One of the most coveted backcourt recruits in the 2022 class made his decision Wednesday, as Amari Bailey committed to UCLA, per Jeff Borzello of ESPN.
Bailey is the No. 3 overall player and No. 1 combo guard in the country, per 247Sports composite rankings.
At least for casual observers of high school basketball, Sierra Canyon School became an overnight sensation thanks to the arrivals of Zaire Wade and Bronny James. Bailey's skills would have shone through no matter where he played, but the added attention paid to Sierra Canyon allowed his profile to increase.
