OL offers
I mentioned in one of the Q&A segments Friday that UCLA offered scholarships to 15 offensive linemen, and I received several emails and inquiries as to the identities of those 15 players.
Here are most of them:
Alex Bullard,Brentwood (Tenn.) Academy; Greg Capella, El Diamante (Visalia); Donovan Edwards, Diablo Valley CC (Pleasant Hill); Chris Freeman, Trotwood-Madison (Ohio); Stanley Hasiak, Kapolei (Hawaii); Daniel Hood, Knoxville (Tenn.) Catholic; Zach Martin, Bishop Chatard (Indianapolis); John Martinez, Cottonwood (Salt Lake City); Michael Philipp, Arroyo Valley (San Bernardino); Charles Siddoway, Marist (Eugene, Ore.); Xavier Su'a Filo, Timpview (Provo, Utah); Chris Watt, Glenbard West (Glen Ellyn, Ill.); Khalil Wilkes, St. Peter's Prep (Jersey City, N.J.).
Keep in mind, it is not considered a good year for offensive linemen in California, which is part of the reason so many of the offers are for guys from other states.

About Inside UCLA
This is Brian Dohn's sixth season covering UCLA after spending 4 1/2 years covering the Dodgers for the Daily News and other Los Angeles Newspaper Group papers. He graduated from Rutgers, where the first college football game was played in 1869. Sure, the Scarlet Knights suffered for a long time, but now RU is doing what Jerseyans always thought was possible. Winning at Rutgers also proves winning is possible everywhere else in the nation, so underachieving coaches better be careful. Now, if only men's hoops can turn it around.
Regardless of whether they get them or not, it's good to see the program try and tap out of state talent. Guys from Ohio and Tennessee no less.
