The UCLA basketball program, with back to back Final Four appearances and favored to appear in another next spring, isn't going to suffer any talent letdowns anytime soon.
Coach Ben Howland's Bruins got their fourth commitment from the high school class of 2008 Tuesday when 6-3 Jrue Holiday (Campbell Hall High in North Hollywood) said that he would sign with UCLA in November.
Holiday had narrowed his choices to Washington (where older brother Justin will be a freshman this coming season) and UCLA a couple of months ago.
Want a comparison? I'll offer up Dwyane Wade of the Miami Heat.
Holiday joins 6-1 Jerime Anderson (Canyon in Anaheim Hills), 6-4 Malcolm Lee (J.W. North in Riverside) and 6-8 Drew Gordon (Mitty in San Jose) as members off the Bruins' 2008-09 freshman class.
Along with center Arizona-bound center Jeff Withey (Horizon in San Diego) and USC-bound swingman Demar DeRozan (Compton), they make up a list of the top half-dozen prospects in next season's California senior class.
