It is only year one of the Bob Chesney era at UCLA, but so far, he truly does look like he might be the next Curt Cignetti. Chesney succeeded Cignetti at James Madison, and he kept the winning ways going for the Dukes in Harrisonburg, VA.
Chesney then followed Cig again, in leaving JMU for a Big Ten job. Much like Cignetti at Indiana, Chesney brought some James Madison guys with him to his new program, with edge rusher Sahir West being one of the best of the bunch.
The redshirt sophomore from Baltimore, MD is the top NFL Draft prospect on the natin's most surprisingly good team. The Bruins are ranked #4 in the AP poll and they're the only remaining undefeated team in the Big Ten. They'll host Illinois on Friday night in a match-up of two teams
currently riding impressive winning streaks.
The Illini been solid and consistent on the OL this year, so it will be interesting to see how West, who is 6'3", 279, with great speed and quickness, matches up with them.
He excels at getting into opposing team's backfields, and he's stepped up his level of play each year. West's ceiling projects as a late third rounder, with a floor in the late fourth round.
