DeShaun Foster was officially introduced to UCLA players on Monday afternoon, and it was a loud and raucous response. Before Foster walked out, Athletics Director Martin Jarmond spoke about why Foster was hired. ESPN’s Pete Thamel reported that Foster’s contract is for 5 years as the Bruins get set to play in the Big Ten. “We want somebody that wants to be a Bruin,” he told the players. “Well, we didn’t get somebody that wants to be a Bruin.
