Recruiting Race
Although Pete Carroll did not respect Rick Neuheisel and Neuheisel did not really like Carroll, looking at the current number of early commits made me think maybe Neuheisel's adopted a Carroll strategy.
USC's got six commitments so far while UCLA has none, the only school in the Pac-10 without. Neuheisel might be waiting like Carroll used to for the summer camps and fall season to evaluate. Or maybe he just hasn't convinced anyone to pick UCLA yet.



Unfortunately for Cal Jr., Rick Neuheisel hasn't been able to adopt Pete Carroll's ability to dominate the Pac-10.
Chances are that Slick Rick will get into some more trouble and cut-and-run out of town before that changes.
If only I could call my constant whiffing a strategy.
he hasn't convinced anyone. that simple period
It worked with keeping Norm Chow from jumping ship to Camp Kiffin, right?
Mr. Wolf, I think the major issue with your assumption is that all of the USC commits also received a UCLA offer.
I am stil not sold on Neuheisel as a coach but I do give him credit as a good recruiter.
He is waiting or he hasn't convinced anyone to pick UCLA.
Genius.
What are the other choices?
"Or maybe he just hasn't convinced anyone to pick UCLA yet."
DING, DING, DING WE HAVE A WINNER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

211. Robbery is the felonious taking of personal property in the possession of another, from his person or immediate presence, and against his will, accomplished by means of force or fear.
Rick will outrecruit Lame Quiffin' with his eyes closed before the summer is over...furthermore, Rick does not recruit players he knows won't get admitted into the school.
I can't believe it took 9 comments before one of the trolls rolled out the familiar old "he wouldn't qualify at UCLA" bit. I had the over/under at four. Check Rivals Rob, UCLA offered EVERY kid that committed to USC. Can't you guys mix in an occasional "he's got character issues" or "we're already set at his position?" I mean, using one excuse for every recruiting miss/failure in football and basketball over the last 30 years is a little old.
Oh Jeez, BruinRob get serious! LMAO you've got to be kidding right? LOf'nL!
It's sure taking a long time to come up with the ransom money.The deadline is Friday and then watch the early recruits start to run. Too bad none are smart enough to qualify for UCLA.
To Lance Kiffin, UCLA with hope they can qualify to get in, it's like throwing spitball at the wall, one of them is bound to stick. Re: "character issues" you nailed bud! 3 trogans in the news in the last 30 days having MAJOR character issues Bruins - 0 reported character issues...Re: "we're set at his position" hell yeah we are! we need no RBs and no LBs and no DBs, we just a couple more OL and that's it...Bruins going UP...while SUC going down...get ready for the death penalty this friday for repeated violalation...don't give rat's behind about your "cash cow" BS. Troy will be crashing into oblivion in 3 more days.
To torpedoman: nope, I'm dead serious.
Wow! The Bucket's a felon, it's a jungle out there.
Are you "trogan" fans getting nervous?? you should! LMAO
!!! oh no you just din't!!!
the only think ChuckerBucker is guilty of is being charming and unbelievably witty!!!
guilty as chaaaaaaarged!!!
you can take that to the bank!!!
AUUUUU-WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
actually, you can take that to the bank...as long as i don't get there first!!! hehr hehr herh!!
I feel so much better knowing the sanctimonious Pete Carroll does not respect CRN. Pete is the gold standard for ethics.
B-rob, the reason you don't read about the bRuins that are in trouble with the law is because they are GOOD enought to be newsworthy. About the only guy you get in the paper is that big a$$ stupid bill walton. What a dbag. boo hoo A WSU player low bridged him. "dirty" There wasn't a bigger cheat tan that big goofy ugly walton. Learned his dirty play from filthy wooden.
As coach at UCLA I thought commenting on a USC blog would be the best way to reach the greatest number of Bruin faithful. It seems more of us care about what happens there than on our own field, I know I do.
When the NCAA doesn't "hammer" USC in the coming weeks I will be scheduling a group therapy session at Pauley Pavilion. We'll refocus our attention on our eventual up and coming program, talk about how 6-6 is a successful season, revisit my innovative "punting is winning" theory and take names of anyone that actually wants to play for the powder blue and gold.

