UCLA strength and conditioning coach Corey Miller shared an update on social media Monday, before the Bruins open spring camp tomorrow.

Over the last eight weeks, Miller shared a graphic that stated 546 pounds of muscle was gained and 353 pounds of fat was lost throughout the winter training sessions.

He has officially signed an NIL deal per internet report.
That’s a good start.

He was hurt much of last year and didn't contribute much to the 2024 season. I hope he finds another team and does well this year.

linked to UCLA...huge get, if true. This guy is a freak and would replace Schwesinger this coming season.

The hangup seems to be the NIL

Thoughts from the 2026 Sherman Oaks (Calif.) Notre Dame product over the weekend:

The latest two months after my last update on the Los Angeles-Loyola standout, with a few important developments since that day in late January.

And UCLA has made an equally strong impression as others get involved:

UCLA's #1 ranked Bruins hung on for a 72-67 Elite Eight win over Kim (look at my outfit) Mulkey's #3 ranked LSU Tigers. UCLA's Gardiner and Jaquez were clutch from the 3 in the 2nd half especially in the 4th quarter. Nothing like having clutch players. The Bruins take on the winner of UConn/USC next Friday.

An update on JuJu Johnson and Donte’ Wright after landing offers from UCLA on their unofficial visit Sunday.

Got more from Johnson than Wright since I spoke to Johnson at the photoshoot and only exchanged messages with Wright after.

Four-star Mission Viejo (Calif.) slot receiver Vance Spafford is committed to Georgia, but the two local Southern California programs have impressed him as he keeps his options open.

Spafford on the relationship with UCLA, USC, others, OVs & more:

According to The Athletic:

We need at least:
A wing, preferably a strong scorer who can guard bigger guys
A big
Another multiple position player

Depending on what players we get, we need another viable backup in addition to those 3.

We have at least two of the four in house in BW and Mara. Freeney could be the third if he’s willing to play limited minutes or play up a position if he’s added muscle. If we add those 3, we have starters at the 1,2,4,5 if Dailey will never be a true 3. In that case, either he or Bilo come off the bench and Bilo plays 13-15 minutes at both the 4 and 5 while Mara plays 25-27 at the 5 and Dailey plays 25-27 at the 4. BW becomes the emergency 4 and backup 3. We would need a starter at the 3.

If Dailey can play the 3, we need a starting quality big who can defend.

Can’t wait to see all the new coaches, especially Sunseri start to put their new roster together, and a brand new offense. . I’m excited for the Spring game….last season it was a gala fundraising event. Can they top it this year?

I for one am glad.

So far staying:
Clark
Perry
Dailey
Bilo

Looks likely:
BW
Freeney

No reputable news:
Mara
Mack

Likely gone:
Kyle
Andrews
DW

We need a scorer at the 3.

Unlike previous years, UCLA will no longer open the entirety of spring camp.

The program announced today that the April 5, April 18 (Friday Night Lights), April 26 and May 3 spring showcase at the Rose Bowl are the four practices open to the general public and media out of the 15 sessions.

Have read several reports. But on social media.

After last week looking at what has DC Ikaika Malloe intrigued heading into spring camp, a look at the other side of the ball and the many areas new OC Tino Sunseri is tasked with overseeing:

Arkansas CB commit Tay Lockett will be visiting UCLA for the start of spring camp April 1 and back for an official visit from June 13-15.

Earlier this month, he was in Westwood for the first time and he looked back on the trip:

To keep everything in one place, here’s who we know has official visits scheduled to UCLA. Will be updated accordingly.

March 14-16

JUCO edge Joshua Shanklin looked back on his official visit to UCLA earlier this month.

“All the coaches were welcoming, they did their absolute best to make UCLA feel like home.”

1. Why did he abandon Mara?
2. Was Dailey coached this year?
3. What is Cronin’s offense? Does he ever explain what he’s trying to do other than stall?
4. Why does Mick give up when plan A doesn’t work?
5. Did Cronin scout Tennessee? Does he think doubling the post is smart when you have a 7’3 guy in there and the opponent has two deadeye shooters?

Tip-off is roughly 20 minutes away

I hope our shooters are on and we ruin the plan for Tennessee early. Would love to see us break the press early and score some easy buckets.
