Key recruit: Dashon HuntStill on the board: Troy WilliamsNext year's name to know: Tyler LuatuaFreshman to follow: Frank BuncomComment:
UCLA has done a nice job with the Class of 2013, but it has yet to win
out in a recruiting battle against its crosstown rival. However, it is
among the most active teams in the country in recruiting top young
players, having hit the ground running with the Class of 2015 like
almost no other team in the country. Jim Mora Jr. is thinking long-term,
but still needs a strong 2013 group to lay the foundation for this
program. Of course, a winning season on the field wouldn't hurt.
