Sports: Bruin basketball and recruiting

Saw this over at BruinsNation. The poster dug up the ratings on the current crop of Bruins based on Scout.com rankings of recruits.

The average UCLA recruit was 3.64 of which only 1 was a 5-star but 10 were 4-star. This put UCLA #2 in the Pac-10 in terms of recruitment reputation.

When compared to other big reputation programs, we are still far behind. Duke, Kansas and UNC each have SEVEN 5-star recruits!

But a basketball team is more than the sum of its parts and UCLA can now be talked about in the same breath as these top-tier programs. Got to give a huge shout out to Howland for bringing in solid players and getting them to play as a team.
