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.
Wow, Harkey has already made the 2-deep at TE as a true frosh? Did Moya get hurt? Or just surpassed?
No surprise with Rosario making the 2-deep at wideout.
What about Savage? Did he get hurt as well
Wow Savage isnt even on the two deep!
Impressive that Chandler is already with the ones.
if KIA starts does BENNETT sit or does he move someone else off the starting 5? Palcic wants his best 5, i gotta believe he can start over Ekbatani or Chandler...
I should have split Savage at the backup guard spots. One of the issues, though, with him is he is not getting his assignments as much as possible.
What happens if Chandler goes down? Does Ekbatani play LG and RT at the same time?
Wow, the converted TE has a lot of responsibility. I kind of like this.
Gotta love Palcic and the rest of the staff re-evaluating the players. It is going to be a good year.
BRUIN NC:
I'm sure they slide Glicksberg in at LG and move Ekbatani to RT. This two-deep was likely set because Ekbatani understands the blocking assignments at RT better, since he was learning the position during training camp, and I don't believe Glicksberg was.
