More Moore
Narbonne High's Byron Moore Jr. said the reason he committed to UCLA was a potpourri of reasons, but academics was the No. 1 thing.
He made the commitment after visiting Oregon on Saturday, but the Ducks didn't seem to be much of a threat. Moore said he wants to play safety at UCLA, and thinks he will fit in well at free safety, but the Ducks were recruiting him as a receiver.
"I like defense -- being able to make plays and hit people,'' Moore said. "I like to be the last man back there."

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.
I'm stoked about the 2 commitments this weekend, but when are some OL's gonna start committing?
Hey Brian- I know UCLA has a legitimate shot with Michael Philipp, but what do you think our chances are with Eric Shrive and Charles Siddoway?
Looks like our defensive secondary is set for a while. A few DTs, OGs and OTs would be welcomed right about now. These kids must know if they have the talent and FB IQ, they can start as freshmen.
