UCLA returns to the Rose Bowl on Saturday to play Arizona, giving the coaching staff a chance to push hard on recruiting.

There will have five key recruits making official visits this weekend, including Josh Rosen, a quarterback from Bellflower St. John Bosco High. He has signed a grant-in-aid and will enroll at UCLA in January. He may spend his visit trying to coerce offensive talent to join him.

Also coming to visit will be Christian Kirk, a wide receiver from Scottsdale (Ariz.) Saguaro High; Carlos Strickland, a wide receiver from Dallas Skyline; Cameron Scarlett, a running back from Portland (Ore.) Central Catholic; and Ryan Newsome, a wide receiver from Aledo (Texas).
