Forget 2016: Bruins pick up pledge from 4-star 2017 DE Echols
With the class of 2016 squarely in the rear-view mirror (as of 24 hours ago), Jim Mora and the UCLA Bruins wasted no time in turning their attention to the '17 class.
Class of 17 it the G.O.A.T ?

With 364 days until he's slated to sign his letter of intent, 2017 defensive end prospect Hunter Echols committed to the Bruins.
A Los Angeles native from Cathedral High School, the Scout.com 4-star chose UCLA over 11 other early offers -- including from the likes of Arizona, Cal, Utah, and Washington.
I am now a recurring coordinator lol #PlayforCoachHunter ???

Echols possesses dynamic pass-rushing skills off the edge. Noted for his quickness and athleticism, he's already built himself into a national recruit.
While there's nearly a year until he can make this decision "official,", it appears as if his commitment to the Bruins is rock-solid. Echols is the fifth public commitment for UCLA in the 2017 class -- joining high school teammate Rhedi Short, Javaris Steward, Jaquan Henderson, and Rahyme Johnson.
