Whoa ....
New Years Resolution list came early at UCLA.
Well, we think our program is in a bad place. UCLA lost to Michigan State, UNCheat....Belmont, Cincinnati by 30, Ohio State, and just got blown out by Liberty. I mean, dayam.
Here is some of their roster and the recruit rankings:
Cody Riley: 44 (high 4-star)
Moses Brown: 28 (5-star)
Kris Wilkes: 20 (5-star)
Jaylen Hands: 23 (5-star)
Prince Ali: 30 (high 4-star)
Chris Smith: 102 (4-star)
Jules Bernard: 46 (high 4-star)
David Singleton: 100 (4-star)
Jalen Hill: 68 (4-star)
Committing to UCLA in basketball (or most anywhere in the Pac12) is like committing to most of the SEC in football - its where your career goes to die.
Only Libery is a bad loss there. The Pac12 is bad yes, but UCLA was punching dance cards.
Alford is overrated but UCLA is sustainable, Holland went to 3 final fours there.

UCLA should never lose to Belmont.
If you're UCLA, you got to look at someone who knows the modern basketball landscape.
Someone who can put them back in blue blood status.
Expecting Earl Watson to end up in the mix at UCLA.
Are you basing that on Lonzo Ball's endorsement of Watson?
Absolutely not. I think a lot of places are gonna copycat the Penny-MEM thing. Watson has AAU ties, NBA pedigree, blah, blah, blah. To me, he was miscast as an NBA HC. Belongs in college.
I'm not buying this. I'm buying my theory that you're just jumping in with Lonzo.
You always believe the worst in people though so I'm not even mad.
