LOS ANGELES (AP) Although Jim Mora landed a third straight solid recruiting class for UCLA, the coach had to be frustrated by the names that got away.

The Bruins put together another top-20 recruiting class in Mora's third offseason in Westwood, but a series of blue-chip prospects declined to choose UCLA on national signing day. At least six players who had strong interest in the Bruins went elsewhere, with only New Orleans linebacker Kenny Young picking the Bruins.

Mora acknowledged the Bruins were "bridesmaids" in several cases, including two elite local athletes who both chose archrival USC: Adoree Jackson and John "Juju" Smith.
