The Bruins are on an absolute tear on the recruiting trail, and the buzz is electric. Over a whirlwind four-day span last week, UCLA landed seven commitments—a pace that had even Chesney himself laughing. When a reporter jokingly remarked after the Bruins' spring game on Saturday that it felt like someone was committing every five minutes, Chesney grinned. "We just got another one on the field out there," he said. "So you're right."

The latest addition? Edge rusher Godschoice Eboigbodin, who announced his decision Wednesday, pushing the Bruins to a staggering 17 commitments. That's a class that Rivals.com now ranks No. 11 in the nation—all before any official visits have even taken place, and before Chesney has coached his first game in Westwood.

So, what's the secret sauce? Belief. Pure and simple belief in what Chesney is building. "He told me he's building something special, and I'm up there, I see it, I see it frequently," said Juju Johnson, a star cornerback from Long Beach Poly High and currently the Bruins' highest-rated recruit. "So I trust his process and his vision—I see the same thing he does."

Johnson is one of eight four-star prospects who have already committed to UCLA. To put that in perspective, that's more four-star talent than the Bruins landed in their previous four recruiting classes combined. It's a seismic shift for a program that once stockpiled elite talent under Jim Mora in 2011, only to see that pipeline dwindle under Chip Kelly and DeShaun Foster.

"People are asking, 'How is UCLA doing this?' almost like they're talking about Idaho State, right?" said Greg Biggins, a national recruiting analyst for Rivals.com.

The answer might be simpler than it seems: a coach with a vision, a roster of believers, and a recruiting machine that shows no signs of slowing down. Keep those notifications on, Bruins fans. The best is yet to come.
