Is CMC's approach turning off the players, and the result is dispirited play? Heard comments that the team looks miserable. Reading between the lines, is Dent in particular questioning his decision to come to UCLA given the reality of playing for a hypercritical foul mouthed coach in a three piece suit who is taking the enjoyment out of the game. Are Coach Happy 's recruiting failures evidence of the same problem or is it the NIL $ or some of both? Despite all the great things UCLA has to offer, if I was a talented recruit, would I want to come to Westwood? Sadly the answer is probably no.
