Hoops recruiting
From what I'm hearing, UCLA's focus is on a handful of prospects for the 2009 class. The Bruins already have commitments from Modesto Christian's Reeves Nelson and Rocklin's Branden Lane.
UCLA coach Ben Howland was in Washington to watch the Bellarmine Prep duo of Abdul Gaddy and Avery Bradley. The Bruins are also interested in Sylmar's Tyler Honeycutt, Moreno Valley's Michael Snaer and Renaissance Academy's Anthony Stover.
While things in recruiting change quickly, I'm told not to expect a commitment from anyone until next month, at the earliest.

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.
The kid from Rocklin is Brendan Lane, and I will be "scouting" him this season because I live only a few miles from his high school. He could turn out to be another Ryan Anderson.
