DE Willis visits UCLA, still committed to Vols

Brandon Willis spoke highly of his official visit to UCLA, but maintained he’s still committed to Tennessee.

"It was my first time in L.A. and I had a great time there," the defensive end from Byrnes High School in Duncan, S.C., told Superprep.com. "My trip was great. It's really nice.”

Willis has already taken his official visit to UT. He’s also taken an official visit to North Carolina and said he might visit Miami this week.

"I'm still committed to Tennessee but I just want to see all of my options," said Willis. "I talked with coach (Lane) Kiffin about it and he was cool with me taking my trips."

The 6-foot-4, 250-pound Willis suddenly committed to UT in September, along with his teammate, defensive end Brandon Miller. Both are considered to be among the top 100 prospects in the nation.

No, it is in Westwood, which is adjacent to Beverly Hills and Bel-Air.

I'm confused. You could care less about going, or you couldn't care less about going. Yet another phrase butchered in the American lexicon.

Why do you have to be so mean to the Greater Pumpkin Azzhole? Westwood, Beverly Hills, Bel-Air, its all the same. Ok, it may be .5 miles closer to Westwood, whatever. The big story is this kid is visiting other schools, we dont need to lose him.

The staff is filling alot of holes in this class. If we keep all the recruits we have now, I will be very happy with this class. O-line, d-line and WR are all going to look great in 2 years!!
