Island recruiting
UCLA coach Rick Neuheisel and new defensive coordinator Chuck Bullough were in Hawaii Monday recruiting. I'm told they were there to see a number of players, including Punahou (Honolulu) High linebacker Manti Te'o.

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.
Te'o must be coming for sure
It's time to BLITZ!! ok that was lame..
If we can pull Manti, I will take a break from bashing CRN.
Dear Trojans:
Please post with wit and style. This is not the Green Board. Dohn works hard and deserves better.
Bill:
That reminds me of when you said if you just got a car for your 16th birthday you would never skip doing homework again. I think that lasted about three days.
Any other names of guys they were visiting?
I'm not a recruiting expert besides reading that Te'o would be a great pick up for UCLA. I'd LOVE for him to sign with UCLA so that the toejams can come up with excuses of how "they don't need him anyhow" or how "he doesn't like to compete" or anything else that protects them from realizing CRN is now challenging Cheatey Petey in the recruiting world! Go Bruins!
Keep dreaming, Bailey.
Te'o and maybe Hasiak? That would be a huge get. Maybe Manti is the Ace in the hole?
Brian:
Who was the "Mind Blowing" DC candidate? Where is that darn Subaru (couldn't resist)
Te'o's secret commit to USC isn't much of a secret anymore.
Brian, how more often does this year's staff go to Hawaii compared to KD's staff?
Seems like it's good to be a coach now-a-days...
That would be huge, if true but most suc fans aren't reliable so....
Bruin,
Were you laughing when you wrote this? They were screwin' with you.

Te'o is visiting USC this week... and his host player is Rey Maualuga?!
I think the issue with USC is that Te'o wants to take his mission and Carroll is trying to talk him out of it. His other on campus visit to BYU apparently was a disaster.
This could be a serious coup for UCLA.
Why would Bullough be in Hawaii unless.........wait! Ha,ha,sorry a@@ SC is out of it! Great job by Neuheisel in getting Teo it's over!
