Dan Lanning said on the Jim Rome Show today that UCLA coach Bob Chesney texted him on Saturday night and offered to help with Dante Moore any way he could.
"He text me as they were traveling back to LA and said, 'Hey, if you need my help with Dante or anything and he's still in LA, I'll go check on this guy. I'm giving the team off tomorrow; let me know.' It speaks to the kind of person he is. I've got a lot of respect for him and his program."
