Chino Hills High School freshman Onyeka Okongwu is quite a hot commodity.
The 6-foot-9 center has been offered by UCLA, according to Chino Hills coach Steve Baik.
Okongwu’s stock has been rising rapidly. He came up huge foe the Huskies ina 71-67 win over Bishop Montgomery on Saturday at the Fairfax State Preview at Cerritos College.
On a night when much-heralded senior standout Lonzo Ball had a tough shooting game, Okongwu delivered 10 points, 7 rebounds and 6 block shots with one of those coming on a potential game-winning basket by the Knights in the last minute.
Okongwu is the fourth player from this year’s team offered by the Bruins. The senior Ball already has signed with UCLA. Younger brothers LiAngelo, a junior, and LaMelo, a freshman, have made verbal commitments.
