Hoops recruiting
From what I'm hearing, UCLA's focus is on a handful of prospects for the 2009 class. The Bruins already have commitments from Modesto Christian's Reeves Nelson and Rocklin's Branden Lane.
UCLA coach Ben Howland was in Washington to watch the Bellarmine Prep duo of Abdul Gaddy and Avery Bradley. The Bruins are also interested in Sylmar's Tyler Honeycutt, Moreno Valley's Michael Snaer and Renaissance Academy's Anthony Stover.
While things in recruiting change quickly, I'm told not to expect a commitment from anyone until next month, at the earliest.



The kid from Rocklin is Brendan Lane, and I will be "scouting" him this season because I live only a few miles from his high school. He could turn out to be another Ryan Anderson.
