It's even money if he enrolls at Ucla in 2025.
Oddly, his offer list appears to lack the big money programs like Georgia, Alabama, tOSU, Michigan, etc. Should one or all of these target him, he'll likely flip for a bigger bag, bigger games, bigger career. Any player would.
Ucla is serving as a placeholder for the time being. He has the local program in his back pocket and can now wait to see what better offers may appear.
BTW, HS 4 stars were not predictive of success before the portal and now they have even less predictive value. In today's portal world, he's a JV player. Could be a nice add if he sticks, but Ucla needs a slew of high level transfers to become relevant.
2025 we lose 31 players, so mediocrity seems assured until at least 2026. But, we're passionate about it!
