UCLA Football Recruiting Open Thread: Remaining Bruin "Targets", Mid-Day Open Thread

PrintLet's do a fresh thread as the Javon Williams one is getting packed with comments. Here are the recruiting targets who have yet to announce:
Aziz Shittu, (Stanford,Cal, UCLA, Southern Cal) [2 pm PST]-
Bryce Treggs, (Cal,UCLA, Southern Cal) [3 to 5 pm PST,on FoxSportsWest.com] - Randall Goforth,
(Arizona St.,UCLA,Washington) [3 to 5 pm PST,on FoxSportsWest.com] -
Bryan Harper,(Arizona,Cal, UCLA, Oregon, Washington) [3 to 5 pm PST,on FoxSportsWest.com]
Reportedly Seth Jacob is off the board and Tairen Owens is "exploring options". The Owens news is not a surprise to us based on what we had heard in recent days. As for the remaining guys except for Goforth - others are long shots. I don't really believe Treggs is still deciding. I think he is all set on Cal. It will be a monumental shocker if he comes to UCLA. I wouldn't recommend anyone holding their breath for Treggs.Doesn't really matter though as today already has been a massive success for Mora and UCLA.
For for those who are interested Coach Jim Mora is going to be on at ESPNU at 12:20pm PT (like now) for an interview. He will also be on CBS Sports Network at 12:45pm PT. Wonder if it will be Coach Rick Neuheisel, who will interview Mora. That'd be pretty interesting TV on NSD. Speaking of interviews, here is Noel Mazzone talking about his new QBs:
He is fired up. So are we.
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.
GO BRUINS.

Is there any reason for that? :-)
Part of the NCAA sanctions
Limited scholie for the next three years
They can sign a couple more though
Breslin, Starr, and Wheeler enrolled early
and stay under 75 total
that number might be more troublesome than the 15/year

I know. Sarcasm.
Still their average (far right column) is the highest. They got quality.
Meh
four of their “quality” players have left the program in the last two years.
I still don’t get why anyone would want to play for that douche. One look at his face and all I want to do is tackle him and give him wedgies. Tosh 3.0. I’d get playing for his dad, but him? That face is so annoying!
But hey, what do I know. I’m just the 800 lbs bruin in the room.
Definitely a few
but the point is the 5* rated guys don’t always end up playing like that.
But hey, what do I know. I’m just the 800 lbs bruin in the room.
Help with new unis?
Wikipedia says that Diddy designed the green alternate Jerseys for the Dallas Mavericks in 2005-2006 season. Maybe he can straighten out our uni issue?
Maybe we can become the 1st NCAA program to be sponsored by Sean John
I’m sure that’d be an upgrade over the Dan Guererro/Adidas tighties partnership

Did Mora pull any offer from a CRN commit?
Just asking.
Did Mora pull an offer to any CRN commit? I’d like to think he didn’t. I want UCLA to stand by their word.
generally the way it works is
Mora and staff will ask Rick’s guys to greyshirt; more often then not they’ll look elsewhere (such as Shannon Edwards yesterday)

Mora interesting will be who he will be
asking to transfer from the current roster. We could be as high as +9 over the 85 limit.

Two thoughts outside of UCLA
Stanford – great recruiting class, but I think the inevitable freefall starts now.
Cal – Wow. I’ve never seen so many recruits hinge on one staff member like this. They’ve been decimated by decommits.
I don't think they all hinged on a staff member.
Of course, Tosh was huge, but so was the idea of the #CalGang. When Tosh left, a few big pieces of the #CalGang looked elsewhere, and then the whole thing collapsed.
Formerly AllHailMightyBruins
this was the key in Treggs looking around
it wasn’t the coaches leaving (although Kiesau probably affected him a little), it was the recruiting class falling apart

I also think
Tosh has been busy ripping on his previous employer. Quite the classy guy.
But hey, what do I know. I’m just the 800 lbs bruin in the room.
Yup. I have a friend who heard Tosh doing exactly that.

