The UCLA Bruins Football Coaching Change Talent Drain

Yesterday, I looked at the Recruiting History of UCLA Football Since 2000.

That brings us to the current state of the UCLA roster and, specifically, to how the level of talent currently on the roster has been drained since Jim Mora was fired.

Let’s start this look with the 2014 recruiting class.
