Johnson was the starting center for Rutgers at 6'11", 255 pounds and a 7'7" wingspan who averaged 8.9 pts, 9 rebounds and 3 blocks per game. Andrews is a 6'3"/5* point guard ranked in the top twenty players nationally who picked UCLA over Louisville, Kansas, North Carolina, Oregon, Stanford, etc. Andrews will join 5* combo guard Amari Bailey 6'4" who is the #3 recruit nationally and #1 in Cali.
DID UCLA just win back to back basketball national titty's in 2022 and 2023? did this just happen? Time to celebrate muthcer fuwkers - go Pac12... UCLA's back gonna be broke from carrying those SOB's under us. We are the elite in the country... DOn't get in our fawking way
National Championship a certainty
BOOM!!! UCLA gets the big man Myles Johnson who chose UCLA over Stanford and Cal and 5* guard Dylan Andrews who chose UCLA over a bunch of good programs as Coach pointed out. First 4 to Final 4 paying huge dividends!
Cronin putting together a monster class. That Final Four is already paying dividends.
As for Myles Johnson, that is ridiculous to be able to play D-1 basketball and still get a degree in electrical engineering from Rutgers. Hell, it's hard enough to get that kind of a degree if you're a non-athlete. And then to be admitted into a quality graduate program and not be just some sort of roster-filler, that's unreal. And it's really quite a coup for UCLA to be able to get a guy like that over Stanford. Says something about the reputation of UCLA in both athletics and academics.
Now, I just hope that the suits in Admissions don't say, "Hey, look at what this guy did! He's an engineering graduate student who plays basketball. See? Student-athletes do exist at the highest level, so there is no fucking way we're going to admit anyone who does anything less!" LOL...
This is huge for UCLA. I know incoming Peyton Watson is really good but I haven’t seen McClendon play. Mick is starting to get his kind of players physical and quick. They really wore down every team on their run to the final four.
