in The Fisching Hole (Recruiting)
Just took a commitment from an Eastside Catholic kid rated as the #205 athlete.

Other offers included Black Hilles College, School of the Mines, and Simon Fraser

    I don't get it. It seems like UCLA is purposefully avoiding the higher tier recruits. I wonder what their overall strategy is about.

    2. UCLA’s different, although not unexpected, approach.

    Biggins indicated that with two exceptions, Bruins coach Chip Kelly is not recruiting the best of the best in Southern California.

    UCLA has secured a commitment from San Juan Capistrano’s Sean Rhyan, one of the top offensive line recruits in school history, and is pursuing Mater Dei athlete Bru McCoy.

    Otherwise, the Bruins are “barely involved with the elite kids, and that seems to be by design,” Biggins explained.

    “They’re going after the mid-level guys and figure they can coach ’em up and development them better … They are staying away from the kids who love themselves.”

    Kelly didn’t chase the 4- and 5-stars during his tenure at Oregon, either. He wants deeply-committed, low-maintenance, coachable players who fit his system.

    “They’re really low in the rankings because of his philosophy,” Biggins said. “It’s strange to me, but to him, it makes perfect sense. They are actively avoiding highly-rated guys.”

    Just what I'm hearing

    The brainwashing is in full effect

    Interesting spin. What kind of accurate data on recruits is available in quantity that isn't already baked into rankings? Or is this where @NSA_Dawg has gone.

    Do you mean THE Colorado School of Mines? This the premiere university in the world for mines. Big get for chip kelly convincing to risk a guaranteed 6 figure salary for the smallest chance of making it pro.

    Lol I love how Chip leveraged his Oregon success to get one last big pay day before he retires. Now he is just wiping cheeto dust on his boner sweatpants on his company time haha. No better school than this to happen to than UCLA.

    Dude is still getting paid by the niners too
