UCLA loses commitment
Just got in after being away for a few hours and wanted to pass along that Los Alamitos receiver Paul Richardson has de-comitted from UCLA, leaving the Bruins with no commitments for the 2010 class.
There have been rumblings of this happening for the last month, and Richardson is finally ready to pull the trigger and say he is opening up his recruitment.
From my understanding, UCLA will remain in the picture for the short term, but I'm not sure how this will shake out.

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.
After the way Neu's crew closed out LOI day last year, this kind of info doesnt phase me. Unlike the Dorrell years, I have the strong belief that Neu will deliver a strong recruiting class each and every year.
damn... i know that commitments this early often have delicate thought processes concerning what school they are choosing, but come on. We should be showing a little something with our commit list to give other recruits a reason for looking into ucla's program. There may be silent connections between neuheisel and the recruits but having no physical proof may leave some potential bruin athletes thinking twice.
That is my take as well. Last year looked pretty bleak going into LOI week.
Let's not panic-the June camps may be the beginning of the harvest.
Hope he makes the right choice for him, once he takes the time to do a proper evaluation of his opportunities.
