I remember seeing Zumwalt on the field as a true freshman, I believe due to injuries to UCLA, and I thought at the time that he was really impressive.  I was really surprised that he has kind of disappeared since.  His case, and Malcolm Jones's situation, seem to me to be prime examples of both the strengths and weaknesses of Neuheisel as a coach:  he could recruit like crazy, convincing people that the golden era for UCLA football was right around the corner, but his players never developed.  Honestly, for the sake of people like Zumwalt and Jones, and others who I just have not paid as much attention to since they never seemed destined for Stanford, I hope the new coaching staff can come in and help these kids develop.  Each of them, from what I read at least, seemed like decent young men, and you hate to see opportunities for them squandered due to bad coaching.
