PrintU.C.L.A. got a huge boost today with the signing of Kevin McReynolds, the #5 defensive tackle prospect in the country, according to Tom Lemming, and #24 per Scout. McReynolds will be making the move across the country from Washington DC to Westwood, and we are very happy to welcome him.
Here are some highlights.
Thus far, we have signed 9 players today, and that's not including the 3 who were already signed (including Brett Hundley). We will have a complete rundown of all of our new Bruins for you soon. For now, with all the upheaval around this program, we should be extremely appreciative and proud of all the kids who are willing to run into the fire, instead of taking the easy route and running away. This recruiting class is our new Band of Brothers. Let's make sure we give these kids our full support.
U.C.L.A. still has hopes of landing OT Torian White and WR Devin Lucien, both of whom are announcing later today. Let's continue our NSD thread here. Stay tuned...
Update (BN): Torian White has decided to sign with the love of Rocky Seto's life: USC Trogans.
2nd Update (BN): Lucien committed to UCLA. Welcome to Wesrtwood Devin.

C'mon guys
We are UCLA grads. Profanity is the first sign of a small vocabulary. Use words longer than four letters or we are no better than the rabble across town. We on this blog represent the university still and I have seen an uptick in foul language lately. I don’t want this blog to degrade to that kind of level of sophistication.
who could blame him?
He obviously intended to go to the better university, but couldn’t get himself to jump headfirst into the fire.
Instead, he chose the safer path where he won’t have to study or put in any work and will learn from a dimwit spoiled child (with a very attractive wife).
Regarding our Band of Brothers
Hurrah! Valiant young men who don’t shy away from a monster of a challenge.
Exactly
Let’s not forget to celebrate these men who accept a challenge. So often we rail against the lack of drive in certain players (or commitment in those who are tasked to lead them) and forget to ackowledge the heart of people standing right in front of us.
Congrats guys, I hope your years in Westwood were as great as mine.
Hope people have the passion vomit bucket ready for Rick’s presser later today.

CRN - mistake after mistake
I am proud of the kids that have signed on. There are many here in FL that are willing to goto LA and play for the Bruins. However – the program appears as a mess. We have talented classes that have not developed under CRN. What does that tell potential recruits?
I understand that it's disappointing
But how quickly we forget, how amazing last year’s class was. Through observation of offseason practice and training, I see a lot of natural leaders, especially on defense (Owa, Zumwalt, Riley come to mind immediately). It’s one thing to have leaders, its quite another to have your most talented and best players be your leaders.
We got the missing piece we needed out of this year’s class (Hundley). This program will be fine.
Who is going to coach those players on the defense?
Rocky Seto? Really? I’ll believe it when I see it.
"Every day was a good day at UCLA." -Coach John Wooden
for me
this class beyond Hundley was never the issue. The problem was taking that sack of sh*t Seto from across town instead of paying a little more for Randy Shannon. Our coaching is a joke and is the biggest reason why were in such a terrible situation.
On the sort-of bright side, Coach Neuheisel’s successor will be walking into a gold-mine of raw talent, unlike the situation CRN walked into three years ago.
Has Seto been confirmed?
Anyone have any idea if/when they will introduce this terrible choice?
Rick has a press conference at 4pm
This is a presser in front of reporters, and not just a conference call. The subject of the press conference hasn’t been announced, but doesn’t take much to read between the lines…

Presser is supposed to be streamed on uclabruins.com
If so, we’ll have a link up
greg in denver, UCLA guy for life - BruinsNation.com
Will anyone from BN be there...
to ask/chastise CRN for such a terrible choice? i.e. an unproven cheater bread from our most hated rival! The more I think about it, the more I am just shocked.
Totally unrelated
Just watching the signing day coverage during my lunch break.
Michael Eubank, a QB from Centennial was making his announcement. He’s verballed to ASU.
He picks up the Utah hat, the host goes “REALLY?!”
“No not really” then he puts on his ASU hat.
If I was a Utah fan, I might have cried.
That's what happens...
…when kids know that they have a bunch of adults hanging on their every word. I admit that I get caught up in this, especially when it comes to UCLA, but deep down I know that the hype and the attention focused on a kid deciding where they want to go to school is absurd.
by Westwood Wizard on Feb 2, 2011 12:51 PM PST up reply actions
Well, he'll get to play Utah four times.
If he is ever a starting QB, you can bet that the Coach will play that clip before the game and every Ute will be looking for a BIG hit. Stupid but, remember, these are kids.
Wow
they just listed Westgate as a key returner. I’m going to the roof of my building.
"Every day was a good day at UCLA." -Coach John Wooden
Marquise Lee to $UC
Terrible. Just Terrible. If the Appeals committee does not rule by March 1st those Puscies get to keep this stellar class which then begs the question “What’s the fucking point of the sanctions???”
There was none
because kids only listen to snake oil and want to go the NFL. $C has a machine doing both. We have just one machine. Guess which?

