Derrick Bryant to UCLA

If he gets even average in technique by next year, he should be a useful piece. He is already very physically gifted, and another year under Barwis will put enough bulk on him to be effective in that role. I think he eventually might switch to more of an RVB type role, if he bulks up even further, but I'm not sure he will be by next year

Will and I are in the same major (and a lot of classes). He's a great kid, hard worker wants to learn... but I cringe if he is the best replacement for BG next year

Just because he's committed to them now doesn't mean he'll stay that way. Rem. Je'ron Stokes was committed to Tenn. and Ricky Barnum was committed to Florida, until they sign that LOI It doesn't mean a thing. Plus we've got "someone in a wizard hat selling snake oil" to spirit them to the Maize and Blue.

If Michigan wanted him, they would've had him.
