2. UCLA Bruins

It seems pretty crazy that UCLA is going to be good for sometime now. They haven’t exactly been relevant in a while, but Steve Alford is doing a great job of bringing in top-level recruits that are helping them compete with the best teams in college basketball.

Here are three of UCLA’s top recruits, according to 247 Sports:

  1. Kris Wilkes: 5 Star, Small Forward
  2. Jaylen Hands: 4 Star, Point Guard
  3. Cody Riley: 4 Star, Power Forward

I’m sure that Alford is hoping that he can have a freshman on his 2017 team that is as valuable as Lonzo Ball. If you haven’t seen this kid play, then you need to set your DVR for a Bruins game because he definitely is must-watch TV.

Not to mention, he helped UCLA beat Kentucky this season. What a great guy.