Dear NOBS:
I had a list of 32 Trojans arrests within in the Pete Carroll era, (one was befrore the Carroll era, OJ Simpson, double murderer) that stemed from Rape accusations to holding up liquor stores, possesion of drugs, etc. etc. However the list did'n get past the editor of this blog...I know, I know you will say: "what about the handicapped placards?"...we could have a thousand of those incidents and it still would not equal to ONE arrest for Rape...there are FOUR rape arrests from Trogans, all within the Cheatie Carroll era: Eric Wright, Herschel Dennis, Darrell Russell, and Mark Sanchez...NUFF SAID!! LMAO.
BruinRob,
I hope you're spending as much time searching Monster.com as you are writing absurdly long comments on this blog, or you're never going to find a job.
B-boop, you could get sued by Herschel. He was NEVER charged. Neither was Darrell Russell (RIP) or Mark Sanchez. You are full of crap. I guess breaking and entering, like your assistant coach did, is nothing. Just like Fucla, NOTHING.
84, he does have a job. He mows my lawn and washes my car right after he gets off working for la la crappy at McD's
Dear Cafe 84:
I call my own shots, but thank you for your concern. Have a nice day.
Not excusing the behavior, but Darryl Russell was not a Pete Carroll player...He was a John Robinson Recruit. Eric Wright and Hershel Dennis were...and everyone knows the Mark Sanchez story.
Wow, I'm speechless....there's fan obsession/hatred and then there's Bruin Rob. Sports are supposed to be fun and entertainment, go outside, get a hobby, do something before you stab somebody the next time UCLA loses to USC and you snap. Seriously...
Geez, are we supposed to talk about the sale of cadavers, kidney transplants for yakuza, burned research assistants, etc. on a sports blog? Nice to know that Bruins obsess enough about USC to actually make a list.
Is that Nestor's list? (Or whatever his name is.) The guy who flipped out because a UCLA-alum politician gave some random commendation to USC?
ZERO recruits for ucla! I had no idea that - while USC was attracting 5 star recruits like bees to pollen - the bruins were unable to draw even a winning punter.
pour a pound of sugar on me and throw me in a vat of molasses, wolfie. that is a sweet scoop of ben n' jerry's ice cream.
Hey NOBS, learn to read, you ding-bat! it says he was arrested...just like the other three sexual predators, but of course we all know USC owns LAPD and the court system in L.A., so of course MIRACULOUSLY the charges were dropped - fishy don't you think? I wonder if YOU or I would be so lucky, my guess is NOT.
University of
Stupid
Criminals
Would the last UCLA troll out of here, please sweep up the joint, like you normally do, you clowns are making a mess of the place?
It is getting more difficult everyday to determine if this is a Trojan blog or some third world country club for bRuin losers.
rBuinBob
Relax a bit dude, everybody knows UCLA has never, ever, had an athlete commit a crime or even been arrested. We all know it has to be USC's fault athletes commit crimes and get arrested whether or not they are attending class here. Take a deep breath and maybe a Xanax, everything is going to be ok. Whatever the sanctions are, if any, the school will be standing Friday and the athletes will continue to play the games we all love. No need to be a hater here, we all know from where your angst is born, its Cardinal and Gold baby!
How did BruinRob compile that list?-- He mentioned names I had not thought about in years. It is interesting how a bruin can be so obsessed with Trojan history, albeit quite negatively biased.
But putting down Desmon Farmer for "constantly taunting bruin and Pauley fans," is priceless. First, I was at all the games Desmon played at Pauley, and he was not taunting anybody, even after victory. Second, if this is the most egregious "crime" a bruin can accuse a Trojan of, then we are doing pretty well for ourselves.
Ah, BruinRob, I knew you would respond to my post, just as I knew that your supposed career of "shot-calling" must leave you plenty of time to troll around on this blog and read my post.
You are the personification of that old joke about how USC fans obsess about USC football, and UCLA fans obsess about USC football. Your unhinged post this morning listed over 30 USC players. I suspect that most USC fans could not name 30 UCLA players if their lives depended on it.
Let's see... there was Brian Price last year. Um, Troy Aikman, he went to UCLA. Oh, and we can't forget Drew Jones-Maurice!
Admit it, BruinRob -- when Drew Jones-Maurice is alone with just himself and his thoughts, he mutters "If I'd just gone to USC -- that could have been MY Heisman!"
B-rob, enough is enough. Now get your a$$ over here and wash my car. BTW, I'm not as dumb as you are. I'd never even think of getting myself in a position to be arrested. But then again, I'm a Trojan, not a bRuin. (U probably aren't either one...Trade Tech?)
Rob you are just plain john woodie and that criminal they call truth-charlie bucket, rob on bRuins
bRuinBob,
I wanna play the "make a new name game". Here is my entry for UCLA:
University of
Constantly
Losing
A$$holes
ucla gets some good players, but they never seem to do anything with them
usc gets great players who hardly ever get to play
i want to see lala kiffen do some vasaline wrestling
time to wrap up this string...boys, it is quite a moot point to argue which school has more transgressors (as if there was even a remote comparison) but notwithstanding the minor details of this or that guy, the entire conversation is resolved with just two letters: O.J.
the greatest footballer at the self proclaimed football school is synonymous with murder and justice denied. how abysmal. while the faces of UCLA are universally loved (Wooden, Jackie Robinson, Arthur Ashe, Kareem, Rafer Johnson etc) the face of Southern Cal is, was and always will be: O.J.
thanks for playing, buh-bye.
And there is its, the same day UCLA ROB gets banned, BruinRob appears.
Now weren't you told a few threads back that you lost your "trogan" rights? You remember - when you defended the intelligence of Maurice Jones-Drew by saying "the GUYS IS articulate."
At least you took my advice and stopped trying to think for yourself and just cut-and-paste something another angry little bruin wrote and claim it as your own.
The problem is that you stole the most recognizable bruin diatribe. People bring that tired list over from bruinsnation every few months.
And now you just look like the Carlos Mencia of trolls.
Take some time to think, get some help if you need it. Then I want you to come back to this thread and try again.
oh one more thing....AUUUUUU-WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Actually BruinRob, maybe you shouldn't strain yourself by trying to put a complete thought together. Follow Charlie Bucket's lead and play the clown, stick to fart jokes and animal noises.
And Wolf's cesspool gets murkier and murkier
??? i never made any f*rt jokes??
insofar as animal noises: guilty as chaaaaarged!!!
AUUUUUUUU-WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
BruinRob went to cry.
It's down to you Charlie Bucket.
Go back to telling us how that dirtbag John Wooden, the athletes he bought and his filthy titles are supposed to be respected.
