Hey, folks
Just wanted to let everyone know I am back and will be running the blog again. Here's a quick little tidbit I received from NFL Report.com about potential 2008 draft picks from UCLA.
After a down year in which only one Bruin player was selected during the 2007 NFL Draft, the program will rebound in 2008 with 11 prospects projected for the 2008 NFL Draft, according to NFL Report.com.
They are seniors Shannon Tevaga (Offensive Line), Chris Markey (Running Back), Michael Pitre, (Fullback), Bruce Davis (Defensive End), Kevin Brown and Brigham Harwell (Defensive Tackles), Christian Taylor (Linebacker) and the defensive backfield quartet of CBs Trey Brown and Rodney Van and Safeties Dennis Keyes and Chris Horton.
Davis is currently the highest rated UCLA prospect carrying first round value for the 2008 Draft. It also marks the first time ever that NFL Report.com has projected an entire unit in one Draft class.

Welcome back Brian!
This group is going to be very special this year. Eight projected NFL draft picks just on defense. Awesome! I hope the high school kids read this and know that playing at UCLA prepares them for the NFL.

report is that it doesn't factor in underclassman. Uh, last I checked, the top QB, WR and RB (just to name a few) were underclassmen from the 2007 class. Besides, a team stocked with seniors should have some guys drafted. Report as you may, but full disclosure is only fair....

Welcome back Brian! You plan on covering any of the UCLA basketball summer league games this year ?

I will not cover any of the summer league games because they are meaningless. It is glorified pick-up ball, and very, very little (if any) translates into how someone will play during the season. For example, Michael Fey dominated the summer league once.

Dang, what a wet blanket! Having both Love and Mayo on the court together should be an EVENT. We've seen them on TV at various all star events but this will be the first chance some of us will have to see the players in person.
I like the new real time posting format. The exchanges should get more interesting with the Trojans. Let's hope we treat each other with respect.
