A few weeks ago, when we started analyzing the 2019 UCLA football recruiting class, there seemed to be a lot of Bruin fans who wanted to believe that the class was the result of Chip Kelly not recruiting blue chip recruits and, instead, recruiting “his type of players” so he could build the team with his guys.
It was an interesting, but flawed argument because it was based on the assumption that Kelly did not offer all that many blue chip recruits as part of the 2019 recruiting class.
After this month’s #8CLAP8TH event, I recapped not just the offers UCLA made on the 8th of February but also all of the offers made prior to February in order to present the most accurate snapshot of the 2020 recruiting class at this point.
