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.
Does this mean we have a shot at him? Was this his doing or did we push for it? How does USC feel about this? If we did push for it, isn't it kind of not cool to do so knowing he is committed to SC already? I mean, isn't there some unwritten coaching code on fair practices?
No, it doesn't necessarily mean we have a legit shot at him. Many programs, especially ones at the top (like OSU, LSU, SUC, Georgia, etc) urge their recruits to go out and "see" what else is out there. The coaches suggest this once they know their recruit is a solid commit. It's a strategy that pays out more often than not. It's not limited to the corrupt toejams across town.
