2014 Recruiting Class ranked #11 in nation by ESPN, but is Coach Alford done?

As of Jan 01 2014, ESPN.com has UCLA moving up 8 positions to No. 11 in the Recruiting Class Rankings for 2014 (link).

The current class comprise of:

#18 PF Jonah Bolden 6-8 200 (NS Wales, AUS, Findlay Prep) Scout grade 84

#33 PF  Gyorgy Goloman 6-10 205 (Weston, FL, Sagemont School) Scout grade 79

#3 PF Kevon Looney 6-8 200 (Milwaukee, WI, Hamilton HS) Scout grade 96

#10 C Thomas Welsh 6-11 240 (Los Angeles, CA, Loyola HS) Scout grade 82

But is Coach Alford done for 2014? A number of online recruiting sites are saying "not yet." Some targets are supposedly:

from verbalcommits.com (link):

#37 PF Cameron Oliver 6-8 220 (Sacramento, CA, Grant HS) Scout grade 79


 #? SF Ryan Skovranko 6-8 ? (Pittsburgh, PA, Lincoln HS) Scout grade ?


and from ESPN.com (link):

#82 SG Iziahiah Sweeney 6-2 155 (Compton, CA, Compton HS) Scout grade 69


#76 PG Shaquille Carr 6-1 155 (Las Vegas, LV, Canyon Springs HS) Scout grade 68


#126 SG Bear Henderson 6-4 185 (Mission Hills, CA, Village Christian HS) Scout grade 58


What do you guys think? Are these guys UCLA material? Any news on any of these potential 2014 signees?

Need a PG in this class. Alford and Hamilton might be able to run point next season, but it would be nice to play Alford off the ball more and free up his offense.
