UCLA Wins Battle in Local Recruiting War

UCLA football coach Karl Dorrell may not know the best place to put a play sheet, but one thing he has come to know pretty well--recruiting in Los Angeles.

Dorrell and his team put together a long list of local committments over the weekend.

According to the Los Angeles Daily News, the eight commits, "led by defensive back Rahim Moore of Dorsey of Los Angeles, Compton defensive end Datone Jones, Colton defensive end Damien Holmes and Crespi of Encino safety E.J. Woods. "

In recent weeks, USC and UCLA have been going head-to-head in the local recruiting market and it looks like the Bruins have capitalized on their win last December.

Trojans are not worried, however, knowing that Men of Troy come from across the country. Only former Bruin Ken Norton, who recruits Los Angeles for USC, seems to be concerned.
