Nearly two months ago, head coach Jim Mora said that despite a few recruiting misses, he wasn’t backing away from “big fish.”

That goes for the schedule too. UCLA announced today that it will play a home-and-home series with LSU in 2021 and 2024, starting in the Rose Bowl before going to Baton Rouge three years later. Granted, Mora might not even be in Los Angeles by then — his contract extends through 2019 — but he’s clearly trying to set the Bruins up as a perennial power.

In the past six months, UCLA has also scheduled home-home series with Texas A&M (2016/2017), Oklahoma (2018/2019), and Michigan (2022/2023).

He improved on his freshman season in nearly every single area, most notably increasing his 3-point percentage from 21.1 to 48.3.

UCLA might lose more talent to the NBA draft.

Star point guard Kyle Anderson was long gone, and freshman Zach LaVine followed soon after the Bruins’ season ended.

According to 247Sports’ Neal Nieves, leading scorer Jordan Adams will also test his draft stock. The sophomore was seventh in the Pac-12 with 17.4 points per game, and first with a school-record 95 steals.

As long as he doesn’t hire an agent, Adams can still return for his junior season. Continue reading “Report: UCLA leading scorer Jordan Adams to test NBA draft” »
