O-line help

It looks like UCLA might be getting a transfer along the O-line. Kai Maiava, who is the younger brother of the USC linebacker, is supposed to be heading to Westwood. He is a big 300 pounder who was at Colorado last season. Still haven't seen the official announcement, but Jill Painter at the Daily News is reporting it as well.

Maiava will have to sit out the 2008 season, due to NCAA transfer rules, but he'll be a solid addition for the following season. He played a bit a guard his freshman year and then switched to full back last season. He was used sparingly in the rotation and found himself buried on the depth chart this spring with the Buffs.
