'11 CA WR Devin Lucien (Signed to UCLA)
- Thread starter Buffnik
- Start date
sounded like he really didn't care about the coaching staff in the end. He wanted networking. Specifically dissed the necesity of a coaching staff or at least playing in a place that can get you to the NFL... Being in cali was more important to him than anything else. He may regret that in the future, but hopefully he enjoys the journey.

I'll root for the kid. I always do for kids who were interested in the buffs but the hat thing was really weird for such a well spoken and educated kid.
We sound bitter because we are bitter.
Hey, we want our guys to stay home and often say on of the benefits is playing in front of family. The kid mentioned family and playing in front of them several times. Cannot blame him for that. Good luck to him but I hope he loses at least one time a year!
And we're gonna have to play against this kid every year.
I am not real big on all these "LOOK AT ME" announcements, whether they sign with CU or elsewhere. I prefer the kids who just send in their LOI and get on with it.
It means he wants to stay in LA without just coming out and saying he wants to stay in LA.
They just hired Mike Johnson from the 49ers, he's coached in the NFL for the past 10 years.
a couple of the athletes we have signed are also WR candidates... plus there is the mystical backup plan. And do NOT forget spruce. I like that pickup a lot.
That said, you are right, we are scrambling for backup plans now. As embo just said "It would have been nice to have another receiver"
The attrition at that position is rearing its ugly head. We signed five WRs in the 2008/2009 classes and three of them (Blackmon, Ussery, and Simmons) never did a thing. It is one thing for a guy to never live up to his potential, but to have three guys never make a single catch in a CU uniform... yikes. Probably need to move Jefferson back to WR or hope someone like Darden can step up. Spruce will get early playing time too.
So glad we got Clemons and Richardson.
So what was the scoop with Ussery? Anyone know that is willing to talk? If not appropriate here, Barzil? i had high hopes for him.
I forgot about Darden. He'll definitely see the field whether he's ready or not. And yeah, WillJeff will definitely be moving back to WR.
Embo just said he likes WillJef at WR in the press conference.
Concussions and lack of desire to continue playing the game.
Confirmed per above about willjef... darden is intriguing.

Good luck Devin!
That silliness with the hatx didn't look good, tho.

especially since he practically put the Miami hat on.... then threw it off. That was a little lame. But he's a 17-18 year old kid. Probably seemed like a good idea at the time. Anywho, I'll wish him luck, but I can't wait till some Buff plants him in the turf if he gets on the field this fall. Go Buffs!

He made it sound like Miami was his #2 choice which makes this a little easier to stomach. Pretty sure we were not going to get him with or without ucla. On a side note I cant say I blame him. He gets to stay home and clearly family and friends are very importaint to him (r u listening leilon). He also gets good weather, academics, and Westwood is a nice area. Its not like he shunded us for Iowa St.
It is possible to do both. But good luck to him if he doesn't want to do that.
Still hurts. It was a position of need and one where he could have stepped in right away and made a big splash. That, and it would have been nice to steal a recruit away from a division foe, instead, we'll have to play him every year.

Wish him the best, but why did he have to grab other hats before UCLA?
Being a typical 18 year old, and he probably talked to his friends about it and thought it would be funny, I would do the same.
