Staying in the Family

Kevan Walker, son of current defensive coordinator DeWayne Walker, switched his commitment from Minnesota to UCLA today. The Bruins have been actively pursuing Walker for a few months and it was no secret that Kevan might change his allegiance. Walker is listed as a wide receiver but he could also play as a defensive back in the blue and gold. He'll join a very talented class coming to Westwood in 2008.

You have to like a kid who's father is a coach. You know he'll have a great understanding of the game and approach the gridiron like a field general. With that kind of background I'm sure he'll blossom into a vocal leader on this team when he gets settled into D1 football.

Here is the latest recruiting snap shot (PDF). Walker's commitment takes UCLA to 24 players in the 2008 class.

Good stuff, although it appears Moore is now a 5 star...

Yeah, I need to go back and update all the rankings and stars as they have changed a bit in the last month.
