Final Signing Brings a future CB????



On the final day of freshmen signing day, the Bruins bring in Cornerback Dan Sweeney. According to an interview with Bruin Sports Report Sweeney was over the recruiting process and wanted to commit. What also helped? The fact that UCLA is close to home and Coach Tillett really charmed his mother and sold her on the school, which we all know is very easy to do - UCLA sells itself.

Samuel's size is intriguing - a nice long CB who had a very good senior year. According to Scout, he runs well and has improved his flexibility and how he plays in space over the past year. He only had offers from smaller schools earlier this year but received a flurry of offers in the last couple of days.

Trouble in Bruin Land?

Today the Bruins hosted a slew of walk-ons/students/transfers looking for another Quarterback. "There is no question we are concern about Bobby's health both physical and mental. We are going to give the kid a chance to get things right before we put him back on the field" said head coach Harry Jones

New Quarterbacks Sign with the Bruins

With the unknown aliments of starter Bobby Jackson, the Bruins bring in two transfers.



UCLA fans are familiar with QB Christopher Christiansen who once a starter for USC before transferring to Michigan. Coaches are excited about Christopher experience.



The Bruins also brought in former Syracuse Quarterback Jose Brown little is known about Josh but coaches are excited about his ball control when handling the football.

When asked about who is going to start against Ohio State, Coach Jones only said we are working day and night to get both of these quarterbacks up to speed and do not count out Bobby he is a good kid and he can ball in this game we are not giving up on him.

Asked about longtime backup Terrell Anderson, Coach Jones said Terrell has made the decision that is best for him and transfer to another school. He is a good kid and I believe when he is ready he can be a fine coach at this level one day.

Utah just cut Karl Jones as well :)

I think Christiansen played well. Got a little gassed but I think he played well.

Yet another injury on the Bruins Defensive Line.

Defensive End David Honeycutt joins Defensive Tackle Jon Stillings, Defensive End Mariano Gilmore and Defense End Damon Smith on the injured list. That is 3 of 4 starters and a key backup all injured for the Bruins.

The Bruins have not had their projected starting 4 defensive linemen start in the same game all season.
