Charles O’Bannon Jr., the son of former UCLA player Charles O’Bannon and nephew of ex-UCLA star Ed O’Bannon, committed to USC. UCLA, Texas and North Carolina State were also part of his final four choices.
O’Bannon Jr., who plays at Bishop Gorman in Las Vegas, averaged 21 points per game last season and ranked the 50th-best player in the nation by Rivals.com.
If Altford loses this year with that talent good luck bel-air tech. Some one (coaches, players, parents) know where the ‘play’ is in LA.
Wolfie…always late to the party
True, but wow! Enfield is making Scottie eat Humble pie…. second, third and fourth helpings this year…
Unlike his old man hopefully Charles Jr can make a basket without strutting around like he just made the Hall of Fame.
O’B is a perimeter player, so no inside presence or “O” rebound points.
Didn’t f uucla already take another recruit instead of O’Bannon?
I think UCLA prefers Justice Sueing of Mater Dei. Sueing got better reviews then O’B after MD defeated Bishop Gorman in recent LV HS Tournament. MD eventually lost to Chino Hills in the Championship game, but again, Sueing received great reviews for his game.
WTH cares? Nothing’s going to change the fact that SUCLA SUCCers are perennial also-rans in both football and basketball. Keep hoping, and it’ll make you fatter! LOL!
I care. That’s why I asked him about it. And f uucla is not a perennial also ran in basketball. It’s their one sport they seem to do well at. They might as well shut down the football program.
They did well mostly under one man in almost ancient times, but otherwise not so much. What have they done recently in basketball? Much ado nothing. LOL!
Amen – Charles O’Bannon is a renowned mocker of USC – man explain why you son is committing to USC.
UCLA signed 5-star recruit Kris Wilkes from the state of Indiana. He is a more heralded recruit than O’Bannon and they play the same position. Now, we would have also liked to have Charles. He may have seen more opportunity at SC.
UCLA’s incoming class is either #1 or #2 in the country. The Bruins will be just fine.
You are right. UCLA has a great class coming in. That said, this is a great pick up for USC.
Such old news. Get with it.
Did the gutties even have room for him ?
I remember hearing they took someone else last month so this is the other show falling.
I guess he wants to be able to get a job after he doesn’t make the league.
Just check’d out the Championship Cowboy/bozo u game, and the Orleans Arena is virtually empty – I mean there can’t be more than 500 – 600 BB fans in attendance.
Owns. Where is my pizza? Its been over 30 minutes!
It looks like ucla football @ the Rose Bowl.
Great! I’m sure UCLA would have loved to have him, they have an excellent recruiting class.
Not really, they didn’t bother to make room for him.
They did extend an offer. UCLA has a great class coming in, but not sure they couldn’t make room for the 50th ranked player in the nation. Whatever the case may be, its a great pick up for the Trojans.
Will O’Bannon be a one and doner?
The Las Vegas Review Journal reported this already. BUT, its great news for USC! The bRUINS are recruiting like crazy and doing great, so this he is important for USC.
