Holliday picks up UCLA offer

Scout.com’s Brandon Huffman is reporting that Oaks Christian wide receiver Blair Holliday has been offered a scholarship by UCLA, after helping lead the Lions to a CIF championship win over Westlake.

I’ve been high on Holliday for a while now, after covering some of his games for the Daily News and seeing him around UCLA, and I thought UCLA should have offered Devin Lucien and him sooner. With Shaquelle Evans coming in next season and every wide receiver returning, there isn’t a tremendous need for more than one or two wideouts in this class, but if the Bruins can stay in the mix for Devon Blackmon and Tobias Singleton, they would be in good shape.

Obviously, the hiring of the wide receiver coach, or at least the reassignment of duties, as Rick Neuheisel did not rule out coaching the position himself during the conference call on Saturday, becomes all the more important.
