Whoa..... UCLA now sitting at 54 in team rankings right behind South Florida and one ahead of Boston College. Ouch
Chip Kelly
- Thread starter Hastings4Huskers
- Start date
He does just enough of his job to collect the check and get fired so he can play golf until the next fool decides to hire him.
How can you not recruit to UCLA? Great university, great weather, beautiful women, historic stadium, close to fertile recruiting areas.
I agree the campus alone should get you close to the top 40. Damn I'm happy we got Frost.
Looks like he's taking some projects but he has a really young team already. It appears he only loses 13 seniors off this past year's team so that prevents him from taking too many but man his average star ranking is a head scratcher. I guess not having Frost banging on doors and sitting in living rooms probably hurts Chip.
I remember a little over a year ago how some Nebraska fans REALLY wanted Kelly to replace Riley. Laughing What a disaster he'd have been in Lincoln if he can't recruit at UCLA.
He's not the same coach any more that was at Oregon.

He needs to hire SoFL as his recruiting coordinator.
Saban, Brian Kelly and Urbs all approve to this message
I lift weights at a gym full of UCLA fans Saturday morning. They are already baffled at what they consider lazy recruiting with no focus. I bet Saturday morning they will be livid.
Looking at their class one thing that sticks out like a sour thumb is he has NO QB in this class..
I think the traditional talent pools in CA aren't what they used to be. Seems to be some pockets that are under-recognized in the Inland Empire, but USC and UCLA coaches can't really just walk around the school and find players like they used to.
Add in that the SEC is grabbing some of their guys as well, although last year USC got 5 of CA's top 10, for all the good it did them.
And anyways, Kelly's recruiting classes were underwhelming at Oregon until the recruiting analysts figure out that he knew what he was doing. Give him a year or so and we'll see if he still has it or not. He's one of the few real geniuses of college football, so I'd bet on him figuring things out
Looks like he's in?
They also had a true freshman who started a good part of the year, but the other guy was a grad transfer who's gone, and another guy transferred to Cal before the season.. so they badly need a second guy as well (don't think they let Thompson-Robinson run as much last year due to depth concerns)
