UCLA football head coach Bob Chesney told Rich Eisen what his strategy has been to get recruits.

UCLA's football head coach Bob Chesney explained how he has gotten a Top-Five recruiting class for the Bruins in his appearance on the Rich Eisen Show on Wednesday. As of May 7, the Bruins sit as the No. 4 2027 recruiting class on 247Sports with 17 commits, nine four-star recruits and eight three-stars.

Oklahoma, Texas A&M and USC are the only teams that are ranked ahead, but only Oklahoma has more commitments with 21. So what has Chesney been doing to sell a struggling UCLA squad to recruits? "Nothing.

I specifically say to our coaches, we are not selling anything. We are presenting things, right? " Chesney said.

"We are presenting what we have here at UCLA. " "It's our time now ... to make sure we put this program back on the map.
