Waiting for commitments
UCLA is hosting its one-day camp today, with more than 200 prospects on campus. After losing the commitment of Serra High receiver Paul Richardson last week (he is supposed to camp at UCLA), the Bruins enter the day without any commitments.
They are also the only team in the Pac-10 without a non-binding oral commitment, while conference leader Stanford has 15.
Here is the Pac-10 conference breakdown, according to Scout.com:
Stanford 15
Washington 9
USC 8
California 6
Washington State 4
Arizona 3
Oregon 3
Arizona State 2
Oregon State 1
UCLA 0

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.
NICE ! nothing like laying a goose egg . Bringing up the rear end of the PAC10 .
Brian is this a change in our recruiting approach?
Does the fact that SUC has some possible violations looming have anything to do with this?
Didn't we learn the value of early verbal commitments last year?
They don't mean anything.

Toma? oh Bruinswin!
Austin Hinder is coming to Cal =) =) =)
GO BEARS!!!
The trend here is so strong (0 commits), you know that Neuheisel has a much grander plan up his sleeve. Look at SC the last few years, all their commitments come late, because they can, they play for the big guns who always wait on or close to signing day. I think Neuheisel is waiting for the NCAA shoe to drop on SC, plus maybe get off to a strong start, and get the win over Tennessee. He does that, and next years class will make this years look weak. He doesnt want kids to commit to him, only to have to tell them he doesnt have room because 5 stars are knocking down the doors to get in.
I blame "Holistic Admissions" for CalGirl's posts
LOL! pr, so true, so true!
I would rather have Cal's (soft) commit at DT. Hinder? Meh.
USC's "late" commits were actually silent commits revealed at the end of recruiting. Last season they started revealing early and were the victims of negative recruiting (where recruiters from other schools talk trash about the program).
It looks like Neuheisel may be trying to avoid those traps. There's not way UCLA has no recruits by now.
Rivals is reporting that we have picked up a commitment from Washington DT Julious Moore, looks like we are back on the board... wooooo
Is it true that Julious Moore committed? Dohn were are you?
Crazy how some folks still cite "academic standards" when explaining why UCLA is never able to attract an abundance of good football talent.
If that were true, why would Stanford have 15 early commits (tops in the Pac-10 at this point)?
You can't tell me UCLA's admission standards for football recruits surpass those of Stanford!
Get A Clue!
Keep Hasiak =) we don't need him =)
With new gyms coming and fixed up Memorial Stadium ON CAMPUS with a beautiful view of the bay the best players WILL come =) =) =) youll see.
Laugh all you want about our Prius and stuff, i'm happy =) =) =) go veggie and dont be grouchy!!! hehehe... fun fun
Why would a top recruit committ to UCLA now? Until the so called Dream Team of coaches can win significant games or produces NFL talent, the program isn't that attractive. Los Angeles isn't enought to bring in good players. Until the focus is on what UCLA is doing and not what USC is doing, this team will be a middle of the pack Pac10 team.
I see u Cal girl, rep your school and don't worry about the haters!
Go Lakers!
