UCLA won’t need ink by the barrel on national signing day

It could be a national signing day without a signing, a formerly action-packed event without activity.

In the surest sign that UCLA doesn’t expect much to happen Wednesday, an athletic department spokesman said coach Chip Kelly was not expected to speak with reporters unless something changes.

The Bruins have signed 17 players and are expecting five transfers to play for them in 2021, with at least a few more transfers likely to come on board between now and the start of fall training camp.

The December signing period and the transfer portal have largely relegated the traditional February signing day to a non-event nationwide.
