The current recruiting cycle has not been up to the standards of previous years for Jim Mora and his UCLA Football team, but that does not mean it is at a loss.
Despite having only nine players committed, a few of them are highly-rated and could make an immediate impact with UCLA next season.
One of those is 5-star defensive end Jaelan Phillips (Redlands East Valley HS/Redlands, CA) who has said, on more than one occasion, that he is more than 100% committed to the Bruins.
The good news about Phillips is that he will be on the UCLA campus sooner than later as he has completed high school and will enroll early at UCLA, just in time for Spring Practice.
