In this edition of the BROCast, Dave and Tracy talk about last Saturday's UCLA football spring game and then go deep on the current state of the football recruiting class. We discussed the format of the spring game, and then talked about some of our key takeaways, including receiver Brian Rowe being just as impressive as we saw during the majority of practices. We also talked about our remaining uncertainty at left tackle and on the interior of the defensive line, and how the format for the game, while more fun for the fans, actually made it a bit harder to assess depth because of the way they mixed and matched offensive lines. We then talked about the big recruiting weekend last weekend, and then discussed what's to come later today a bit as well. For the first time in a long time, we were able to go position-by-position through the recruiting class, because UCLA is actually going for a full high school recruiting class and filling needs at every spot out of the high school ranks. We talked about the position groups we're most excited about, including a defensive back group that already projects as an A-level recruiting job -- and the Bruins aren't yet done with defensive back recruiting.

In this edition of the BROCast, Dave and Tracy talk about UCLA football recruiting, preview the spring game, briefly address the Tounde Yessoufou reports, and then discuss how UCLA women's basketball has closed out the Transfer Portal. This weekend is poised to be one of the biggest UCLA football recruiting weekends in recent memory. The Bruins landed a commitment from four-star defensive tackle George Toia yesterday, and there could be as many as three more four-stars committing this weekend, as well as potentially three-star running back and UCLA legacy Duece Jones-Drew. We talk about the weekend, and the likelihood of UCLA ending up with a top 15 class...or better. We then shifted gears to the spring game, and we discussed what we are hoping to see during the session on Saturday, with special focus on the offensive line, particularly at left tackle, as well as the pass rush and middle linebacker positions. We also want to see Brian Rowe make a spectacular play or two. We touched on the reports that Tounde Yessoufou's agent has said he's going to the NBA Draft, and then digressed into a discussion of AI and aggregation and how it's hurting sports journalism generally. Finally, we talked about how the UCLA women's basketball program has closed out the Transfer Portal. Bruin Report Online is now at On3! Join BRO today and get 5 months for ONLY $1!
