Heavy recruiting push coming on Junior Day

UCLA’s annual "Junior Day" is coming up March 8 and Bruin team members and the coaching staff will be talking up the benefits of coming to the nation’s most popular university . . . at least by the number of admission applications received.

According to sources close to the program and reports on Scout.com, UCLA has offered scholarships to at least the following high school players:

> Tyler Gaffney (6-1, 215), running back from San Diego Cathedral HS

> Cierre Wood (6-0, 200), running back from Oxnard Santa Clara HS

> Shaquelle Evans (6-2, 190), wide receiver from Inglewood HS

> Je’Ron Stokes (6-1, 180), wide receiver from Northeast (Philadelphia, Pa.) HS

> Todd Golper (6-1, 225), linebacker from Arcadia HS

> Manti Te’o (6-2, 225), linebacker from Punahou (Honolulu, Hi.) HS

Plus cornerback Marlon Pollard (6-0, 165) from San Bernardino Cajon HS, who has already made a verbal commitment to attend UCLA.

These recruits and a bevy of others who are offensive and defensive linemen, an emphasis for the 2009 class, will tour the campus, meet with Bruin head Coach Rick Neuheisel and the position coaches and attend the UCLA-California basketball game in Pauley Pavilion.

If you are telling me that UCLA did not invite or offer Davon Flournoy the WR from Birmingham high school a schollership then that will explain why USC always has more talent than UCLA Davon Flournoy is the best WR in California , Notre Dame did not offer him a schollership for no reason they are going after the best talent in the nation regardless of what a recruiting service has to say everyone from Birmingham knows why Pete Carrol was at 3 Birmingham games last year he was there for Davon Flournoy and after Davon signs with USC and score 3 TD's on UCLA in the Rose Bowl then mabe UCLA will learn how to recruit
