UCLA on the verge of huge commitment
One of the nation’s top offensive linemen hasn’t officially made up his mind, but it’s getting clearer and clearer where Long Beach (Calif.) Poly offensive tackle Winston Justice is going to end up.
Justice said late on Thursday night that he hasn’t officially committed to UCLA, but his father might have shed some light on the situation.

Last evening, Pac10recruiting.com followed a lead and tried to reach Justice, who was still working out at Gold's Gym, but we asked Mr.Justice if his son had committed to UCLA, after a long pause, he replied, "Not officially, yet." He then added, "But it looks like that is where this is going."
What did Justice himself have to say?
“I’m still not committed, but it’s looking like I’m going to UCLA,” said Justice, who is 6-foot-7, 297-pounds and runs a 5.1-second 40-yard dash. “I don’t know if I’m going to do anything official until the season, but I’m so close.”
Justice did want to talk about his place in the recruiting race. He really wants to prove to himself and the rest of the country that he can be #1.
“I think I can be the best,” he said. “No, I know that I can be the best". I’ve worked hard and want to prove to everybody that I belong at the top.”
