More Neuheisel

Here's what UCLA coach Rick Neuheisel said about several other players signing with UCLA:

Kapolei (Hawaii) High OL Stanley Hasiak
"Thrilled to death when he announced this morning he was going to UCLA. This is a big guy who benches 435 pounds right now. He likes football. He likes the physical challenge. ...He can play right away."

Punahou (Honolulu) High ATH Dalton Hilliard
Neuheisel said Hilliard will come in as a defensive back, rather than a running back, because of depth.
"He's willing to do whatever he needs to do." Neuheisel said

Centennial of Corona receiver Ricky Marvray
Will start at receiver, but could move to another position.
"It always behooves you to have people dying to become Bruins in uniform. Clearly, a UCLA guy."

Timpview of Provo (Utah) offensive lineman Xavier Su'a-Filo
"A neat surprise for us today. A very, very great kid. This is a kind of pied-piper personality. He's going to have a lot of fun being a student at UCLA. Aside from that, an unbelievable talent. He's a 300-pound guy that can dance around like nobody else's business. ...He put on a Bruin hat and made our offense jump and scream."

Stonewall Jackson of Manassas (Va.) running back Damien Thigpen
"It's fun to have speed back in the program, and this guy's highlight tape is indicative of that."

*I will post the audio of the press conference tonight.

Re: X

My compliments to Coach for working hard to acquire the needs for a top shelf program and having Norm Chow at his side to make these kids believe they can not only compete with USC, but compete for the National Championship. This is the beginning of something special. Great for all UCLA fans.
