UCLA has a pretty depleted roster and while I won't say they won't lose anyone, everyone is pretty much in the two deep. If they aren't, you don't want them and what limited NIL money is probably going to the good players as is.

As for coaches, who knows. The floor seems like DC Tony White. It's not an ideal time to hire a coach. I'd prefer an offensive one. But whoever we hire has to have a desire to recruit. The lack of offers ucla gave out compared to any other program was staggering. Chip hated it and NIL made it worse for him.

I think he is a brilliant mind but he doesn't want to go get the guys he needs. OC might be the spot where he works best. 86th ranked class for UCLA is just lazy.
