Bruin Report Online: A UCLA Athletics podcast

In this edition of the BROCast, Dave and Tracy talk about the women's basketball national championship, UCLA baseball's dominance, what's going on with the transfer portal in basketball, and then some observations from football practice. The women won the national championship this past weekend, and we talked about the dominant win over South Carolina and the overwhelming talent the Bruins had on this team. We also discussed the transfer portal a bit, and some things we've heard regarding women's transfers. We then touched on the baseball team, currently riding a 30-2 record and a 24-game winning streak. It's another team that's playing at a historically dominant level, not unlike the women's basketball team. Then we shifted gears toward the men's basketball transfer portal, where we tried to answer the question of why UCLA is taking so many power forwards. We then touched on transfer guard recruiting and the post position. Finally, we wrapped up talking about the access we've gotten to UCLA football practice, and how that's afforded us much more in-depth observation periods. As such, we broke down a lot of what we've seen from different position groups on offense and defense.

In this edition of the BROCast, Dave and Tracy return to talk about the first UCLA football spring practice, the women entering the Final Four against Texas tonight, and the latest in UCLA's roster building in men's basketball.

In this edition of the BROCast, Dave and Tracy talk about UCLA women's basketball in the Sweet 16, roster building for men's basketball, and preview the start of spring football for Bob Chesney.

In this edition of the BROCast, Dave and Tracy talk about the UCLA basketball teams entering the NCAA Tournament. First, the guys break down the men's basketball game between UCLA and UCF on Friday at 4:25 p.m. The big question for the Bruins surrounds the health of Tyler Bilodeau. If he and Donovan Dent are healthy, UCF doesn't present as a terrible matchup. Then, they discuss the women's game, and how it looks likely that the Bruins should be able to blow through the weekend (Cal Baptist and then the winner of Oklahoma State/Princeton) without too much trouble, setting up for the first real game likely in the Sweet 16 or Elite 8. Finally, they close with a discussion of Mick Cronin and five-star high school recruiting. They discuss the way Cronin ideally builds a program, and whether he can successfully evaluate four-star level high school players and then develop them here in the Transfer Portal era.

In this edition of the BROCast, Dave and Tracy talk about the Big Ten Tournament, take a bunch of basketball recruiting questions from the message board, and then talk about football's big week of unofficial visits.
