I know I’ve blogged numerous times about Kevin Prince arriving at UCLA for August training camp, as long as the school has a scholarship to offer. Here is what Bruins coach Rick Neuheisel said about it.
“I would say I would do it in a heartbeat if I had the scholarship,” Neuheisel said. “I’m looking through the numbers, and right now the priority is to get offensive linemen, and so I can’t say he’s definitely coming.”
As I’ve written about lately, I’m hearing UCLA expects to have a scholarship available for Prince.

Neuheisel and ‘SC video
A few weeks ago, while I was on vacation, there was quite a bit of chatter about UCLA coach Rick Neuheisel using the (USC assistant) Brandon Carroll walk-on video in recruiting against the Trojans.
In talking to my sources, they did not think Neuheisel used the video, or pointed it out to recruits, nor did Neuheisel tell his assistants to use the video to shed unfavorable light on the Trojans.
That said, the sources did not know if any of UCLA’s assistants used the video to recruit negatively against USC.

If Luc returns???
Joe Abunassar, who runs Abunassar Impact Basketball and is training Luc Richard Mbah a Moute, said UCLA will get a much better offensive player if Mbah a Moute returns for his senior season.
“With Luc, it’s footwork, being square (to the basket) and a lot of repetition,” Abunassar said. “If he can knock down shots, he becomes a really dangerous pro player because he’s got the long arms, can defend, has the body, he’s smart.
“We’re working out four or five hours a day shooting the ball, and confidence comes from that. …The UCLA coaches, they’re thrilled with Luc putting the work in because they’re supportive of Luc, and if he does come back, he’s a better player anyway. It’s a win-win.”
