Amari Bailey gave himself a special present for his 17th birthday: He verbally committed to UCLA, returning to the school he had originally picked before decommitting when the previous coaching staff was fired.
The 6-foot-4 combo guard from Sierra Canyon High in Chatsworth, who is ranked as the No. 3 prospect nationally by 247Sports in the Class of 2022, announced his decision Wednesday evening by placing a UCLA hat on his head during an Instagram video.
“I just want to stay home and honestly it was just like the best fit,” Bailey said in the video.
