Yes, the author appropriately refers to the contemporary Bruins as "wreckage" because Ucla has indeed wrecked the program to an endgame terminal degree. $200mm in debt and a doormat roster won't revive this corpse.
He chides the Bruins OL recruiting "since before Foster arrived", or words to that effect. Compare the 1997 starting OL, the one that immediately preceded Foster to the JC level talents we have today. Yes, there was a time before NIL when the team could recruit. In the NIL world, those days are over. Indeed, if Foster came of age today, he'd likely have ended up elsewhere and never set foot on campus in 2025.
Ucla has decimated this program.
