UCLA missed on its last major target of 2015 when five-star wing Jaylen Brown struck the school off his list, but the Bruins’ next class looks to be in better shape.
Center Ike Anigbogu became the third member of UCLA’s 2016 class, verbally committing on Thursday night. Ranked a four-star recruit by Scout.com and three stars by Rivals.com, the 6-foot-9 big man was a defensive force for Corona Centennial this past season.
Scout.com also ranks Anigbogu as one of the top five centers in the west, and one of the top 15 nationally in his class.
He joins top point guard Lonzo Ball and Kobe Paras as the Bruins’ 2016 commitments.
Ike Anigbogu is a huge commitment for #UCLA. Elite defender/shot blocker/rebounder who is making significant strides offensively.
