  • QB pecking order (78 clicks)
    The pecking order for quarterbacks, after Patrick Cowan and Ben Olson, is Kevin Craft and then Chris Forcier. "But Chris is very close to Kevin,'' UCLA coach Rick Neuheisel said.

  • Roh offered (102 clicks)
    UCLA had an intriguing visitor at practice today, and several of the Bruins coaches walked over and greeted him. It was Craig Roh, one of the top defensive ends in the west, from Chaparral High of Scottsdale.

  • Double Ouch (112 clicks)
    "It was a good practice, other than two quarterbacks went down." That's how Rick Neuheisel summed things up on Thursday evening. Pat Cowan re-aggravated the same knee he hurt in practice on Monday (the MRI came back negative). Ben Olson hurt his foot, saying he planted it and heard a pop. It's too early to tell how this will affect Saturday's scrimmage in the Rose Bowl

  • Cowan, Olson hurt (76 clicks)
    UCLA quarterbacks Patrick Cowan and Ben Olson each left Spaulding Field via a cart. Cowan injured his left knee, the same one that kept him out of practice Tuesday, and Olson hurt his right foot. X-rays and MRIs are pending for both, and I am hoping to have more later tonight.

  • ROSE CHARADE, OR ROSE-BUD? (101 clicks)
    The "What's Bruin" blog is still just a UCLA site, and unlike with Lonnie White, there is no subtle undercurrent of negativity or sarcasm. Rose's only "agenda" is to be Professional, and to deliver a top-quality blog that Bruin fans want to read. In fact, Rose was honest enough to "admit" recently that the UCLA Dance Team was the #1 Squad in the entire Pac-10. He gave #2 Oregon the nod for pure photogenics, but gave UCLA the Title, after inserting talent, wardrobe, and attitude into the equation. NO real Bruin-Hating trojan would EVER make an "arbitrary" decision like this -- and make it public – knowing that his trojan brethern are going to read it, and skewer him for it.

  • Morgan and LSU (106 clicks)
    UCLA can forget about J'mison Morgan as a possible low-post player next season after the LSU signee said he would honor his commitment and not ask to get out of the binding letter of intent he signed in November, according to his coach, James Mays, at Dallas' Oak Cliff Park High.

  • Mini-camp issues (82 clicks)
    It doesn't impact those UCLA players who are drafted nearly as much, but when it comes time to sign free agent contracts after the draft a rule working against schools like UCLA comes into play. Rookies cannot partake in the rookie mini-camp for NFL teams until said player's school session is over. Most of the schools it's not an issue because by mid-May, the semester is over.

  • More Majok, no Kansas (128 clicks)
    I spoke with Edward Smith, Ater Majok's coach, and they are both in Connecticut on an official visit to UConn, which is beginning today. "After the visit here, we will sit down and talk and decide what to do, and if Ater takes one more visit,'' Smith said. "If the Connecticut visit didn't meet expectations, or if Ater did not feel perfect about it, we could visit UCLA on our way back."

  • Draft status (79 clicks)
    From talking to a bunch of different folks from the NFL, college, agents, players, ect., I'm hearing the only UCLA player who has a chance of being selected during the first day of the NFL draft is defensive end Bruce Davis, who could go in the second or third round. The NFL changed the draft this year with the first two rounds being Saturday and the final five being Sunday.

    When I was 7, my aunt Patty, a UCLA alum, took me to my first UCLA Football and Basketball games. My belief is that I was the fill-in for her son, who was a UCLA student at the time, but was attending games with his friends.

    Every routine must be flawless. Every landing must be stuck. Near perfection is required from every athlete, or the Bruins will go home early.

  • Disenchantment (112 clicks)
    There seems to be lot of disenchantment and bitterness towards the "one and done" rule (and 18-19 year old incredibly talented/athletically gifted kids who are operating through it) in the world of college basketball these days. Lot of people are feigning shock and outrage over kids like Love, Beasely, Mayo, Rose, Durant and Oden coming into college for one year and then quickly jumping over to the NBA.

  • More Cowan (90 clicks)
    It is the fourth offensive coordinator in four years, and for the first time the terminology is much different. To that, UCLA quarterback Patrick Cowan said it is not nearly as complex. He added the offensive struggles of the spring are understandable, and he was pleased with where the Bruins are offensively.

  • Cowan's take (82 clicks)
    I spoke with UCLA quarterback Patrick Cowan and he said part of the reason the offense hasn't looked so good lately is because everything is so new, but that he felt things were progressing well and he was comfortable in coordinator Norm Chow's offense.

    I ran into UCLA junior big man Alfred Aboya while on campus and asked him if he had any idea when he would decide whether or not he was returning for his senior season, or whether he would opt to continue his post-graduate work (he is graduating during the summer) elsewhere and not play for UCLA next season.
