Holiday and football
Here is a story I wrote about UCLA hoops freshman Jrue Holiday that was in today's paper, as well as the story on the four football commitments UCLA received Saturday.
By the way, one thing Holiday told me that I did not use in the sotry: "I'm a little bit more mellow this year. I'm usually more crazy and animated.''
He said he is trying to show more emotion on the court now.

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 story about Holiday has a very similar theme to one in the L.A Times...including some identical exact quotes. Did UCLA pitch this story about Holiday's aggressiveness and make him available to a few reporters?
Great stories. Howland and Holiday fit the mold of UCLA basketball and Neuheisel, wow!
Reports are that Hasik(sp) is gone to Cal, what do you think Brian?
