FB recruiting update
I spoke with Narbonne receiver/defensive back Byron Moore Jr. today, who is being recruited hard by UCLA. He said he had offers from UCLA and Arizona, and is getting mail from LSU, Arizona State, Oregon, Penn State, Colorado and Texas.
"When I went (to UCLA) for their junior day a few weeks ago,I really loved it,'' Moore said. "They didn't offer me then, but they called a few days later and offered me. But I wanted to wait and take my time."
Moore also said he grew up a USC fan, and attended games at the Coliseum. He added that a few weeks ago he went to USC on an unofficial visit and spent three hours speaking with the coaching staff.
Given his druthers, Moore said "I would like to stay close to home. Right now, I want to make a decision probably before my season starts."
Moore is being recruited as a safety, and he said he wants to play defense.
About Inside UCLA
This is Brian Dohn's sixth season covering UCLA after spending 4 1/2 years covering the Dodgers for the Daily News and other Los Angeles Newspaper Group papers. He graduated from Rutgers, where the first college football game was played in 1869. Sure, the Scarlet Knights suffered for a long time, but now RU is doing what Jerseyans always thought was possible. Winning at Rutgers also proves winning is possible everywhere else in the nation, so underachieving coaches better be careful. Now, if only men's hoops can turn it around.
