"I really like the coaching staff at UCLA," Hasiak said. "I don't think there is a better set of coaches anywhere."
"The players are great," Hasiak said. "I got to hang out with the players and I enjoyed their company."
"I feel I'm going to get be a part something special and be there at the beginning," Hasiak said. "I'm going to help UCLA rebuild."
"I told my dad while I was on my visit that I really liked UCLA and that I may commit," Hasiak said. "He told me that he would support me in whatever decision I make."
Hasiak will still take at least another visit to Cal and possibly one to USC.
Hasiak was hosted by freshman Jeff Baca and sophomore Kai Maiava. Patrick Cowan and Logan Paulsen also helped the cause and talked to Hasiak about the school in general and the coaches.

In Hasiak, the Bruins get a player who is just what the doctor ordered. Besides the Bruins, Hasiak has offers from the likes of Cal, Arizona, Oregon, Oregon State, USC, Washington and SMU.
