Stanford commit Kodi Whitfield (Los Angeles, Calif./Loyola) took an official visit to UCLA over the weekend. He just visited the Cardinal the previous week and said it was a good opportunity to compare the two schools with each other.
“I really had a good time at UCLA,” Whitfield said. “I’ve been up there before but this being an official visit, I was able to spend a lot more time on campus, see the Rose Bowl and hang out more with the other recruits, coaches and players on the team. Visiting the Rose Bowl was definitely a highlight. That’s an amazing place and the plans to renovate it sound pretty cool.
“I spent a lot of time with Coach [Eric] Yarber and I like him a lot. He’s a high-energy guy with a great personality. He’s a cool guy, very lively and someone I clicked with immediately. I also spent a lot of time with Coach [Jim] Mora and [Noel] Mazzone and they broke down how I would fit into their offense. They see me as an outside receiver in their spread formations with the opportunity to play early if I can earn it.”
