LOS ANGELES (AP) Kobe Paras is back in Los Angeles looking for a fresh start.
The guard who is a celebrity in his native Philippines is hoping he finds it at Cal State Northridge after a false start at UCLA and a single season at Creighton.
Paras was welcomed to campus on Wednesday by Matadors coach Reggie Theus, who presented him with his No. 21 jersey. As a transfer, Paras will have to sit out the upcoming season because of NCAA rules.
”It’s a new beginning and it’s very humbling for me,” Paras said.
He played at Cathedral High in Los Angeles before transferring to Middlebrooks Academy for his senior year.
