"UCLA is definitely in there now too, I had a great visit," Shittu said. "I really enjoyed the campus and the lifestyle there and the intensity the new staff is bringing to the program. What I enjoyed most was hanging out with Coach [Jim] Mora and seeing what a cool person he is. I liked him a lot.

Aziz Shittu checks out UCLA.

Sounds like he enjoyed his visit. I would love love love for this young man to be a Bruin.

A D-line w/ Shittu and McCarthy

would dominate the Pac-12 for years.

We'll get some, and we'll miss on some.

Regardless, it’ll be fun.
Can’t wait for wednesday!

Stanford

I’d be beyong ecstatic if he becomes a Bruin but he is going to the Farm I think.

I think so too

but post-Luck and with D Shaw at the helm, I think Stanford comes back down to Earth next year and beyond. Shittu could be in line for great things at U.C.L.A., if the sleeping giant wakes up like we hope.

Totally agree

Clearly I agree as well

since I basically repeated g’s comment below. This is why I didn’t go to law school: can’t read.

But hey, what do I know. I’m just the 800 lbs bruin in the room.

Also Toby Gerhart being long gone, kid was a beast.

They'll definitely come back some

but the way they are recruiting offensive linemen, I think they’ll still be solid. They’ll be able to run the ball and protect the passer for a while.

Dear Aziz Shittu

I know, it’s redundant…you know what I mean…but I do hope you will become the Aziz of Bruin fans.

Stanford is a great place. I wouldn’t fault you for a second for going there. But in truth, and without being “negative” towards them, they have probably peaked already…while you can be part of the phoenix that will be UCLA Football, rising from the ashes.

But hey, what do I know. I’m just the 800 lbs bruin in the room.

Beautiful

I’m thinking of getting that tattooed across my chest. A golden phoenix in a UCLA football jersey, rising from the ashes with Tommy Trogan’s head in its talons. Know any good artists? I can’t ask Morrell….
