Who we're watching at Rivals Camp this weekend
It's Rivals Camp weekend in Los Angeles, and that means plenty of UCLA targets will be in the area for Rivals.com to evaluate. Saturday is the big skills camp, while Sunday is the quarterback challenge. Here's who we'll have our eyes on during Saturday's competition:
QUARTERBACKS
What we're watching: The QB Challenge on Sunday will have more names here, including Tua Tagovailoa, Jack Sears and Nick Sipe, but we'll still have our eyes on Neville and Garbers on Saturday. Tagovailoa, Martell, Sears and Sipe have all done enough to show they're worthy of UCLA's heavy interest. Can Garbers and Neville join that group?
RUNNING BACKS
What we're watching: Because of its RB haul the past two years, UCLA is in a position where it doesn't need an RB in 2017. Harris is the best the prospect in the region and we're expecting to see him dominate. But can backs like Pledger or Beasley do enough to prove they should be Bruin priorities?
WIDE RECEIVERS
What we're watching: Heading into this week, three receivers here had a real shot at earning UCLA offers soon: Thompson, Calvin and Cook. Cook already got his on Thursday night. The other two could be right there with the NorCal prospect with more big performances this weekend.
TIGHT ENDS
What we're watching: Jaggers has quietly been described as a UCLA lean behind the scenes, so he'll garner our attention Saturday. But every top West Coast TE recruit aside from Tucker Fisk will be there this weekend, so it will be a great time to evaluate exactly who should be slotted where in the West's TE rankings.
OFFENSIVE LINE
What we're watching: Aaron Banks is one of last UCLA OL offerees we have yet to see this spring, so all eyes will be on him. We already know Davis and Neilon will find their way on top performer lists no doubt.
DEFENSIVE LINE
What we're watching: Jaelan Phillips proved at Nike he's a borderline five-star prospect. Gumbs has similar film and a similar offer sheet. So who's the better recruit? We should get that question answered on Saturday.
LINEBACKERS
What we're watching: Ngata has seen his offer sheet explode over the past few weeks. Can he prove he's worthy of a UCLA offer at this event?
DEFENSIVE BACKS
What we're watching: UCLA has offered just about every top DB in this event. Who's the best? Who should be a priority? Who's actually leaning toward UCLA here? All those questions should be answered by Saturday evening.
