Martin commits

I got off the phone a little while ago with Harvard-Westlake of Studio City offensive tackle Jonathan Martin, who committed to UCLA today. Academics played a big role with him, as did the direction of UCLA's program. He grew up in Pittsburgh before moving to Los Angeles in 2000, and said "I've always liked the underdog, and they beat 'SC, so I was rooting for them there.''

Don't forget, he's 6-7 and 270 pounds. Nice get for the Bruins.


Q for Brian, have you heard anything about Deboskie?

Academics!!! Like his style and size.
WELCOME Jonathan Martin!

Good stuff. I like to see you keeping up on all this Dohn! The kid is huge and may entice a top back to tag along with Dean!

I don't think UCLA is going to be going hard after Deboskie. I'll leave it at that.
