Checking in

Hey all,

Arrived at my Corvallis hotel room about three minutes ago. For those of you still around for the ride, sorry I was MIA: Didn't realize travel would take me more than eight hours. But I'm here, and I have some great one-on-one interviews from Pac-10 Media Days for the hoopheads, and a chat with FOOTBALL Josh Smith about his time at UCLA so far.
Also, I spoke with BASKETBALL recruit Josh Smith last night, and he said he'd call after his official visit to Washington this weekend.

Chime in with questions here or at jon.gold@dailynews.com, and check out my Twitter account all day tomorrow at DNJGInsideUCLA.

Thanks guys,
Jon