I think it's extra nice
That we’ve been specifically named along with Oregon as not doing negative recruiting.
by Tydides on Feb 1, 2012 1:53 PM PST up reply actions 1 recs
Not that it was classy
Buy maybe what he’s saying is actually true.
Very strange.
Cal was the popular pick a bit too soon.
There's a lesson here
A number of Cal people are complaining that Cal wouldn’t pony up the money to match Washington’s offers, thus leading the coaching exodus and then to the class’ collapse. We evidently have some good-to-great recruiters on our staff and we should be careful to at least remember to handle a similar situation, should it arise a few years from now, much better than Cal did.
Difference in Cal and UCLA's fiscal situations
Cal screwed themselves with how they handled their fiscal house in recent years. Unlike UCLA, Cal has had to dip into university administrative funds to cover athletic department operating losses. UCLA’s athletic dept. also receives administrative funds, but all of those funds are paid for by dedicated funding sources (i.e., the student fees, which were approved by student referendum). UCLA has never had to bail out the athletic department. Cal athletics was dipping into discretionary funds, at a time when the entire university was facing budget cuts. That’s why Cal had no leverage when Washington backed up the Brinks trucks and raided Cal’s coaching staff.
The new Pac-12 TV deal is a windfall for all conference schools, and a lot of that extra revenue has gone straight into raising the ante on coaches’ salaries. Already you can see that Mora’s staff is getting paid better than Neuheisel’s assistants, and the football team now has a dedicated S&C coach. At every other Pac-12 school, that TV money is being used to make upgrades. At Cal, the TV money simply allowed the athletic department to break even. Cal had no room to maneuver when UDub offered triple salary to Tedford’s assistants.
If other schools want to raid Mora’s staff, that would be a good problem to have, because it means the team is doing well. And we’ll see how willing the Morgan Center is to loosen the purse strings, given that the athletic department’s fiscal health was okay even before the new TV deal.
Inglewood HS
4 kids from Inglewood HS have signed. Including SoCal, Boise St, and OK. Looks like we need to get that pipeline pumping our way.
Any word on Walker LOI
or any of the other verbals that are outstanding?
I should be working right now...
Here's hoping...
… we can call him “Sky” Walker.
Old joke leftover from the bball 80’s.
These signings are good too ...
The @UCLAWaterPolo men’s team has signed Danny McClintick (Ventura Co. Player of the Year) & Alec Zwaneveld to national letters-of-intent
wow just jumped off the golden bear blog site
is what they’re saying about Tosh true? wow, slanderous!
wow is right
for those that don’t want to search, allegedly Tosh was going into recruits’ homes (after he left for UW) with the first semester transcript of a big time recruit from last year. Apparently he struggled his first year and Tosh’s recruiting pitch was, “look how hard classes at Cal are, this big time recruit struggled and you would too. UW will be easier.”
No idea if this is legit or true, but the frontpagers over there seem to think that it’s true. It would be a major, MAJOR violation if this is going on, not to mention criminal
by bucknellbruin on Feb 1, 2012 1:49 PM PST up reply actions
agreed, but that's not really the point
the point is that, if what people are alleging is true, then not only is Tosh a complete sleazebag, he’s committing serious NCAA violations and BREAKING THE LAW.
by bucknellbruin on Feb 1, 2012 1:53 PM PST up reply actions
That's not really the point
Divulging student records without consent is a big violation of the CA Ed Code
Formerly AllHailMightyBruins
Absolutely true -- even a parent of an 18 year old is not entitled to see the kid's grades
it is a violation and is enforced by the State, not the wimpy NCAA.
sjh
re: with the transcript.
Now they are saying he didn’t take the transcript in, but that he talked about it. Still gets him trouble, though.
Murphy
Kyle Murphy to Stanford per Brandon Huffman
Does anyone know if Shittu's announcement
be televised or streamed anywhere?
QB
I could probably even play QB for Stanford behind that line. I still have four years of eligibility left. Heck… a Stanford degree would even be a nice addition to the resume .
Gauchos it is
My degree is from UCSB … we didn’t have a football program (John Barnes was a gift to UCLA when the program was cancelled). So I still have all 4 years of eligibility remaining. Been a Bruin fan since birth however with both my parents attending UCLA from 70’-74’.
Never need to explain Bruin fandom
;)
But hey, what do I know. I’m just the 800 lbs bruin in the room.
Impressive
they do know Luck is leaving right? LOL! Who is the OL coach there, anyway? Well, they always say, the guys on the OL are usually the smartest guys on the team. Not surprising that Stanford would have a good batch of OL recruits…
But hey, what do I know. I’m just the 800 lbs bruin in the room.
The fact that they've got a first round OL draft pick helps too
Stanford’s a tough place to say no to if admitted, then add that they have DeCastro who’ll be a first round pick this year. Hopefully XSF and our other linemen will provide the same type of evidence that OL can thrive at UCLA.
Not to mention
it might actually be easier to study there than at UCLA. You can drop a class whenever…
But hey, what do I know. I’m just the 800 lbs bruin in the room.
Yep, and
they have the OL depth to allow guys to redshirt and develop. Will be interesting to see how Stanford does next season, but I don’t expect a huge drop off, they’re defense will be very good and their line will allow Nottingham or whoever is QB some room for error. Schedule is pretty favorable as well.
Work
If you were to gauge the amount of work I have completed by my “network connection utilization” I’d be due for a raise. I have twitter and about 5 websites on constand refresh. The Mora bandwidth the better!
Gotta give it to UCLA today
Doing a job with all these updates and videos.
They did it last year too
But as we keep emphasizing it matters how they communicate to us all year and there is the issue of results on the field.
Excitement like this is nothing new on BN, check the archive and threads from last 2-3 years.
Apologies
Forgot about it last year and definitely agree there should be this type of stuff up all year long
No apologies needed here
You are right that UCLA does deserve credit for the job they are doing today.
To re-emphasize two points that we continuously make here
1. That they have done it today means that we know they can do it, and there’s no reason why they shouldn’t put forth this kind of effort every day.
2. That the Bruin faithful, those of us that haven’t yet been completely turned off by years (decades?) of incompetence are hungry for information and news. Producing high quality product not only reflects well on them and the school but allows them to set and drive their narrative around their programs, rather than let places like the SUC Times do it.
also, is it televised/available to watch online?

