UCLA got some unfortunate news this morning when news broke that two committed wide receivers had a change of heart and de-committed from the Bruins. That left UCLA with zero WRs in the 2015 class, but the good news, at that point, was that the day was not over. Sure enough, at 11:35 a.m. PT, the Bruins got a commitment from 4-star WR Cordell Broadus out of Bishop Gorman High School in Las Vegas. If you do not know the name, and how could you not if you frequently read this site, Broadus is the son of famed rapper Snoop Dogg.
With that happiness and hip-hop hilarity ensued on Twitter. Here is what people said…

Wide receiver Cordell Broadus chooses UCLA, despite the ESPN announcers cluelessly claiming he'd commit to USC.
