Idk if you remember, but UCLA ran LA throughout 90s under Donahue and Toledo rattling off 8 straight wins against SC. In 1998, we were one game away from going to the national title game until Edgerrin James came through crushing buildings.
SC had pulled away from UCLA when they hired Pete. Before him, there wasn’t that big of a gap between the two. Chip can help close that gap.
One is a Blueblood for football, the other is a blueblood for basketball. One have an impressive 17 Conference Championships , the other is 38. I won’t bring up National Championships either. Close the gap? Jada laugh.
I’ll admit one thing, recruiting will be a battle in LA going forward. Chip still have to show and prove though. I’m not worried about paper battles. I do like Chip more than Helton, I’ll give you that.
