Some UCLA Notes: Recruiting,
Preview Day--(Oct. 30, 1998)

Recruiting:

First, let's get the recruiting stuff out of the way: Justin Davis will make an official visit to UCLA on November 6-7. The early signing period is November 9-12.  There, now that we've said that, let's move on.

Fan Appreciation Day:

UCLA has issued it's usual announcement over at it's official website from the athletic department that  Fan Appreciation Day (now called "Preview Day" probably because it's now part of the season ticket package) will be held next weekend, November 8, at Pauley Pavilion. Here's the announcement from the Bruin basketball website:

UCLA's men's and women's basketball teams and the Bruin Hoopsters will host the second annual Bruin Basketball Preview Day on Sunday, Nov. 8 in Pauley Pavilion. The gates will open at 1:15 p.m., fan contests begin at 1:50 p.m. and the basketball activities will start at 2 p.m. A one-hour autograph session will begin at approximately 4 p.m. and the day's activities will conclude at 5 p.m. 

Tickets are part of the UCLA regular season package. All UCLA students with ID will be admitted free; 16-years-and-younger will be admitted free; fans over age 16 who don't have season tickets will pay $5, $7 and $10 for upper, middle and elite seats. All unsold seats will be made available on a first-come, first serve basis. Those with Bruin Basketball Preview Day tickets will also be admitted free to the 1 p.m. UCLA women's volleyball match vs. Arizona in the Wooden Center.

Bruin Basketball Preview Day will consist of a 20-minute (running clock) scrimmage featuring Kathy Olivier's UCLA women's team and another scrimmage highlighting Steve Lavin's Bruin men's squad, consisting of two, 20-minute halves (running clock). Along with the scrimmages, there will also be a three- point shooting contest (four teams of two players, one male and one female).
