A roll call on UCLA’s high school basketball recruiting class might not be necessary
UCLA coach Mick Cronin may not sign anyone during the traditional recruiting period due to the wildly college basketball rules that lead to roster instability. UCLA’s latest high school basketball signing class could make history. “There’s really only one rule: You can transfer every year,” said UCLA coach Mick Cronin, who has referred to all players as free agents. Complicating Cronin’s high school recruiting efforts is escalating uncertainty about how many roster spots will be available in this new free-agent era. I think it’s going to be hard for me to play.’ And I said, ‘I understand.’ It’s just a new era, stuff you never dreamed you’d be sitting here doing an interview about, but this is where we are.” Cronin on Wednesday confirmed that Freeny would redshirt this season, joining Brandon Williams and Devin Williams in preserving eligibility in hopes of a larger role in future seasons.
