Good, I've always had an affinity for UCLA, but please, catch up with RECRUITS from out west!!

Haha blame the West recruiting class for being down this year. And the small pocket of elite kids we do have out here for 2014, like Adoree and Juju Smith, are Southern Cal homers who still have some fanciful notion of playing for their "dream" school stuck in their heads even as that ship sinks and capsizes right before their eyes. So we gotta find future Bruins somewhere!

Next year, I doubt you hear more than a small peep out of UCLA in the South, as 2015 is one of the best and deepest recruiting classes in the West in the last 20 years, so there won't be much need to venture out of our backyard. Bet we'll be hearing more about LSU recruiting California next year and the complaints being in reverse in the run up to Signing Day 2015 haha.
