From their hiring a good HC, providing a pool of $5M for assistant coaches, raiding the transfer portal for good players, and now it looks like they are looking to return to the Big 12…probably the first to jump ship since UCLA/suc.

Davis Andrews is only taking four OVs before he makes a decision, and it started this weekend with UCLA (with Notre Dame, Utah and BYU to follow).

"I think UCLA is definitely at the top of my list. I'm only taking four officials so I kind of came in knowing that UCLA was high on my list, and this weekend kind of gave me a sense of 'Why not UCLA?'"

Full interview/story:

Caught up with him just as he was on the way back to Utah:

Is there any info on whether either of those two are coming back.

Matt and I went to watch four-star Bruins WR target Kwazi Gilmer last weekend at the Long Beach Tournament of Champions 7v7. I went in-depth with him about his recruitment, his six finalists and his Bruins OV this weekend.

Isaac Wilson, a four-star quarterback from the state of Utah, picked up a scholarship offer after a call with UCLA QBs coach Ryan Gunderson.

Wilson is the top-ranked player in Utah and he’s ranked 13th among quarterbacks nationally. His offers include Arizona, Arizona State, Miami, Oregon and Utah, among his 11 received.

He is the younger brother of New York Jets QB Zach Wilson.

Here at St. John Bosco and saw both D’Anton Lynn and Jerry Neuheisel out recruiting after the program’s spring game.

Ran into 4-star CB Marcelles Williams, who talked to both before leaving the field, and said he feels more like a priority now with the newer, younger coaches on the staff since his official visit during the final week of UCLA spring camp.

Another player Lynn sought out was 3-star OLB Khmori House, who was told he would have his film looked at just before I pulled him aside for an interview.

USC AD Mike Bohn has resigned, per the LA Times

He is in the hospital being treated for cancer. It's no secret that Coach McGovern has been sick for a long time. My prayers and thoughts go to him and his family

was a great NFL legend. One of the greatest Cleveland Browns player to ever play in the NFL.

Could history repeat??

UCLA continues to work at its own pace when it comes to high school recruiting, and within the last 24 hours the Bruins have offered a pair of four-star prospects despite those recruits having recently announced short lists. Mater Dei defensive lineman Aydin Breland was offered last night after narrowing his list to 10 schools — Oregon, Georgia, Ohio State, USC, Michigan, Miami, Tennessee, Nebraska, LSU and Texas A&M.

Four-star safety Dejuan Lane was offered today by the Bruins as UCLA joins a long list of schools. The Baltimore-based recruit already released a previous top-5 list that included Notre Dame, Penn State, Michigan, Maryland and Georgia.

Forgot to link this on the board earlier, but did an assessment of the roster overhaul head coach Mick Cronin has at this point in the offseason:

Saw this on Twitter. Don't underestimate JJJ. We all saw him for 4 years and know he's legit.

"Jaime Jaquez making some money at the combine. Biggest perceived knock on him was a lack of athleticism. Recorded 39" running vert & the third-best standing vertical (34.5"). Someone will be getting a tough, gritty, high IQ player late in Round 1 #UCLA"

Darrin Chiaverini, an offensive analyst at UCLA last season, has accepted the head coaching job at Chaffey College
