OL Edwards turns to Cal

Donovan Edwards, the offensive line commit who was taking summer school classes in an effort to become eligible for UCLA, has changed his commitment and will now enroll at California.
I will have more on this later today.

Jersey talk

I’ll be honest, I don’t know how important this story is, but it seems to be a hot-button issue for UCLA and USC football fans. Anyway, here is the story I wrote on the possibility of the rules committee changing a rule so UCLA and USC could both wear their home jerseys when the teams meet in 2009.

Info will have to wait

With training camp opening Aug. 5, UCLA sent out a press release with many of the usual rules associated with practice, but also with a new part.
Despite practices being open to the public, meaning anyone can post anything on an internet message board or place a comment on a blog (including this one), the school is stating “No live reports/blogging are permitted during practice.”
In other words, any non-media member can go to Spaulding Field and post practice updates while practice is taking place, but media members cannot. So I will be posting blog material before and immediately after every practice.

Snaer update

UCLA and Moreno Valley Rancho Verde wing/guard Michael Snaer apparently have split on the recruiting front, with Snaer no longer listing UCLA as a favorite and UCLA no longer recruiting him.
According to Travis Showalter, Snaer’s high school coach, the Bruins coaching staff did not follow Snaer during the Las Vegas AAU tournament.
“They didn’t come to many of his games in Vegas and they’re looking elsewhere as well,” Showalter said. “Immediate playing time is important, and that’s going to be difficult to get with the kids (UCLA) has going in there, unless a bunch of them leave after next season.”
Showalter said Snaer’s top four schools are Marquette, Missouri, Stanford and Florida State.
