Where to Listen

Former UCLA linebacker Josh Woods and Orange County Register reporter James H. Williams talk about the latest buzz involving the Bruins, including #Dante2LA, DJ Uiagalelei’s unofficial visit and Dorian Thompson-Robinson’s status for the Sun Bowl.

While Thompson-Robinson prepares for his future, UCLA coach Chip Kelly and his staff are exploring their options for his possible replacement.

When quarterback Dante Moore took an official visit to UCLA last weekend, members of the fan base rallied on social media to show support toward Moore and tried to help persuade him to flip his Oregon commitment and consider UCLA.

Moore, listed at 6-foot-2.5, 210 pounds, is the third overall prospect (5-stars) in the nation for the class of 2023, according to 247sports.

Clemson transfer DJ Uiagalelei also took an unofficial visit to UCLA this week, according to 247sports.

Uiagalelei was ranked as the No. 2 prospect in the country coming out of St. John Bosco in 2020.

While the Bruins wait for a possible quarterback commitment, Fontana Summit lineman Tavake Tuikolovatu pledged his commitment to UCLA.

High school recruits could officially begin signing their National Letters of Intent during the early signing day period on Dec. 21.

Woods also shares some of his interactions with Mike Leach, who passed away this week due to a heart condition. Leach was the head coach at Mississippi State this season and previously coached at Washington State and Texas Tech among others.