SO ANNOYED
Ok, not recruiting related but I have this cousin who does nothing but talk massive sh@! about UCLA anytime I write about the Bruins on my FB page. Not only did he not go to SUC, but he didn’t even go to college! In fact not a single person in our family ever went to SUC! I can’t stand the bandwagon that surrounds that school and people who talk trash solely to ruin my day. I know, don’t rise but I am about to say something seriously nasty in reply. Rant over.
You would be mad too
If someone texted you 25 times during the Texas game talking trash!! Ok, we were bad but no need to rub it in that much!
Is there anyone at $UC that went to college?

Agreed -- one of my pet peeves
How UCLA hasn’t developed a good radio presence — even on their “flagship” station, the announcers know way more about u$c than about UCLA.
That's just for ratings
they are the ultimate bandwagoners
But hey, what do I know. I’m just the 800 lbs bruin in the room.
I'm from Pasadena
but my cousin is that exact Orange County kid you are describing. He is actually in the Air Force – so root for them, seriously!
This is what I posted on my facebook. “Why are U$C fans so quite during basketball season?” Not that we have an amazing team this year, but definitely not like the Trojan Division II team.
Uhh
In Newport Beach, they’re not bandwagoners. They are Trogans.
The bandwagoners live in the valley, man. :)

I'm a proud UCLA "Bandwagoner"
I didn’t go to UCLA, and neither did my parents. When my dad was growing up in the Philippines, Coach’s UCLA teams were the only college basketball that made it all way to his TV. He passed his fandom to me as a kid.
While it’s easy to discount other fans’ allegiances because of a perceived lack of affiliation, I’d hate to think I’m a second-class Bruins fan just because I didn’t go there.

You’re a Bruin fan through thick and thin, not just in the good years. We know because you’ve been here a while. The Trogan bandwagoners came from the Raider train that departed the station…and I bet many of them even wore UCLA jerseys in the 90’s…
But hey, what do I know. I’m just the 800 lbs bruin in the room.
The way the last few years have gone
If you still call yourself a Bruin then there’s no way you’re a bandwagoner. You’re a Bruin at heart.

