Dominique's time
I asked UCLA coach Rick Neuheisel if he gave any consideration as to when red-shirt sophomore WR Dominique Johnson will sit his NCAA-mandated two-game penalty for getting his red-shirt season back after playing in the 2006 opener.
Johnson must sit out the first two games of one of his remaining seasons.
"I want to talk to Dominique about it,'' Neuheisel said. "Right now, I would say it's not next year, just based on what I know.''
The reason being is Neuheisel is uncertain about UCLA's depth.
"I don't know how quickly our freshmen will respond," he said, "but a year from now I have a feeling we'll be in much better shape."
Good Judgement Coach Neuheisel! Consult the player. First year as new coach is going to be difficult. The year after more predictable. Option is open for the right circumstances this year - maybe.
I would consider this season a success if UCLA is "in" every game and manages to win most of the time.
