Neuheisel does come off as a sleazy car salesman type but he has recruited well. A couple years ago USC would not have wanted any of the players playing for UCLA. Now UCLA is competing for the top prospects coming out of high school with USC.
UCLA had a great double duo with the defense coach and offensive coordinator. It will be interesting to see how this year's defense does. They have a lot of talent but are young and under a new system.
This is another rebuilding year for them but there is hope at least now that they will become competitive. There was little hope with Dorrell as the coach.
