C-Force

I referred to the Nike camp in an earlier post on UCLA-SC home jerseys. Found this article on the camp posted Florida's Rival site - GatorBait.net. It has this prominent mention of UCLA committ Chris Forcier, who goes by the nick name "C-Force":

San Diego St. Augustine quarterback Chris Forcier goes by the nickname "C-Force" and on Saturday the force was definitely with him. Forcier came in around 6-3 and 190 pounds and had a solid day all around, staking a claim to be named the No. 2 quarterback in California behind Jimmy Clausen.

Forcier's competition for the spot heading into the camp was Orange (Calif.) Lutheran quarterback Aaron Corp, who looked great at the Los Angeles EA Sports Elite 11 regional workout back in April. Forcier, a UCLA pledge, did everything he could to impress and he was worked over hard by NIKE quarterback coach Bob Johnson.

"It was a real challenge, and those are things that I need," Forcier said. "I like to be pushed hard and have somebody work with me to help me get better. I had a strong day and I was confident in a lot of my throws. I felt good out there."

Forcier's pledge to UCLA is definitely strong, as he was seen walking around before and after the camp with a white T-shirt with a powder blue and yellow UCLA logo scrawled across his chest.

And it also mentions another UCLA committ - DT Brian Price:

Price, who is around 6-foot and 270 pounds, used a combination of both (Simi) Fili and (Kenny)Rowe's game to have a great camp. He was banged up midway through the camp but the long-time UCLA commit was encouraged to come back out for the one-on-ones and he was simply unstoppable.

Price would use his speed to beat blockers to the outside, and when he needed to he pushed his way inside with strength to get to the quarterback. He was easily one of the most complete packages at the camp.

"I was pretty pleased with how the one-on-ones went," Price said. "I could have done better in other parts of the camp, but the one-on-ones is where everybody is watching you, and it's just you against the guy in front of you. I just had to go out there and take care of business."

Force, Price are all outstanding recruits. But Dorrell so far has received zero committments from 5 star recruits for the 2007 class. We are going to need some 5 star recruits if we want to close the talent gap against USC, which has developed under Karl Dorrell. Otherwise no matter how much C-Force UCLA is powered with it won't regain its status as one of the marquee programs in college football without talents, which will make it competitive with schools like USC and CAL in the Pac-10.

GO BRUINS.

QB recruit

That is great news on the recruiting front. I've always said that a comatose head coach should be able to get solid talent to commit to UCLA. I mean, how hard can it be to lure players to Westwood and our brilliant campus? Now let's see what Dorrell can do with the megastar QB recruit (Olson) he's already got in Westwood.
