Weekly Q&A

first off your doing a great job.
i think ucla's o-line misses eddie williams at gaurd its killing the rushing attack. How do you see the ground game vs ASU working with ryan taylor starting?

i would like to know what the plans for Presley are? Is he likely to be a go to guy at WR or are there plans to use him at TE again?
Also what is going on with the Ohio St transfer kid?

Can you give us any information (or as much as you're allowed to) on any silent commits in Football or Basketball?

I'm assuming Anthony Stover is on the BB team. Is there anything going with this guy? Status? Is he redshirting this year?

GOOD JOB JON IM ENJOYING YOUR BLOG...

WELL CAN YOU FIND OUT HOW BIG OF A CHANCE WE HAVE OF LANDING THE KID UKO? SORRY IF I GOT HIS NAME WRONG I JUST CANT REMEMBER HIS NAME RIGHT NOW

WHAT's GOING ON WITH THE RENOVATION OF PAULY PAVILLION? WHAT WAS THE NAME THAT WON IN NAMING THE WILDCAT OFFENSE? WHO DO YOU THINK STARTS THIS WEEK AT RUNNING BACK?

How many scholorships are available for next years class? Do you see many potential transfers next year as a result of over signing?

Robert Kibble? How is his health? I think either last year or this year would be his senior year, was he around the football program last year or of this one?

After this year, is sean sheller moving back to offensive tackle, or does he have a future on the defensive line?

Do you think we will beat USC this year in football?

On a scale of 1 to 10, how good of a coach do you think Rick Neuhisel is?

Do you think Richard Breheut should have been redshirted?

It was reported UCLA said "no thanks" to Darrell Scott as a transfer. I know UCLA has nice depth at RB, but no one has really emerged as an every down back to be feared. Are they that sure he's not the answer and the talent they have or have coming is at least as good or better? Any insights? Thanks.
Enjoy your blog and nothing against BD, but have enjoyed your enthusiasm and coverage more.
Thanks again.

Given the number of decent to good freshmen QBs in the Pac-10, will 2012 be a Defensive Coordinators nightmare?

E J Woods, 2008 recruit, is playing at Eastern Arizona CC. Any idea what happens after this year because I thought at one time the UCLA coaches were interested in him coming back.

Which other recruits are UCLA focusing on the most for the 2010 basketball? Terrence Jones? Trey Zeigler? Ray McCallum?

Any other likely recruits for the 2010 basketball season?

Not to belabor the point for the 10,000 time, but is there any drive behind fixing the posting delay?

Also, Bio-Dome or Thunderdome?

HOW MUCH PLAYING TIME DO YOU THINK BOBO GETS THIS YEAR?
A BIG POST PRESENCE WOULD BE A HUGE HELP FOR US IMO.

Where do you think Uko, Barr, and Owamagbe Odighuzuwa end up signing? I think we get 2 out of 3

In your opinion, what do you think the starting defense will look like next year?

Who do you think will end up transferring next year?

UCLA has so many young basketball players. Which one or two players need to develop the most over the course of this season to help the team win?

Greetings, Jon! Football- Aside from the Pullard/Shirley/Uko/Barr efforts, where do we stand with Taula/Lagafuaina/Richardson (Paul & Shaq)/Christian/T-Jeff? I know I'm being greedy but, hey, when the gettin's good...Basketball- How we doing with Ray McCallum/Trey Zeigler? And, do you know of any "sleepers" yet to be identified that those in the know know? Who locally should we be watching for this year? Thanks!!!

To what does coach Palcic attribute the recent improvement in line play? Also, which aspect of their play is most responsible for their improved results as a group?

Can you post a list of all the players that are red-shirting/ or will end up red-shirting this year. Thanks.

Any chance of UCLA wearing the Beban throwbacks for the USC game?

What incoming recruits, if any, will get a significant amount of playing time?

What redshirt freshmen (or ineligible transfers) will be most likely to make an immediate impact on the depth chart?

Reeves Nelson looks no taller than 6'5". Am I wrong?

why was nelson pulled and not put in the game after he was so productive while he was in?

Are Pressley and Randal Carroll still in CRN's dog house? Will Pressley be available to play against Arizona State?

Thanks for everything - your blog is a great read!

Sunset

Are there any thoughts from coaches on Honnycutt? What will his role be when he is healthy? Any chances he will redshirt?

who are the other OL UCLA is recruiting? Who do we have a good chance with?

Jon,
Does the Reformed Droog have any idea that there are several medications on the market to help with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder? Can you let him know that he is the only one who cares about his thoughts being immediately posted on the blog....

If Josh Smith graduated in December, he doesn't care about missing the rest of his HS season, and since we have an extra schollie could he play in Jan. I have never seen nor heard of this, was wondering if it was legal? The football players enroll early every now and then.

Sometimes the important questions need to be asked: In high-school, Reeves Nelson sported a full mop of tightly curled hair. Is his hair naturally curly, or was it a perm? Does he have any plans to go back to the curly look, or is his new style designed to project a "tougher" image?

Why isn't Bobo Morgan playing?

Any information on whether Brendan Lane and/or Anthony Stover will redshirt?

Has Josh Smith signed his LOI yet? It was supposed to be done today

Did you ask Coach Howland if the team has been shooting this poorly in practice?

It seemed to me that Malcolm Lee was shooting a lot three-pointers in Monday's game. It didn't seem to me that he has that kind of range. Am I mistaken?

Any updates on Josh Ship and Alfred Aboya? Are they playing hoops professionally anywhere?

which offensive player are you most disappointed in this year? What about on defense?

Can you update us on Honeycutt's injury status?

Who are the recruits visiting for the final home game this year?

My friends son played against Jerime Anderson in high school, and he told me he does not understand why UCLA would offer him a scholarship. After seeing him play the other night I might have to agree. Are we wrong?

Why is Milton Knox not being given more of a chance to play? It seems like every time he gets in the game he makes some good plays. Is it a problem with his blocking or receiving?

Recruiting question:

USC crumbling always seems like good times for the rest of the Pac-10 but it opens up another level of recruiting for them as well.

Running backs Stafon Johnson, Joe McKnight and CJ Gable are all going to go to the NFL draft early, leaving only "power" tailback Allen Bradford with QB Matt Barkley as locks for playing time next year. On defense they only have Chris Galippo (sp?) as a guaranteed starter.

So basically, there are just under 20 starting spots that are up for grabs. Immediate playing time has been a selling point only UCLA has been able to use locally. Did the "fall of troy" happen too quick and/or soon?

Does UCLA have a Plan B if they don't get Ray McCallum? Also, are they interested in Jordin Mayes?