Could this day get any worse?
well i guess we could have players begin to transfer? lets hope that doesn’t happen. lol

You are correct sir!
I am a die hard, not a fair weather! I will wear it with pride – lets hope I don’t get into a fight!

maybe suk has sold these kids
that the ruling is going to go in their favor?
"Success is never final, Failure is never fatal. It's Courage that count's" - John Wooden.
That's what they're betting
But it’s unlikely. If they get hammered before a date in april, they have to ditch kids they signed this class. If they don’t, they’ll have to wait till the next three years to lose 10 per year.
"Every day was a good day at UCLA." -Coach John Wooden
but can they claim these recruits against last years class?
"Success is never final, Failure is never fatal. It's Courage that count's" - John Wooden.
That's what they did last year...
Seantrel aside, it worked then, and it is working now. Remember that a few of these recruits – the ones that enrolled this semester – count against last year’s scholarship count. Since the day that sanctions were announced, the SC folks were talking about loading up on early enrollees to mitigate the effect of the sanctions, I think there are 8 or 9 of them. The remainder (if sanctions are fully upheld, there will be a few) will get ditched if the appeals committee does not dither too much in releasing a decision.
formerly bruinhoo
wtf?!!!!!
the ncaa is a joke!
"Success is never final, Failure is never fatal. It's Courage that count's" - John Wooden.
Yep.
Kiffy really downplayed the sanctions last year, and it worked out for them, in part, due to the fact that the appeals process has delayed the effect. If the appeal is denied, there will be a big time fall out this year. Apparently Kiffy wants to sign 30+ this year. Discounting the 8-9 early enrollees, they will have to ditch more than 5 of their recruits or convince them to grayshirt. If they grayshirt, they would cut into the following year’s class. They also have to say under the overall number of schollies, which would mean even more cuts.

They will just extend the reduced scholarships out an extra year
That’s my understanding anyway

The problem is that $C will be set for years to come.
Since the season ended, Lame Kitten has complained about the lack of quality athletes on the team. With this stellar class, he got his athletes and will only have to plug holes with future classes. If the NCAA appeals committee does not rule before April, I see this as a victory for $UC as the sanctions will have little effect on the quality of the program in the years to come.
I believe that the extension is only if the appeal decision isn't determined before April 1.
If it is determined before April 1, the schollie cuts come in to play this year.
I am no expert, and I could be wrong, but that is my interpretation.
by AllHailMightyBruins on Feb 2, 2011 2:22 PM PST up reply actions
I doubt even the NCAA would screw kids over like that
It’s a shame that the punishment is so toothless right now, but they’re mortgaging their future for depth right now. They’ll probably have a few kids go to the NFL early in addition to normal graduation the next year and the year after, and they won’y be able to fill those loses easily. And I don’t think they’ll be able to back date many scholarships next year because they’ll have had their appeal denied and will have already filled their “extra” slots this year.
The real punishment for them is 2012-2014 when they’re playing so many freshman and they won’t have the ability to play fast and loose with signings.

at some point as a fan base, we need to welcome these new players in a big way.
We also need to remember we have a lot of guys that came to UCLA in the past few years that we love. I know we are all a lot distracted by the DC information, or lack of said, but I’m just beginning to remember there are kids out there who will have to play no matter what, and THEY need us. They came to us in good faith. We need to take care of them. (not a lecture, by the way. Just the shock wearing off.) Waiting for spring ball to see what we look like. Here’s hoping. GO BRUINS
Agreed. But we cannot forget...
that we lost out on many fine recruits who wanted to come to UCLA but chose other schools because of the way the coaching and administration handled the search for the DC. The coaches and administration must be held accountable for this debacle.
Amen on both above posts.
Neither can be forgotten.
"Every day was a good day at UCLA." -Coach John Wooden
The players are terrific.....
…its our coaching decisions and our AD that has let them and the fans down. SETO?
Everyone out here in Miami were excited to see Shannon possible goto UCLA. The players here loved him. He kept the program on the straight and narrow. The D was terrific here. He just didn’t win them championships at the U….so they released him due to the boosters. Alot of people didn’t like how that went down. He would have been good at UCLA.
None reported.
But he was close to Petey.

