Less than 12 hours after picking up a pivotal Pac-12 victory over the California Golden Bears, the UCLA Bruins suffered a substantial in-state recruiting loss.
Oluwole Betiku, a 5-star Los Angeles County defensive end rated No. 1 overall among California high school seniors in composite rankings, announced his decommitment Friday morning.
"I have decided to open up my recruiting," he tweeted. "It is in my best interest to take my time with the recruiting process and weigh my options carefully, it's a lifetime decision and I pray God guides me to make the best decision.
