The UCLA Bruins picked up an impressive commitment today by landing 5-star center Adem Bona, who picked the Bruins over the Kentucky Wildcats.
This was an unusual recruitment where UK, at one time, had built a ton of steam and was the perceived favorite to land Bona.
The turning point?
Well that happened when John Calipari and his staff went all in on signing Dereck Lively, which forced Bona to wait for the dust to settle, though Calipari wanted to get both.
Obviously, Lively selected Duke and in the time leading up to his decision allowed UCLA to make up some ground.
