Colton DE Holmes Watching UCLA Developments
Damian Holmes, the well-regarded defensive end at Colton High School, is watching UCLA's coaching situation with keen interest, according to Holmes' coach, Harold Strauss.
Holmes has committed to the Bruins, but when a school changes coaches, everything is up in the air.
Strauss said Holmes is hopeful the defensive coaches (led by D-coordinator DeWayne Walker) will survive the change at the top, which probably would make him happy to go to Westwood.
Just guessing ... but the new coach will bring in his own staff. So Holmes may have some decisions to make.
He may find it interesting to read the comments by Brian Abraham, a senior tackle at UCLA ... which are in an item farther down on this blog.
Abraham said players play for their teammates and their schools, not for coaches, because coaches can disappear overnight.
That was an astute observation from a guy who has been through the system.
So if Holmes likes UCLA and the guys he's met during recruiting ... maybe he should just go ahead and go, no matter what the coaching staff looks like next season.
