Su'a-Filo update

| | Comments (41) |

Just talked to a source who said Timpview (Provo, Utah) High offensive lineman Xavier Su'a-Filo was leaning toward UCLA. My source talked to Su'a-Filo early today.

Don't mess with us Dohn. Any word if he is going to announce at the scheduled time?

Man, this would be too much. XSF to UCLA? Cannot breathe...passing out...

Javy said:

Rumor is that he is gonna wait til later ths week because UTAH is talking to his former hs coach about an open position. Maybe to try and lure Xavier with familiarity?

Brian Dohn Author Profile Page said:

He is supposed to announce shortly. I'm told he will go through with the announcement.

Ryan Author Profile Page said:

Oh my. If we get SXF, it will be an early Christmas in Westwood! I pretty much had given up hope on him.

MCBruin said:

This would be the surprise of the day?

Bruinword Author Profile Page said:

It is almost too good to be true... You are putting yourself out on the line on this one... I hope you are right

SFbruin Author Profile Page said:

Sid Author Profile Page said:

DbDan said:

Do you have word on what time he was supposed to announce? You said shortly but is it 15 minutes or a couple hours? any word on scheduled time?

Please, him and carroll, make my day

SUC Toejam Author Profile Page said:

He's scheduled to announce in 15 min. I think he will. Hopefully the Hasiak announcement will help him to the promised land.

btw, espnu labels him as the #3 OT in the nation. the show mentioned something like him as one of the top immediate impact O-linemen in the nation...

Dohn, you are going to put scout.com and rivals.com out of business! You're more on top of it than either of those sites! Thanks for the updates.

BleedBlue Author Profile Page said:

Wow... that would be absolutely incredible...

Brian Dohn Author Profile Page said:

I'm not saying it's going to happen. I'm just passing information along.

Bruin86 said:

OMG that would be amazing. Neuheisel. I love you. Brian Dohn. I love you too.

I'm not sure what excites me most...thigpen (recruit speed or chase it...) or the big uglies up front to block for him!

Sid Author Profile Page said:

Dohn if you keep posting this stuff you're going to crash the site with traffic!

SUC Toejam Author Profile Page said:

BIG UGLIES! BIG UGLIES! BIG UGLIES!

We have some good backs ready to go. Brehaut & Prince are ready. We have some of the best TE's in the country.

Filo and Caroll will seal the deal...

Sleepy LaBeef Author Profile Page said:

If we land XSF, that will make this an absolutely great day for CRN and staff. The "loss" of Te'o is lessened by the fact that he spurned Peter the Cheater, and our signing of Golper, a highly-rated LB, albeit rated a step below Te'o. Also, with the exception of Sanders, we've been able to keep our commits home. Hasiak, Abele, and now, hopefully, XSF, would be 3 top-level OL recruits.

Now, not to be greedy, but if Randall Carroll sees the tide turning to UCLA, decides he wants to stay at WR, and goes with us, this turns into an absolute banner signing day for the Bruins.

Allow me to add: great work, Brian!

Is BruinChick still alive, this may have put her over the edge.

VenturaBruin Author Profile Page said:

XSF!!! Come on down to Westwood. I need to go buy some roses for my office. I see Rose Bowls and BCS in Ucla's future with you, Hasiak, Brehaut, and the rest. Lean a little harder bruddah

awesomebruin Author Profile Page said:

pls God let it happen... (and carroll too) lol =D

Sid Author Profile Page said:

Dohn, you really should have opened a signing-day chat room.

tapptout Author Profile Page said:

I hope he goes with his gut!

Sleepy LaBeef Author Profile Page said:

Sid, methinks Dohn is busy enough! I'd rather get the updates than slog through the usual chat room drivel.

SFbruin Author Profile Page said:

I'm hearing announcements that he picked UTAH. Is that official Dohn?

BruinBrock Author Profile Page said:

Holy crap! PLEASE CHOOSE US! I live in Provo, my wife went to Timpview HS... I've seen this kid play. He is the real deal! Come on XSF!

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.
