MUST WATCH VIDEO: Rick Neuheisel & Jim Mora Talk UCLA Recruiting on CBSSports

Bumped. In case you have not seen this yet, this is MUST WATCH TV for all UCLA alums, students and fans. The interaction between Coaches Jim Mora and Rick Neuheisel is pretty amazing. It tells us a lot about these two guys. It is too bad Neuheisel's career didn't work out as a UCLA head coach but the way he has handled himself after he was done as UCLA HC will enhance his wonderful legacy as a player. It also didn't hurt the fact that he did help this program by elevating our recruiting in recent years. As Mora is off to a great start we hope he can finally translate the recruiting success into on field one next season. - BN Eds.
Jim Mora was on CBSSports earlier today to talk about Signing Day, and there was a great interaction between him and RN:

"True, they've beaten nobodies, but QB Case Keenum (1,534 yards, 12 TDs) and the Cougars (4--0) have FBS's top-rated passing attack. Only downside for Keenum: Houston won't play a ranked team all year, likely dousing his Heisman bid."
The "Hot/Not" feature from the 10/3 issue of Sports Illustrated. UCLA football is a "nobody," and the sad thing is, I can't really disagree.
Bucking Conservatism - Bruins Keep Winning - Screwing Traditional Wisdom, Using Analytics
With all the discussion recently about how CRN needs to be more aggressive, I thought this was a really interesting read that brought up some great points regarding punting and coaching risk/reward.
Marketing Intern - Athletics
Did all this backlash cause Morgan Center to realize the need to actually market UCLA Athletics with fresh, creative ideas? I think I could do a great job with this just by reading everything here on BN!
Lil Romeo leaving U$C
What will we laugh about now?
I don't know who did this, but someone has already made a song about "Lame Kiffin - Sellout." (Some of you "geezers" may want to skip this if you're not a fan of rap.)
"Conduct detrimental to the team" led to Gordon's departure
Andy Katz has a writeup on the Gordon situation.
Even more hate coming from MSM.
9. VCU plus 7 vs. UCLA: I fully expect UCLA to mail it in. The Bruins know they're not a Final Four team. Ben Howland isn't going to pad his contract with a Sweet Sixteen run. Why not cut the trip to Philly short and get back to Cali as soon as possible? Seriously. Meanwhile, Anthony Grant is eying jobs in the SEC (Alabama) and ACC (Virginia). Slapping around UCLA would pretty much cement his BCS resume. You gotta love VCU on the money line. The Rams 70-67.
Sidney to commit to UCLA??
Sources say he's going to commit on Sunday. Not sure if I really want him, considering all the baggage. But I do trust that CBH knows what he's doing.
Graham considering Utah
Graham says Utah now his top choice. Hope CRN can keep this kid.
Toma wins skills challenge
Looks like he might have been a little underrated. Looking forward to seeing him in Westwood next year.
Lakers summer league roster
Haven't seen this anywhere here, but apparently Ced Bozeman will be playing for the Lakers' summer league team, in addition to LMR.
Also, been reading this blog everyday for about a year and a half now, but finally came around to joining. Don't know what took me so long...
