Big visiting day
I'm hearing UCLA is expecting more than 70 recruits to be on unofficial visits and take in Bruins' game Saturday at the Rose Bowl against Arizona.
Also, from what I'm hearing, these are some of the high profile kids expected to be in attendance:
2009 class
TE/LB Marlion Barnett (Santiago ), MLB Jordan Barrett (Notre Dame), CB Nat Berhe (Colton), CB Bernard Bolden (Merced), DT Justin Brown (Compton), OL Jamaal Burrell (Dominguez), LB Marquise Cox (John W. North), Stanford commit TE Zac Ertz (Monte Vista), DE Sullivan Grosz (San Joaquin Memorial), USC commit S Patrick Hall (Saint Bonaventure), RB Daniel Jenkins (Rancho Verde), CB Sean Martin (Santiago), OL Michael Philipp (Arroyo Valley), Miami commit TE Billy Sanders (Lake City, Idaho), DT Will Sutton (Centennial), S Lester White (John W. North), LB Walter Woods (Palmdale)
UCLA commits for 2009
LB Isaiah Bowens (Bishop Amat), Richard Brehaut (Los Osos), LB Todd Golper (Arcadia), WR Ricky Marvray (Centennial), CB Sheldon Price (Bishop Amat)
2010 class
QB Brandon Connette (Santiago), OL Erik Kohler (Oaks Christian), LB Hayes Pullard (Crenshaw), DE Ronald Powell (Rancho Verde)
Also, LB Manti Te'o (Punahou High) will be on an official visit.
Wow, that's going to be about 75% of the attendance right there!
ok, cheap shot... probably just 50%
This is a very important game for recruiting. The Bruins have to show a lot of intensity and character from the locker room to the sidelines. A convincing win would be very nice....with that said, I think UCLA may lose 24-13 =(
You know who is conspicuously missing...Shaq Evans! Dag nabbit.
It is going to be extremely embarrassing when UCLA loses at home to UA and the stadium is practically empty in front of all those recruits.
Since when is 60,000 practically empty? UCLA hasn't even started school yet...60,000 in attendance would be Frank McCourt's wet dream...
They should give free admission to anyone that weighs 300+ lbs, and haven an open tryout for O Line.

You just want free tickets and a spot on the bench man. J/K. :)
