Six foot three [Jeremy] Lin, who is from Palo Alto, California, was turned down by UCLA, his dream college, and did not receive any offers of basketball scholarships. He went to Harvard because they were one of only two teams to offer him a place on the squad; he studied economics.

UCLA has more talent accumulated right now according to our weighted recruiting measure than at any point in the Rick Neuheisel or Karl Dorrell eras. UCLA has been recruiting like one of the top programs in the country, so no one should be too surprised if Mora delivers early returns.

This is gonna be a long night. This isn't a 4 year decision, it's a 40 year decision.

That's coach Klemm's line.

After just five weeks in Lithuania, former UCLA PF Reeves Nelson was released by Zalgiris today. Team elected not to pick up his option.

"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.

[P]itt head coach Paul Chryst will add Inoke Breckterfield as defensive line coach. Breckterfield coach the defensive line this past year at UCLA. Jim Mora had retained Breckterfield as an operations assistant, but Breckterfield has opted to join the staff at Pitt.

Apparently, Rutgers AD Tim Pernetti lives by the Bill Moos style of governance..."Any AD worth whatever the university pays them has a list in their pocket the whole time."

"Just spoke to the father of Nate Iese and he confirmed that his son has committed to play at UCLA..."
