA is recruiting him the hardest.

Thanks for the link, and with the comment below from the article, I'm now a fan of this guy
“Blackmon recently participated in the Bruins football camp and said one of his biggest highlights was signing autographs afterwards and “telling the little kids positive messages,” he said."

Congrats and all, but...
WE NEED OL LINEMEN!!!
The kid’s too small to convert. Great, he’ll be on the sidelines wtaching Morell and Furia for three years. WE NEED LINEMEN.
Gots RBs, WRs, TEs. WE NEED LINEMEN.
All right ok, I’m getting down from my soapbox. But let me ask you this question—-
Do you think WE NEED LINEMEN?
Other schools considered were Arizona, Washington, Oregon State, Nevada, UTEP and Idaho
I would have felt better if he chose us over Texas, Notre Dame, Florida and Ohio State.
Read carefully
If you follow the link you will see per scout.com he has an offer from Florida. So read up a little before piping up like whiny fan. Oh … The content above is a “blogpost.” If you are looking for a “story” head over to a newspaper or magazine website.
