Just got off the phone with four-star athlete Dylan Robinson.

He was among the final official visitors from Thursday to Saturday. His top four is Notre Dame, UCLA, Utah and Washington.

He hopes to reach a decision near the end of July. An official set date will likely be announced soon.

His father has a longstanding relationship with Bruins safety coach Brian Norwood.

Robinson is being looked at as a receiver by Notre Dame. Though, he said UCLA is open to the idea of working him in at receiver for a few snaps.

I’ll have a full story published in the morning.

In an ideal world, with 10 spots left, I would love to see:
2 OL
3 DL
1 WR
1 RB
1 LB
1 CB
1 S

Zech Fort put out a top 13 that included UCLA today.

Also included were Alabama, Florida, Florida State, Georgia, Miami, Michigan, Nebraska, Notre Dame, Ohio State, Oklahoma, Tennessee and Washington.

Fort is originally from Southern California, with ties to the Long Beach area. He was offered back in early March.

As you might remember, the Downey (Calif.) Warren three-star recruit told me after his official visit and appearance at UCLA’s 7-on-7 camp that he will be announcing his college decision July 4.

Arizona, Texas-San Antonio and UCLA are his finalists.

Matthew Muasau, a 2026 linebacker at St. John Bosco, announced just moments ago he has an offer from UCLA.

He’s related to former two-year starter Darius Muasau.

Not long after the offer to Matthew Muasau, another linebacker in the class picked up an offer.

Ikaika Malloe was out in Kahuku, Hawaii earlier this spring to catch up with LeBron Williams, who ended up committing to Cal. But he also built a connection with Malaki Soliai-Tui.

Soliai-Tui took a past trip to Westwood in 2022.

“I have visited UCLA before with my pylon team rebel squad back in 2022 for a pylon tournament. Also, coach Malloe recently came down to our spring ball practices and offered one of my teammates Lebron Williams,” he told me moments ago.

He breaks down what stands out about each school to Adam Gorney:

Done deal! Epi Sitanilei has announced his commitment to UCLA over Ohio State, Utah and Cal. A major local pickup for the Bruins and a big piece of the class. He's only been improving heading into his senior season and believes he found his right fit with UCLA. I spoke with him ahead of his announcement to discuss why staying home made the most sense and a lot more.

You can read the story from Tracy and I above.

“Those connections right there and what they were able to produce with the past (defensive ends) and Jay (Toia), as well as Latu, it’s pretty evident to me what they could do with me. That much love, it can’t go unnoticed for me. … Going out to the school and them consistently showing it throughout the whole process, it really showed me…where I am on their spectrum and where I am on their board.”

Announced his offer earlier today:

Second in as many days

Just caught up with him:

I’ll be out in Bellflower at St. John Bosco HS later this morning.

Along with SJB will be Arroyo, Carlsbad, Corona del Mar, Righetti, Salinas, San Clemente and Serra.

Among those competing, it will be another chance to get at look at 2026 WR target Madden Williams.

Does anyone want to take a guess on what the two deep will look like before camp? I genuinely don’t have an educated guess.

The story:

I’d be interested to see if this means defensive analyst Scott White will be the unofficial inside linebackers coach to free up defensive coordinator Ikaika Malloe to roam a bit more.

Catching up on this now since it happened while I was out at the camp. A four-star Rivals100 recruit in the 2026 class.

As previously mentioned, Loyola will be among the schools at the UCLA 7-on-7 camp that goes from about noon to 7 p.m.

The double-elimination tournament will include hands-on training by the UCLA coaches.

Who are the remaining players we have offered and/ or are targeting for the 2025 class?

As they lost their top two 2025 defensive verbals. Couldn’t happen to a more deserving pile of dung. Let the trend continue.
