Check out the first batch of weekly answers…

1) FOOTBALL: Can you please let us know about the status of Darius Bell, quarterback from SFCC. There are persistent rumors on the Internet about him that (1) he’s coming to UCLA and (2) he’s so great that he’s going to start ahead of Prince and relegate Brehaut to a red shirt year. For the record, I don’t believe any of it. – UCLA ’64
From what I’ve heard, Bell is still clearing some academic hurdles, but is still a good shot. Bell is a very, very good quarterback, and I think he could certainly thrive in the Revolver, but all the hype is a bit premature, I’d think.

2) How many WR’s are we looking at taking this recruiting season? any names you see us in the running for? – MaltBaa
I would say given the tight scholarship situation and a relative surplus at least for the next two seasons, two would be the max. As it stands, of UCLA’s offers out there, only two have verbally committed elsewhere: Up to date list

3) When are the incoming freshmen allowed to come in and start using the facilties? – Maltbaa
I think in mid-June.

4) Should we be concerned that neuheisal seems to take a non-proactive approach when it comes to recruiting? We pulled in a couple of good players last year but that was probably due to a coaching change at usc (like with Riley). Can our football team survive with that approach, especially with the commitments usc has already for 2011? appreciate it. – Anonymous
You guys are such incredible fatalists. How in the world does Neuheisel have a NON-PROACTIVE approach?!? Three straight top-10 recruiting classes. Geez, man, get off the ledge. Neuheisel has a certain number of scholarships – if anything, he’s probably telling guys NOT to commit this early.

5) Do we have any silent verbals? – Maltbaa
Yes.
