Here is the story I wrote for online on former Notre Dame tight end Joseph Fauria saying he is heading to UCLA.
(As a side note, if Colorado transfer Josh Smith wants to go to UCLA, I was told there will be a scholarship for him.)

I spoke with former Notre Dame tight end Joseph Fauria and he said is going to UCLA. He said he broke the news to everyone via his Facebook page last night, and he added his phone was "blowing up'' since then.
I will have more shortly.

Here is a copy of the point plan and season ticket plan for seats in the renovated Pauley Pavilion: COC_SeatingGuide.pdf
Also, I received a few inquiries about the Q&A this week. Like I mentioned last week, the Q&A is on hiatus this week because of the holiday. I am also taking vacation at the end of next week, so the Q&A will not return until the end of the month.

The agent for Alfred Aboya said the former UCLA center will play for the Dallas Mavericks in the Las Vegas summer league, which begins July 10.
Bouna Ndiaye said during the summer league he will meet with representatives from at least five European teams, and he expects Aboya to agree to terms with one of them by the end of the month,
"We'll do something were there is an out in the contract to play in the NBA," Ndiaye said.
Ndiaye said two teams in Spain and France and another in Turkey are interested in signing Aboya. He added Aboya could sign for $200,000 annually to play overseas.

Here is the football notebook I wrote for today's paper. It deals with Sonny Tevaga leaving the program and the newly signed UCLA-Rutgers series.
As a side note, the series with the Scarlet Knights came about when Bruins coach Rick Neuheisel was at a golf outing and met Rutgers athletic director Tim Pernetti. Both were talking about the difficulty of scheduling non-conference games, and they began talking about possible games.

After 28 years at UCLA, including the last 10 as the men's track and field coach, Art Venegas was let go.
Here is the release from UCLA:

UCLA long snapper Christian Yount was selected as a preseason all-American by Playboy. However, unlike year's past, when the magazine hosted a weekend party for the members of the team, one will not be staged this season.

Here is the release from Rutgers about the two-year football series with UCLA:

UCLA will open the 2016 football season in Piscataway, N.J, in 2016 and the host the Scarlet Knights in the 2017 season opener. Here is more:

Offensive lineman Sonny Tevaga is no longer with the program. I am told it is an academic issue, and he will not be with the team in the fall.
Here is a release from UCLA about other things (including UCLA's first acknowledgment of E.J. Woods not being with the program any longer):

Here is video of UCLA's newest commit, defensive back Earnest Thomas from St. Mary Prep of Orchard Lake, Mich.

(Sorry for the late word, but I was not available most of Tuesday)

While I am told UCLA wing Josh Shipp has an offer of more than $200,000 to play in Italy, I am also being told he really wants to give the NBA a shot and may go that direction. A source told me Shipp has an invitation to play for the Chicago Bulls in a summer league.

Here is the story I wrote about UCLA's system of awarding points to decide seat locations in the renovated Pauley Pavilion.
Bruins athletic director Dan Guerrero also acknowledged what I had reported several times, which is the likely happening of the Bruins playing the majority of their games during the 2011-12 season at The Forum.
There will also be an attempt to play a few games at Staples Center and host a Pac-10 weekend series at The Honda Center in Anaheim.

Single game tickets for UCLA football games go on sale Wednesday. Here is a reminder/release from UCLA:

UCLA athletic director Dan Guerrero said the school has $53 million in pledges, meaning they are more than halfway to the goal of $100 million.
He also said naming rights (UCLA is using a more politically appealing term) for the arena could go for $40 million, but that could be used to offset the cost of bonds rather than toward the "Campaign of Champions" goal of raising the $100 million.
The name of the arena, even with naming rights, will still have Pauley Pavilion in it.

UCLA athletic director Dan Guerrero and one of his top aides, Ross Bjork, met with select members of the media today to detail the seating plan for the renovated Pauley Pavilion.
Much of the information contained stuff I wrote about in Sunday's paper, but Guerrero said a chance was made the concourse will now wrap around all of the renovated structure to help with pedestrian flow.
Information will go up on UCLA's website Wednesday afternoon, and season ticket holders will receive information late next week as to where they currently stand on the points list, and an area where those seats would be.

UCLA right-hander Trevor Bauer was named to the Baseball America all-freshman team. Here is the release:

UCLA concluded its advanced skills camp, and two of the most impressive players were Chaparral of Temecula class of 2012 product Xavier Johnson and Edison High of Fresno class of 2012 center Robert Upshaw.
The coaches spent a significant amount of time talking to Johnson, a 6-foot-4 wing.
Upshaw has some nice moves in the low post, and it will be very interesting to watch his development over the next few years.
Class of 2011 center Angelo Chol of Hoover of San Diego was also impressive from an athletic and understanding viewpoint.
Also, Shabazz Muhammad, a class of 2012 wing from Las Vegas Bishop Gorman, was in attendance Monday despite not being able to play because of a toe injury.

I will have more Tuesday about UCLA's advanced talent basketball camp, but a few quick things from today.
Former Lakers great Jerry West gave an inspiring talk to the campers, and former Bruins guard Arron Afflalo took time from his workouts to speak with the campers and answer questions.
There was plenty of nice talent present, and I also got a chance to see members of UCLA's incoming freshmen class. However, Reeves Nelson and Tyler Honeycutt did not participate because of injuries, and UCLA commit Kendall Williams sat out the afternoon session with a sprained ankle.

Here is an update on the first day of UCLA's men's basketball camp, courtesy of colleague Frank Burlison from our sister paper, the Long Beach Press-Telegram. I'll be down there today.

Recent UCLA commit Brett Nottingham, a quarterback out of Monte Vista High of Danville, was named the top performer at the Elite 11 camp at UNLV over the weekend.
Also, here is a highlight video of him:

Here is a story I wrote outlining the seating structure of the renovated Pauley Pavilion.

Here is it, folks, the last set of answers. Hope the information was helpful. It's a lot to go over, but hopefully you get some time during the weekend to play catchup, if need be.
Now, onto the final set:

Here is the 15th set:

Morning folks. The answers will continue today, beginning with this set, No. 14:

Here is a story about former Colorado receiver Josh Smith looking to transfer, with UCLA as a possible destination.
I know the Bruins are very interested in Smith. As a matter of fact, a few of my sources told me about it two weeks ago, and they said it had a good chance of happening if UCLA had scholarship space.
However, my sources asked me to keep it quiet until news of it leaked out, and now it has. So, as long as UCLA has an available scholarship, this has a very good chance of happening.

This is the last set of answers for tonight. I will post the final few sets on Saturday, but for now here is the last set, lucky No. 13:

*This answer set was edited. It should have said UCLA is NOT taking two quarterbacks in this class. My bad, and sorry for the confusion it created. Guess I got a little bleary-eyed answering all the questions this week.

Here is the 12th set:

Here is the 11th set:

Former Crespi High of Encino tight end Joseph Fauria was granted his release from Notre Dame and will transfer, and I am hearing he will look at UCLA, and the Bruins will also look at him.

Here is the 10th set of answers:
