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.”
