...and no portal in the spring.
This is all subject to litigation, etc., blah blah blah
I have to say, though...I like it. I think. When does Winter Quarter for Ucla start?
If a kid can enter the portal, commit to Ucla, get approved by Ucla Admissions, and get into school in time for start of the Winter Quarter so they can get 3 or so months of conditioning with the team before Spring Ball starts...I'm good with it!
However, if the typical kid can't start school until early April, and thus can't be part of team workouts and conditioning sessions, then this is just another brick in the wall sealing off Ucla from succeeding in CFB.
What has Ucla's track record been with kids picked up during the Spring Portal?
Bryce Pierre was pretty good. He's on the Panthers practice squad now. Made some good catches last year. I don't recall anybody else, though. I know there have been a lot of misses amongst the Spring Window commits.
