UCLA had him as a high priority. Oh well. Cronin strikes out again. There was talk that getting Philon and having highly ranked southern California kids considering UCLA might indicate some headway toward getting local talent. Maybe not so much.

UCONN and Hurley right now are hot and tough to beat in the recruiting game.
