Hobbi picks USC; what’s next for UCLA?

The Bruins once again lost out on a top target, as chose USC over UCLA and Arizona State earlier today.

Here is a look at some remaining targets for UCLA (using Scout.com rankings), though the situation is getting very dire.

#3 LB Tony Steward
Odds: The latest news is that the Bruins are very much in the mix for Steward, though I still believe it’s a FSU/Clemson battle. Stranger things have happened, though.

#24 DT Kevin McReynolds
Odds: McReynolds still has UCLA in his top four, but its a bit too earlier to tell which way he’s going.

#44 WR Devin Lucien
Odds: Lucien’s offer came a bit later than expected, but the Bruins are definitely in the mix for the Crespi star, if not the favorites.

I’ve been told by people close to Blair Holliday that he intends to stick with Duke, meanwhile, but the Bruins are expecting a visit from long-time USC commit Jalen Grimble this weekend.

Love Sniffs Out An All-Star Bid

Minnesota Timberwolves forward and former UCLA star Kevin Love has had a sensational season, but now the T-Wolves are making one final push to get him into the All-Star Game.

A five-point Arizona half-time lead turned into 10 in the first 40 seconds of the second half, and UCLA was on the ropes.

The Bruins swayed a bit, mustered a couple punches in return, but ultimately could not recover in an 85-74 loss that snaps a four-game winning streak.

“We were down five at the half, and then they score five unanswered to go up, and it was (Derrick Williams) both times,” Howland said. “Maybe I should’ve started Anthony Stover in the second half.”
