NOTES

- "I'm really excited about this class. I thought we hit on needs that we have...It was big to us to... not only their film looking good and the way they play, the wiring of who they are, but also the physical measurements and tools that we were looking for, and I thought we hit on that and did a great job of evaluating who those guys are... I really like this class, and I'm excited about this class joining us and we got six of them that'll be here mid year which is exciting, because I think some of them will have an opportunity to help us."

- Early Enrollees: Sean Craig (DB), Bleu Dantzler (LB), Jeremiah Ioane (LB), Trey Glasper (DB), David Madison (DB), Jake Normoyle (OL) (spring), Jalil Tucker (DB)

- "Where we're going in this new Pac-12 Conference is exciting not only for me, but recruits have responded well to it. It's really the only conference in the country that you can play regionally anymore. And so for a California kid, a Washington kid, an Oregon kid, the ability for your family to truly watch you play every weekend has been an intriguing thing for some of these guys."
