It looks like the roster has been updated again. First off, some bad news. The rumors of Josh Kelley leaving the program appear to be true as he is no longer listed on the roster. That's a huge blow to our offense, but that leaves room for someone else to step up big time.
Now for some of the new players that are listed on the roster.
#13 QB Braeden Bourke
#37 RB Mac Neilsen
#50 OL Wyatt McNeil
#73 OL Kieran Parhar

Checked the UCLA site.....no touches on special teams or offense for Josh during this Junior year. Maybe red-shirting? Man, what could have been at Davis.
He must have had some issue with the new coaching staff? I don't know if he could have saved our run game this year, but I can almost guarantee that he would have gotten significant touches with his speed and agility. Oh well, nothing anyone can do about it now.
isn't he required to sit out a year? i thought it was only graduate transfers (like vernon adams a couple years back) that could play immediately, even FCS -> FBS
Redshirt required. UCLA fan blog... when a few RBs were out w/ injuries in camp, he tore it up and ran hard. Players were yelling, "Give that man a scholarship". Lifelong Bruin fan. Claims that he called the UCLA RB coach for months, before he returned the call. Doesn't sound plausible.
Kelley would have had a huge impact on our offense. At least 6-3, maybe 7-2 with him. Had 609 yds last year as #2 back. Beastly 7.0 yds per carry. Averaged 24 yds on kick returns, with one for 90+ yds.
Usually he would be required but exceptions are granted for certain reasons, I think personal like sickness in the family but maybe others as well. Eddie Vanderdoes got his penalty waived when he signed with Notre Dame but enrolled at UCLA for example.
