one of Howland's recruits for next year, is the subject of this article from BruinReportOnline. A glowing report indeed, not only of the player, but also of Howland's efforts to recruit him. If all of it is true (and keep in mind the target audience of the article is people like me desperate to see UCLA basketball continue to improve), then kudos to the coaching staff. They not only secured a player who looks to be a great addition, but also established a solid relationship with the school, thereby (hopefully) opening a pipeline to some more talented players in years to come. One can only hope that Howland and his staff are doing the same at other schools throughout the country.
