The latest in UCLA football and basketball recruiting: Word Around Westwood Podcast

For the first time ever, the Word Around Westwood Podcast will be live Tuesday morning at 10 a.m. PT. Host Connor Morrissette will begin the show speaking with Bruin247 writer Jack Savage about UCLA football's 2027 recruiting class and what to expect from the upcoming weekend's slate of official visitors. The duo will also talk about what Connor saw from UCLA commits and targets at the O7 Finals event that was held last weekend in Los Angeles in addition to naming some 2028 targets to know. Once Connor and Jack wrap up, Bruin247 writer Kris Johnson will join Connor to discuss what he saw from UCLA targets at Section 7 as well as the latest in Bruin men's basketball recruiting. UCLA added former Real Madrid wing Gunars Grinvalds to next season's roster on June 5, and the Bruins are still recruiting an additional wing target for next year's team as well. The show wraps up with Connor and Kris discussing UCLA women's basketball's newest commitment, Lina Jerkovic.
