If it just modestly fills out the rest of its 2027 recruiting class, the commitments it already has probably guarantees a top-25 finish, and maybe even top 15.<\/p>\n<p>This is all happening just five months since Bob Chesney became UCLA\u2019s head football coach and, obviously, turned around the culture and recruiting effectiveness of the program.<\/p>\n<p>And from what we\u2019re hearing, UCLA will probably continue to add to its 2027 recruiting haul in the next several days.
