On Jasper and UCLA
I spoke to Paso Robles High coach Scott Larson today about one of his former players, guard Derek Jasper, who is transferring from Kentucky and has been contacted by UCLA.
Larson said Bruins assistant Scott Duncan recruited Jasper for Oregon when Duncan was an assistant there, and he is again the one who spoke with Jasper recently about UCLA.
"(UCLA) is a school that is in the running,'' Larson said. "I think he wants to make a decision and get started, but I don't think he wants to rush through it."
UCLA has requested Jasper's transcripts, and Larson said he spoke to Duncan as well about his former player.
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.
