UCLA Football Recruiting Surge Continues; Randall Goforth Commits to UCLA

PrintUCLA's red hot recruiting day just got even better with the announcement of 3/4* WR/CB Randall Goforth choosing UCLA over Arizona St. and Washington. He joins Jordan Payton who fired the first rocket for UCLA on signing day and Javon Williams who kept the momentum going as signing day commits who have joined our already stellar class.
Goforth checks in at 6'0, 175 lbs. The Poly product played primarily out of the slot in HS, which is where he would likely play if he ends up on the offensive side of the ball in college. It isn't clear at this point whether Goforth will play CB or WR, but both are positions of need. Some scouts have indicated that he is a better CB prospect, and it will be interesting to see how his situation plays out next season.
You can check out some of his highlights from 2010 here:

In addition to Goforth, Coach Mora picked up a commit from WR/CB Ahmaad Harris out of Georgia. To be honest, there isn't much fanfare about this guy. His tape looks good, and I'm sure Coach Mora and company did their homework on him.
You can keep tracking the signees on the official site here. Also, keep eyes on the lists on BRO and BruinBlitz.
Let's continue the fun in a fresh open thread.
Welcome to Westwood, Randall and Ahmaad!

The video says WR/KR ...
but on scout he’s ranked as a corner.
We need receivers and corners so it could go either way.

What is this you say about losing Payton?

REGARDING PAYTON
I think UCLA 13 just saw the FOX SPORTS WEST post of Payton’s twitter last night that said “Go dawgs”. Again, that was him LAST NIGHT. Today he committed to UCLA
i think you are right
at least these guys explained they understood why he would switch his mind so many times

I WANNA TAKE A CRAP
ALL OVER BARKLEY’S FAYACE
No one wants to know
what Cheat Carroll and Barkley do on their own time.
But hey, what do I know. I’m just the 800 lbs bruin in the room.
McCarthy will take care of that smug punk.....
Aka Tazmiami
I did take a crap all over Barkley's face...
but it was a different time and you know…

That's such a crude and inappropriate thing to say!
OMG Howard…how could you??
What the hell?
I’ll settle for a 51-0 victory next year…
You might want to talk to someone about your desires…
If you do end up pulling off your stated objective, please send pictures to Cheaty Petey. He will want to see what you have done to his boy!!

Is Payton any good?
@WestlakeVillage Bruin: What are your thoughts on Jordan Payton? I am a Westlake Warrior/UCLA Bruin alum and watched the Oaks Christian v Westlake games these past couple years. I was not at all impressed by Payton…disappeared in big games, didn’t do anything in the 2nd half against Westlake in the 1st game this year and only caught one pass for 6 yards in the CIF Championship game. At this point, I think he’s completely over-hyped and took pleasure in saying so over the past few months but now that he’s a Bruin I’ll swallow my pride and hope that I’m wrong.

Goforth and beat the Trogans, Mora and Mora
Sorry, it just looked incomplete :-)
Been a Bruin since birth
Goforth seems like a great kid.
He thanked all the universities for hosting him. It was very classy.
When he got a question about SUC, his quick response: “This is a new year”. I like it.

From the video
He seems like a great fit for Mazzone’s offense and an upgrade on returns. Do we know which coach is being tasked with special teams next season?
Really hope to see Ish Adams on returns
Watching video of him with the ball in his hands…hot damn.

We will!
The fair catching, wall-jumping LA-hating bonehead has graduated! Huzzah!

Celebrate Mora success!
Wearing my UCLA hat today around Pasadena has been pretty damn fun. A big smile on my face encouraged lot’s of bandwagon Trogan sneers. Anyone on BN in Pasadena up for drinks tonight? Want to bask with other Bruins in the fact that we have something to enjoy for the first time in a while.
35er bar
I was thinking of grabbing some drinks at the diver in old town or Lucky Baldwins on Colorado and Allen.

Baseball Commit
OF/INF Jeff Turley from LB Poly to the Bruins
25 commits on the Official Bruins page

So do we know who may be an early enrollee?
Rios for sure
and there were rumors of another one or two.

Where is Ceachir's LOI?
Did we already talk about this? Been a long day…
But hey, what do I know. I’m just the 800 lbs bruin in the room.
Any news on Watson and Owens?
Heard rumors of Owens looking into other options but nothing yet on Watson.
Ahmaad Harris
looking like Tairen Owens replacement in this class. Kid looks like a solid scat back/KR/PR prospect.
Interesting recruit
He’s not ranked. I wonder if he’s some kind of return specialist that we have been missing.

Seemed fine to me
JJ on the other hand is a total douche

Treggs to Cal
Good for him sticking with his word. Still love our class.

Cal and the City across the Bay both breathe a sigh of relief.

No surprise
He loves Cal. I can’t say that I understand why he’d choose Berkeley over Westwood, but I definitely respect him for sticking with his word.

probably far enough
away from home but just close enough and a great education?

Dad's a Cal legacy
I’m sure his dad propped him up to be a Cal bear since he was born. Brian Treggs was Cal’s all-time leading receiver when he graduated, and IIRC had Cal’s most productive receiving year ever as a senior. Yeah, Bryce’s mom is a Bruin, but Treggs’ dad was big man on campus during his time in Berkeley. Brian Treggs wasn’t just Cal’s playmaker, he was also the vocal leader of that team — at least some of that had to have rubbed off on Bryce. I remember Brian Treggs calling his shot when Cal played both UCLA and SC, and had big games against both and did a lot of talking before, during, and after those games. Of course, he also vowed to move to Palo Alto if Cal lost to Stanford that year … and they did … and he didn’t.
LOL
That last part made me laugh. That was an interesting tale
Dump Dan!

I really respect Treggs for sticking with Cal to be honest
You have to appreciate that kind of loyalty. Good for him.
There needs to be a warning label on this blog...
For those of us who have been out of touch all day this is too much good news to handle!
The only thing that could top this bonanza we got today
is to get in on the Facebook IPO.
Thinking of this class with the guys that were red-shirted last year.
Lucien anyone? Embree and Nelson are gone. We get this great new WR class + Lucien + Evans, Marvray -the ball droppers…I’m liking it a lot.
Go Bruins!
listening to CJM on CBS
The dynamic seem odd between CRN & CJM? When noting the efforts of on-campus recruiting folk, CRN said something to the effect of “glad you kept them.” Also, kinda weird that the two non-coaches of the KRAP hunger bowl were the CBS experts…
Is Jerry N. legit in any way?
He was a 2-3 star recruit per Scout and Rivals
Solid depth guy for the program, but should not threaten Hundley or Fuller’s spot on the depth chart, and likely ends up behind Millweard as well.
formerly bruinhoo
Should give a shout out to Yarber
For bringing in a solid WR class out of “thin air.” An 8 Clap for you good sir!

Would like to say that today has been a wonderful day thanks to many people.
Thanks to Coach Mora and all the wonderful coaches he brought in, thanks to the staff that remained at UCLA and remained effective, thanks to all the kids and their families. Thanks to all the Bruins fans on this blog. It feels like family. Most of all for me, thanks to all the Bruins Nation people that run the blog. You guys are awesome.
