Earlier this morning, Scout.com’s Tracy Pierson reported that sources close to recruits have been told that Randy Shannon has been hired as UCLA’s defensive coordinator.

Shannon, the former Miami head coach, interviewed for the position on Sunday, and at that point, I was told UCLA had more interviews planned for the following week.

I’m getting conflicting answers from sources; assorted players and parents have said they’ve heard the same, but a source very close to the program says that it’s premature and that there are still more interviews to come.

I’ve tried to reach UCLA officials, but no luck yet this morning.

Will be updating as information comes in.
