No offer yet

No offer, but is intrigued about the idea of possibly staying local if UCLA shows serious interest. He visited for last season’s game against Colorado.

Strong UCLA lean who already has plans to visit for the spring game and an official locked in May 3-5. He was last on campus March 8, when he was offered.

USC junior wing Kobe Johnson will remain close after announcing his transfer commitment to UCLA just a few minutes ago. The 6-foot-6 small forward is considered a top-30 transfer by Rivals after averaging 10.9 points and 4.6 rebounds this season with the Trojans.

Will be starting my drive to campus soon. Word is OC Eric Bieniemy could be made available to talk today.

From the sound of it, Thursdays could be a designated day to get an assistant coach for media availability throughout spring camp (unless their schedule dictates otherwise).