Apparently there was a great interaction between Neuheisel/Mora today on CBS
If any of you spot the YouTube, can you please at least fanshot it? Bonus points if you can transcribe the key parts and then fanpost it. Thanks!
It Was A Great Interaction
CRN really is a class act and handled the interview with warmth and professionally.
It was obvious that he “hurt” a bit and wanted to be on the other side of the interview — but he was really kind to Mora and they interacted well.
I know we’ve “lost” some of CRN’s commits — but he should get a little credit for opening up the recruiting world to us while he was our coach.

Newport is SC central
It’s really very annoying. I don’t know that they’re necessarily bandwagoners per se, though. I think a lot of them went there. Kinda goes with the OC wealthy, conservative territory.
Other areas of OC, on the other hand…
I’m not in OC anymore but still socal. Guy across the street from me has not one, not two, but THREE USC flags hanging along the front of his house.
As if one isn’t annoying enough. You really need 3 freakin’ flags in a 30 foot space?
That’s the kind of stuff makes me wanna kick someone in the nuts…
LOL!
My parents unfortunately have a ton of SC fan friends, my dad jokes when I get married he is going to hire the UCLA band to play at my wedding just to drive them crazy. Oh, and he wants Joe Bruin to cut in on our first dance :)
And yes three flags is obviously compensating for something!
South Coast Plaza
Has an entire USC Store. It’s difficult to even walk by without getting the blood boiling.
Yup, hate that damn place.
I give it a wide berth eny time I walk by. I’ve toyed with the notion of getting SC gear for my brother (a Trogan) for xmas or his birthday, but I just can’t bring myself to walk into that store…

Behind the Orange Trogan Curtain
I live in the OC and it is crawling with Trogans of all kinds. My work is the worst. I have a core of 4 UCLA grads here constantly working to make the workplace less hostile to Bruins. It would help if this recruiting class translates onto the field…
Why is it that the OC has so many Trogans?
My friend works at the OC Ernest & Young office and he tells me that the Trogan alums there vastly outnumber Bruin alums.
Numbers-wise
there may actually be more Bruins in the whole county…it’s just that the Trogans are loud and obnoxious.

Actual Story:

Not sure how
I’m not the greatest writer, speaking is more my thing. Feel free to put it up. I don’t need credit. I’m trying to temper my joy with the fact that we’ve been down so long and Mora still hasn’t coached a game.
But man is it an exciting time.
That story notes our receivers ...
and doesn’t even include Goforth.
Or Ahmaad Harris (another receiver).
Goforth goes both ways
Some have said he may come in with a chance at WR and if he doesn’t make an instant impact switch to DB.

you honestly didn't miss much,
he came out and thanked DG, and his staff, and gave props to where props were due. No relevant questions, 15 min affair
Petros Papadakis is being a tool (again)
I’m listening to AM570 while waiting for someone and he’s going off about how Ellis McCarthy is ucla’s biggest recruit since jonathan ogden. If he means size, maybe. Anywho, he also said ucla has yet to address the qb issue (no mention of hundley’s existence, mild mention of Milbeard) and talked about how angry trogies are about Murphy to stanford. He seriously said “What could he see in Stanford over USC?” I mean wow….

He didn't mean "size"
In terms of size, UCLA’s biggest recruit since Ogden is . . . drumroll please . . . Mr Joshua Smith.
LOL!
Let him stew.
He could be right about McCarthy though. That kid could end up being a 3-year starter, 4-year if he stays. I don’t remember UCLA getting a player like that since, well, Ogden.
But hey, what do I know. I’m just the 800 lbs bruin in the room.
Price comes to mind
same situation

What could he see in in Stanford? How about a fantastic education you butt puppet.

Someone mentioned it above

My roommate used to work at KLA in the Ackerman Grand Ballroom
That was cool because he’d give me heads up when they were giving away concert tickets to such notorious bands as the Soup Dragons and Pixies
Thanks for reminding everyone
Good recruiting class, but still, FIRE CHIANTI DAN! He gets no credit for this.

I thought this was a violation when I was watching
Apparently Yahoo thinks so, too.
Lame Kitten just can’t help himself.
I know it’s far fetched, but I think the NCAA should hammer them again considering Kiffykin’s track record at Tenn and the fact that USC is currently under sanctions. Part of which is thumbing their nose at the NCAA.
