Was listening to a CFB podcast last week that said the state of California had 46 four and five star recruits last year and UCLA landed one of them, an OL.
That's not going to cut it.

Chip and his staff are completely out of touch with kid-culture today and don't appear willing to adapt.

As discussed previously, Chip Kelly might indeed be smarter than the recruiting rankings. Some of the three-stars he signs might turn out to be four stars. But he’s not smart enough to overcome thismuch of a lack of talent.

And when UCLA did pursue a prospect that the rest of the college football world considered to be elite, it whiffed in spectacular fashion: 1 for 40. UCLA offered 40 four- or five-star recruits, and signed just one.

Given that USC, just signed its worst class in the history of modern recruiting rankings (since 2003, or so), this failure to bring in elite talent by UCLA has to be looked at as a major missed opportunity.

There are several reasons for this, chronicled throughout this piece. Not offering enough players. Being way too slow and too picky to offer local players, making them feel unwanted or overlooked. Not being good at actually recruiting the players you do want.

At the All-Star events over the holidays, parents of California recruits also spoke about how some UCLA coaches, some of whom had been in the NFL and out of the recruiting game would try to call their kids, while kids preferred to text or snapchat.

“I can’t even get my own son to pick up the phone,” one parent said. “But he’ll return a text.”

Damn. Sounds like a guy who not only is out of touch with recruits and players, but is now so bought into his own genius that he'll never be half the coach he once was.

Can only imagine the ego these guys build after having so much success at a program and then also going to the NFL. But he gets his players to play chess!
