Transfers are a part of any program but wondering if something significant is happening at UCLA given the recent exodus of players...
Devin Lucien, Jalen Ortiz, Priest Willis and now QB Asianti Woulard were all four star or higher rated guys who were not bench warmers for the Bruins, although it looks like Woulard would've been a bench warmer if he had stayed in Westwood...
What adds to the story is that Lucien is transferring to ASU, which will help at WR a lot, it would seem, since he played a great deal in his prior years at UCLA...
Both Ortiz and Willis are from the valley and were recruited by ASU but chose the Bruins and now they're heading elsewhere...
Woulard saw the writing on the wall at QB and was being passed by so he's getting out as well...the book on him was that "he struggled to absorb the nuances of his position"...
I'm just wondering if there is something going on in Westwood with Mora and his staff that is contributing to this exodus or whether it's just part of the regular attrition game in college football...
Has anyone, esp west coast people, heard anything about a "problem" or "problems" with the program these days..??
I'm also wondering if some of the "glamor" may be fading from the LA destination in the Valley these days now that Graham has taken over and had a lot of success...
In any event, it's great to get Lucien to Tempe...Go Devils!!!
