...a thing.
On the 2020 team, Ucla picked up:
Brittain Brown (total dawg, game changer culturally)
Qwantrezz Knight (same thing... he totally loves Ucla)
Caleb Johnson
Paul Grattan
Colson Yankoff
Obi Eboh
Datona Jackson
Then in 2021, Ucla picked up:
Kam brown
Cameron Johnson
Ethan Garbers
Ale Kaho
Jordan Genmark Heath
Zach Charbonnet
Devin Aupiu
Jay Toia

So 7 in 2020, and 8 in 2021. Not exactly "turning over the roster" like Peon at CU Later. Basically, almost all of those guys were better than the guys that were on the roster ahead of them, or as good. Almost all of those guys contributed immediately, some bigly.
Then NIL became a thing, and Ucla lost Caleb Johnson and Mitchell Agude (d star of the sc blow out) to Miami and their billionaire NIL benefactor. But Ucla had enough momentum based on chip's reputation to have a great TP class on the 2022 team:
Titus Mokiao-Atimalala
Jake Bobo
Ryan Cragun
Gabriel Murphy
Grayson Murphy
Laiatu Latu
Azizi Hearn
Sean Holland
Jaylin Davies
Darius Muasau
Gary Smith III
Raiqwon O'Neal
Jaylan Jeffers
Liam Douglas
Jacob Sykes
All but Holland, Jeffers and Douglas played a lot, of the 14 new TP guys on the 22 team. Of the 11 that played a lot, 8 were on d, including 5 DL, 1 LB and 2 CBs.
However, the bottom dropped out as NIL turbocharged. Ucla missed on a ton of guys it tripped in for a visit, but still landed...
Jordan Anderson
J.Michael Sturdivant
Femi Oladejo
Collin Schlee
Kyle Ford
Anthony Adkins
Zeke Thomas (jc)
Carson Steele
Jake Heimlicher
Khadere Kounta
Caleb Walker (jc)
Jake Wiley
Moliki Matavao
Michael Sullivan
Keanu Williams
That's 15 guys,
