Former ND TE Transfers to UCLA (172 clicks)
The Bruins picked up another commit yesterday, this one coming from Notre Dame. Not the high school... the University. Tight End Joseph Fauria has decided to transfer to Westwood. He's a big target, standing in at 6'7", and a big pickup for the Bruins. Fauria was originally recruited by UCLA last season, but ultimately chose the Fighting Irish over the Bruins. Now, the tables are reversed, and he's leaving Notre Dame to come back closer to home.

DOES A BRUIN S*** ON THE WOODS? (157 clicks)
Was accused thug E.J. Woods sent packing by Neuheisel, or did he just realize that he was meant to be a trojan?
We’ll never know the real reason, but UCLA Safety E.J. Woods is leaving UCLA. He is transferring to Santa Monica College for a year, and will then attempt a return to the Pac-10, possibly at usc. Woods is currently charged with six counts of Battery and Sexual Battery during three different incidents, so usc may just be a perfect fit. Birds of a feather fly together.

Earnest Thomas III (148 clicks)
UCLA's recruiting efforts out of the state are paying off. On Wedensday, the Bruins picked up a verbal from Michigan Safety Earnest Thomas III. The kid is big, at 6'2" and 210 lbs . He could morph into an outside linebacker if he adds more weight to his frame, which I think he could without too much effort.Even though the recruiting services only have him as a 3-star, Thomas had offers from a number big-time BCS programs.
