They only have 8 commits and Rivals has their class rated 9th in the Pac12 right now. I know know Neuhesial is a wreck but they usually have great recruiting classes even when they suck.

My question would be this: Why is Hundley still committed there? I'm not saying come to Oregon(though it would be awesome), I'm just curious as to why he would stick with the sinking ship that UCLA is.

UCLA has Prince..and nothing behind him. no QBs recruited last two yrs I believe. Hundley can start day 1.
UCLA had a top ten class last yr.

They do have talent from the past class, but if UCLA can't add more recruits this season they will have serious depth issues in a year or two. If I were in Hundley's position I wouldn't want to have the weight of the world on my shoulders to turn around a program. But some players just want to play, and ignore the circumstances, maybe he is just one of them.

OC and DC both left with a new OC hired and no DC as of yet but a hire will come this week.

Even if they do get a DC next week, I don't know how much of a difference it will make in swaying recruits to commit there.

UCLA only had 15 available scholarships this year. Other than Hundley, their recruiting class has sucked thus far. I think there's a good chance that they'll end up with Devin Lucien. They also have a great shot at Stefan McClure. I wouldn't count them out for Kevin McReynolds, Junior Pomee, or Tony Steward either.
The instability with their coaching staff has definitely hurt their recruiting. It sounds like there's a chance that Randy Shannon will become their DC.

You can count them out for those three. McClure will be a nice pick-up though.

By left you mean they were both fired, which gives a better indication of the condition of the UCLA program.

Slick Rick isn't a good head coach, I have no idea how he continues to land jobs. You would think a place like UCLA could land someone better than what they have gotten since firing Toledo.

Weasel was doing OK as a QB coach and OC at his last stop, with the Ravens, but he seems to have lost a step somewhere in his journey as a HC.

He wasn't able to recruit the public penitentiary to play for his football team this time around. It is hilarious how many Husky fans were screaming about Masoli and James last year when their last relevant team with Neuheisel was a million times worse.

Hundley committed to UCLA for their pre-med program
...No...Seriously...he really did.