Great Question!
Someone should Seto or CRN at todays presser.
Bruins deserve better
here is a thought as i am trying to back myself away from the ledge…………
Leslie
The state of Bruin athletics is in a total state of disarray. Leadership starts at the top with Dan and to date he has failed to show the leadership necessary for a first rate athletic program. UCLA deserves no less than a first rate athletic program. However, UCLA consistently wants to live on past accomplishments but the past can only get a program so far. If you and Dan really care about Bruin athletics, then please explain why UCLA fails to pay market value for assistant coaches as well as why there is an utter lack of inspired vision regarding Pauley Pavilion renovation project. The best way to disseminate yours and the administration’s position on these issues is to do so on Bruin Nation.
Sincerely
Anthony G. Chavos
Anything on.....
Wallace Gonzalez
Devin Lucien
T.K. Fleming
Did CRN manage to sign his own kid or did he goto SC as well in a trade for Seto?
ah crap
I even forgot about CRN’s kid. That’s one prospect I’m praying goes to U$C. Sadly, the way things have been going, I’m sure he’s signing a full scholarship here.
Now where did I put that bottle of booze……
$UC has #2 rated class by Rivals.
I going to start drinking now.
How we talked about that looser Kiffen last year
…and he smoked us. Did better than his 1st year….and keeps on rolling. Surprised my phone hasn’t been ringing off the hook from all my $uc buddies calling to gloat….shite.
What are our chances with Lucien?
All the guys we were supposed to get we didn’t so my expectations are at an all time low at this point.
Also I would suggest that if CRN goes to the basketball game tonight that he not introduce Seto at halftime. That would be a life ending choice.
Torian White quotes from two weeks ago
"I am still committed to UCLA," said White. "I just want to check out some of the other schools and just looking around and seeing some other places. But I’m signing with UCLA."
White said the Bruin coaches didn’t pressure him to put his two remaining visits off, despite not necessarily wanting him to take them.
"They didn’t really want me to visit Oregon State or USC, but Coach Neuheisel said he trusts me and has confidence in his own school," said White. "They know I’m turning out to be a Bruin so I told them there is nothing to worry about."
not sure i agree with all the emailing to DG
i’m as mad as any of you… hell i took today off to do absolutely nothing but watch CRN reel in another great class, not to mention a new DC…
keep in mind last year’s class was stocked full. our d should be formidable – even without akeem and rahim, and even with an unproven *$¢ calling the blitzes, or at least i hope calling some blitzes… our guys are only going to get bigger and stronger, plus we added 2 DT’s to the mix in mcreynolds and tuliaupupu…
on the offensive side we will either have a better kevin prince, a better richard brehaut, or brett hundley. a 6th year for sean sheller, and coach palcic to teach the new guys like brendel, oliver, wysocki, and mcdermott. hard to imagine getting worse on offense.
plus our schedule is a tad easier… i’ll still be at the games, wearing my true blue… but i admit i might stubhub my tickets…
"Be more concerned with your character than your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are." --John Wooden
I don't blame the kid for going
it’s a lot easier to sell a program that has one year of not going to bowl game with a winning record. A kid can see the potential of success. Once you see the reality of what UCLA football is, I’m not surprised he flipped. All that has to be pointed out is our regression in the year, lack of player development, the instability of the coaching situation. It really becomes a no brainer for a kid looking for football success.
I wouldn't call him stupid
Maybe blinded or easily distracted by the wrong things. But that’s on our staff for not impressing that on him. No sense disrepecting a high school kid.

Question from a late arrival into the discussion
$UC has apparently locked up 30 recruits. Is that a byproduct of having so few scholarship players last year or have they managed to skirt the scholarship reduction portion of the sanctions because of the appeals process? I’ve just skimmed several threads and still wasn’t entirely clear.
The latter
The appeals process makes the sanctions moot unless the NCAA responds in a timely fashion (yeah right)
Plus 9 are already enrolled
and thus count towards last year’s class.
greg in denver, UCLA guy for life - BruinsNation.com
He can’t possibly Be that ballsy to announce the new DC at halftime tonight. Hey everyone you know that whole DC search we mishandled well no worries here he is a trojan for life and with no experience. That would go over well.

