True that. But I think these guys will be okay. The main concern is definitely the availability of Bell, we need to have a running game against BYU.

No. 1 recruiting class in the nation + Ben Howland + playing in one of the toughest conferences in the nation = deep run in the tournament

He wasn't a scorer in high school, but...I don't know, I feel like Ben Howland found his dream center, cause this guy can play D!

of course he's not going before those two, those two already have the athleticism and the shots to make it big in the next level. Love has to work hard to be recognized if he wants to play any minutes next year, and thats exactly what he is doing. I'm disappointed that he didn't put in the hard work for UCLA last season, but I wouldn't be surprised if he will score decnet amount of points off the bench next season.

this guy is a class act, i guess all his family and friends were trojan fans, but he claims to have always been bleeding blue and gold. Not a bandwagoner, hope he'll make an impact soon.

I love gross generalizations by the RockChalk in order to put down UCLA. Sure, this year we had some rather easy opponents, but this has not been a trend in our past final four/championship runs (unless you want to call last year's Kansas team a cake walk). Personally, I think paying easy opponents in the tournament serves as a distinct disadvantage deep into the tourney. Better teams give better matchups, and more complicated situations to toughen a team up for possibly a "much better team" in the Final Four. Do you really think playing Miss. Valley State pumped up our team for the challenges to come?

UCLA was probably the least covered elite programs in the country during the regular season, and was only "hyped up" on this website. We were certainly not the favorites in many people's eyes for the tournament.

You guys deserved the title, but don't get cocky and forget that its only yours because of that 3 pt prayer, and the malperformance of your opponent.

^ last time the hoyas made it to the championship game was 1985. Last time UCLA made it to the championship game was 2005.

It's actually only been 2 final 4 losses, and 1 championship loss.

But who's counting right?

You just can't judge a 18 yr old's character based on whether or not he wants to play ball for your school. So far as we know, his family probably had a huge part in him coming to UCLA, note how everything has been announced by his mother or his brother. I'm glad he is coming, although his commitment issues is somewhat of a redflag, i don't think its anything cbh cant handle.

got to think how much it sucks for olson, huge prospect coming out of high school, and then your QB career gets ruined by your mission. Wonder where hes gonna go in life.
