Presley commits

| | Comments (25) |

Just got off the phone with Morrell Presley, who said he committed to UCLA tonight. The Carson High tight end was a USC commit, but said he made the switch because he liked UCLA for a long time, I will have more later.

I was one of those doubters kept on hearing about Presley this Presley that I couldn't care less as Bruin fan. I needed concrete evidence because to me it doesn't make since to go after Sc commits because to me it was wasted time; time spent wisely on scouting but again I am proven wrong.

Welcome to UCLA Morrell!!!Hopefully this commitment will sway others to come to UCLA. This is only the beginning of what is to come with CRN, Chow, & Walker. I believe!

Get used to this--Pressley stays in to block--no use, another sack. Just a guy who knows he couldn't play at a real football school. Monopoly over? LOL....

Great for UCLA, but the whole notion that he committs to UCLA is as meaningful as his commitment to USC. What does it say about this kids character?

Yes Jackass, the monopoly is over. Go troll somewhere else.

what a dopey comment. Kids switch all the time. Are you saying that about byron moore who switched to SUC from UCLA or any number of Suc guys that switched the last few years. He was offered early and now reevaluated and choose the right school

wonder if this effects Ertz or Sanders?

John Henry said:

This is a great get for UCLA Football. It will be funny to start seeing many of the SUC trolls begin to question Morrell's character (see above comment). These same SUC trolls will begin saying that they REALLY didn't want him or need him! LOL.

Wow i did not expect this, huge commit for CRN and UCLA. This gives us another tall athletic receiver and a pretty good blocker as well. And as long as were going after SUC commits, I wouldn't mind having Carroll or Burfict on our side either. But great job coaching staff and welcome Morrell.

Ertz looks like a long shot, Sanders might play DE.

Mr. Dohn,

I would interested in an article discussing Neuheisel's method of swaying this guy away from USC. Was there some sort of magic to it? How did Rick think to go sway this guy in the first place?

And, does this guy have the grades to go to UCLA?

Would love to see Burfict switch, this kids was a man among boys as a JR.

Just go back to when he hired Norm Chow. Norm cHow turned him down something like 3 times. If Dohn could find Chow's comments about Rick persuasive abilities when he got hired, that would be very apropos.

Burfict does not have the grades...
He might not even get into USC. He is a BEAST though.

"I called Coach (Rick) Neuheisel up and let him know I was ready to become a Bruin," Presley told Scout.com. "I just felt more comfortable with the players and the coaches at UCLA. I grew up with a couple of the players and I felt like Coach Neuheisel would make me into not only a better football player but into a better man."