Presser at 4pm
Bunch of lobbed softballs I’m assuming. Here’s hoping the students respond accordingly if they show up to the game.
I don't think he would be that foolish
I’m sure he is very aware of the buzz going around about seto and the feelings of bruinsnation all around. If he were to step into Pauley tonight…i’m sure he’d be welcomed to boos that would drown out whatever he says. He needs to make a run for it after the 4pm presser and not show his face for a while. There’s way too much anger right now by the mishandling of the season, hiring of coordinators, communication, and lack of getting recruits. This is all assuming that Seto is going to be named DC at 4.
lol who was that douche?

This is amazing! $UC recruits should be informed that both $UC and Lame Kitten will be hit with even more sanctions. I pray the NCAA acts before April to teach the whole cheating regime a real lesson!

When news out, petros said no experience and alcks 3-4 background. Are you committed to Seto.
CRN: Rocky and I had a great conversation and I’ll leave it at that. not married to 3-4. What I want is someone who can mix packages and teach it so our young guys can get out there and play fast. Not ruling out possibility to hire great young star if out there and I’ll leave it at that.

-from maybe 20 minutes ago
“Hearing that his (Torian) parents may have had him flip back to UCLA. They were obviously unaware of his decision going into today and expected him to announce for the Bruins. There’s a nice little back story to this that is quite interesting. Whether it comes out or not depends on where he signs. At this point, he has yet to sign anywhere. Stay tuned.”
Petros

Petros doesn't think CRN will hire Seto for the bad PR.

They didn't create it...
Some reporters did and we ran with it.
Didn’t they release a statement no hire has been made? Maybe they need to push their statement harder, but they did say it.
Interviewing Rocky
after a month and half long DC search created the bad PR, didn’t it?
it's the time frame and not having a DC in place for recruiting season
rumors (strong ones, including ones backed up by Tracy Pierson, etc) fester when allowed to. You’d think that they would have gauged the negative backlash and released something certain this morning to counter the “rumors”
Bad PR on dragging out a hire no doubt
but they didn’t create the PR on Seto.
Last night they released a statement, no hire has been made.
At 3:30 today, CRN said he was not hired.
There’s a press conference at 4:00, presumably to talk Seto and these issues as well (maybe even to hire him, who knows).
So they’ve done 3 things in the last 18 hours to counter the rumors
If bad PR is why you can't hire a guy
why interview him at all? It’s not like they learned of his peter the cheater history during the interview!
Actually, it's the 4-3 3-4 thing.
Seto, according to P, only knows the one that CRN doesn’t want.
Go Bruins!

On the positive side, they would probably have it televised or live or something if he was announcing a D coordinator.

Congratulations and welcome to our newest Bruins! We need you and are glad that you are here. In the end how much credence can we place in ESPN rankings if they still employ Shilly Smith? They continue to pimp $uc as much as they do the SEC . Rankings and number of stars are an imprecise expectation of the future in a new world(college football) based on observations of an old one(high school). Lrt us all look to seee where they are in the future. I look forward to watching the new Bruins no matter who or what coaches them.
Pierson (from Scout) is reporting that Torian White
changed is mind again, back to UCLA. Cool if true, though I doubt envy the razzing he is going to get from his fellow teammates.
Click here for the stub from John Gold.
wow that was riddled with typos.
sorry about that. changed his mind AND I don’t envy the razzing
SERIOUSLY!
What is going on out there….im going to shit my pants in excitement that we get white back!!!
$c needs OL too
Good to deny them a position of need too. C’mon Torian!
heard on ESPN radio, Mason and Ireland show
that it looks like white is coming back to UCLA.
pretty excited if its true
Wow. This is confusing.

Good news
no DC announcement. They must have reconsidered WRT Seto.
Wow
Just went to get ready for the signing day reception/basketball game and White SIGNED with UCLA!!!!???? NICE! Part of me wonders if he wanted to go to $c and his parents were having none of it? As long as he wants to be here, WELCOME to Westwood, Torian!!!

Other way around, surprisingly
He had his heart set on UCLA, but chose $C for his dad. His dad told him to follow his heart. Great story. I’d still respect his dad either way.
