Headlines in the Bruin Twitterverse - UCLA Football Recruiting, Sorry State of UCLA Basketball

Let's head back out on the recruiting trail, as we lead up to signing day.  First you keep your current commits happy:

Great Home Visit from my future Coaches. Blessed to have the opportunity to play for them. #UCLA pic.twitter.com/Hb0Yhd6pfV

And perhaps a little unofficial recruiting may have happened at the Polynesian All-American Bowl?

Players at that game include targets Damien Mama and JuJu Smith. Coach Polamalu was there because his son was participating in the activities, so we're not breaking any rules here.

Show the man some Twitter love:

Can I get a couple shoutouts from BruinNation, a couple more followers would make me smile #8Clap #Ucla #BruinRevolution

Sorry, doctors.

Never understood why doctors offices say I need an appointment when they still make me wait an hour regardless...I hate the doctors

On to the sad state of UCLA Basketball, at least the view on the road trip:

Would love to ski these Utah mountains but will opt for a win instead! http://t.co/Xse0Z1Q22j

This would have been great if it got 1,000 retweets, which sadly didn't happen:

@balford20 I'm streaking the court on your bday if this gets 1k retweets

How bad is UCLA Men's Basketball?  This is Miguel Melendez, former UCLA Beat writer but still follows the Bruins religiously:

I'm so over this @UCLAMBB team. Not watching them the rest of the season. See y'all when spring football starts. Peace.

How to tell @UCLAMBB has fallen off radar: Not a single traveling beat writer from the three major metro newspapers on this road trip.

Steven Manfro got a puppy, and he's being quite the puppy.

Well havoc is definitely causing havoc... On my blankets and carpets already

What a name.

Ouch, what a way to go:

It's an Apple world:

Just realized I'm texting on my iPhone.. While looking stuff up on my Mac.. As I watch a show on my iPad... #allbad #technologytakesover

Finally, the season is over for 49ers fans and Kevin McDermott:

Thank you Niner Nation for all the support this year. Tough loss tonight but we will be back. It's an honor to be a 49er. #NoLongerARookie

— Kevin McDermott (@KMcD47) January 20, 2014

He had a good rookie season, even if it didn't end in a Super Bowl.

Go Bruins.
