The comments section is currently active and participation by our fans is encouraged and appreciated. However, as this is an official Pepperdine site, there are a few things to note. 1) Reader comments will only be posted live once they have been reviewed by the SID. 2) The primary reason for rule #1 is that NCAA rules and regulations must be enforced, so any discussion of recruiting prior to a student-athlete's signing of a letter-of-intent is not allowed.
