Post practice tidbits
A couple quickies from today's first practice:
QB Ben Olson looked good and received nice reviews from coach Rick Neuheisel and offensive coordinator Norm Chow. QB Kevin Craft struggled mightily, throwing high and off target often while QB Kevin Prince showed nice accuracy after getting rid of some early jitters.
The pace of practice was fast, and among the freshmen, RB Aundre Dean stood out.
Neuheisel said he was impressed with the speed and agility of RB Kahlil Bell, who practiced for the first time since tearing his ACL last October.
Also, Crespi High of Encino receiver Kevin Cummings and Oaks Christian High tight end Chris Coyle were in attendance. Coyle is an Arizona State commit, and I was told he remains a strong commit to ASU but came to practice because UCLA was asking him to do so, and because he has a few friends on the team.

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.
Brian-
Do you mind elaborating on what made Dean stand out? I'm very interested in his upcoming career. How about Knox - any reps for him?
WRONG about Donovan Edwards
