UCLA Football: NFL Draft Profile - WR Jordan Lasley
The tale of two Lasley’s. There are two Jordan Lasley’s that NFL teams are forced to look at. There is @LegendaryLasley, which is his Twitter handle, that appropriately describes the kind of talent that allowed Lasley to be the only receiver at UCLA to have consecutive games of 200 yards receiving. Lasley did this against USC and California late in the 2017 season. Lasley also tied Freddie Mitchell for the school single-season record with seven 100-yard receiving games. Moreover, there’s the Jordan Lasley, that according to Pro Football Focus, allowed UCLA Bruins QB’s to have a...

UCLA Football: NFL Draft Profile - OT Kolton Miller
Could UCLA have two offensive players selected in the first round of the draft? Some analysts say, yes. Offensive lineman Kolton Miller moved from right to left tackle in his senior season, after missing most of his junior year with a foot injury. He played two years on the right, and moving to the left meant that it was up to him to protect UCLA’s bread and butter, Josh Rosen. 2017 was a good year for him, bringing him back to the form that earned him four stars coming out of high school, and his performance was also enough to get him second-team All-Pac-12 recognition. If you’re into...

UCLA Football: NFL Draft Profile - QB Josh Rosen
Josh Rosen is absolutely the best quarterback prospect in the 2018 NFL Draft class. It’s not every year that a quarterback comes along with the physical attributes and skill-set of Josh Rosen. So NFL teams should be salivating to land a player with Rosen’s potential, right? Well, that’s where the crazy stories and the pre-draft speculation have run rampant with Rosen more so than any other player in this year’s draft. All of the discussions about Rosen definitely have received a lot of traction but none more than the following quote about Rosen from his former UCLA Bruins Head...

UCLA Football Wraps Up Spring Practice With Half a Game
While the White team won 16-10, the Bruins remain a work in progress at this point. Building a winning program takes time. That much was evident watching yesterday’s UCLA Spring Game where the big takeaway was that the team is still a work in progress and will probably continue to be up until September 1st when the Bruins host Cincinnati at the Rose Bowl. There was a lot of sloppy play. Not only did the quarterbacks throw three interceptions, but there were numerous dropped snaps and one snap that went for a safety after long snapper Johnny Den Bleyker launched one over his punter’s...

Jelenicki HR Lets UCLA Softball Walk-off with Another Win over Huskies, 3-2
Now that the Bruins have won the weekend series against Washington, they will look to sweep the Huskies and, hopefully, their #1 ranking. With two outs in the bottom of the seventh, Madeline Jelenicki came to the plate for UCLA. Jelenicki took the first pitch from Gabbie Plain for ball one. After fouling off the second pitch and taking a called strike, Jelenicki found a pitch she liked and drove it to left and over the 1978 National Championship banner to give the Bruins the second straight win over the top-ranked Huskies. And, in just two days, the Bruins have managed to double...

UCLA Baseball: Michael Toglia Drives in 7 as Bruins Crush Trojans, 19-2
Meanwhile, Daniel Amaral was just a homer short of hitting for the cycle. What do you do for an encore after beating your crosstown rivals 16-1 in the opening game of a three-game series? You beat them 19-2 in game 2, of course! That’s what happened yesterday afternoon at Jackie Robinson Stadium when the Bruins and Trojans met again. The big win gives UCLA another series win. Today, the Bruins will look for a weekend sweep when they meet for the final time in the regular season. Kevin Kendall got the Bruins on the board in the bottom of the first with a solo home run. Chase Strumpf...

UCLA Men’s Volleyball Falls to BYU in MPSF Championship, 3-1
Home court advantage matters as the Bruins lose the MPSF title to BYU. Repeat after me: Home court advantage is important. Having the home court advantage can help a team win championships. That’s what happened tonight in Provo, Utah where BYU, the top seed in the MPSF and host of the MPSF Men’s Volleyball Championship, defeated UCLA in four sets, 25-17, 21-25, 18-25, 21-25. The Bruins started off by winning the first set, but they fell behind early. BYU scored on the first three volleys and they led 6-3 after nine points. UCLA hung in, though, and tied the set up 10-10. After BYU took...

115! Peng-Peng Lee Scores Back-to-Back Perfect 10s to Lead Bruins to Title
Back-to-back Perfect Tens from Peng-Peng Lee propels UCLA to 115th National Championship! To quote Jack Buck, “I don’t believe what I just saw.” The UCLA Gymnastics team has won the school’s 115th NCAA title and the program’s 7th national championship. But, it didn’t look like it was going to be possible. The meet didn’t start well for the Bruins. On the Floor Exercise, UCLA scored a 49.4625. It was an alright start, but it featured an uncharacteristic fall by Kyla Ross during her routine that kept UCLA from scoring higher. In fact, only two Bruins Felicia Hano and Katelyn...

#4 UCLA Women’s Water Polo Squares Off Against Crosstown Rival #1 Southern Cal

UCLA Bruins Take on BYU Cougars for the MPSF Men’s Volleyball Championship
The Bruins and the Cougars will play tonight for the MPSF’s automatic bid in the NCAA Men’s Volleyball Tournament. After taking longer than expected to get past Concordia on Thursday, the UCLA Men’s Volleyball team plays tonight for the MPSF Men’s Volleyball Championship. Their opponent will be the top-seeded BYU Cougars, who swept Southern Cal on Thursday, 25-17, 25-17, 25-22, to advance to tonight’s championship match. In the two matches that UCLA and BYU played head-to-head this season, the home team has won every set. That would seem to put the Bruins at a big disadvantage...
Ben Bolch / Los Angeles Times Apr 21, 2018 Aside from safety, Chip Kelly's first UCLA spring game goes 'according to plan'
The plays were basic, the pace s-l-o-w. The game ended after only two quarters and the quarterback who might throw UCLA’s first pass of the 2018 season was milling about in street clothes. In other words, the Bruins’ first spring football game under coach Chip Kelly was packed with more oddities...

UCLA Baseball: Bruins Maul Trojans, 16-1
UCLA jumped on Southern Cal early, with a five run first inning, and never looked back. Last night at Jackie Robinson Stadium, the UCLA Bruin baseball team (23-10, 12-4 Pac-12) started the game hot and never let up against the Trojans, scoring five runs in the first inning and cruising to a 16-1 demolition of Southern Cal (18-16, 6-10 Pac-12). As dominant as the Bruins were, the game only counts as one victory in the standings and Southern Cal will enter today’s game with a clean slate and tons of motivation to even the series. UCLA will seek the series win. It started quickly last night...
