It’s hard to plan ahead when nearly your entire roster turns over in roughly a year.
That could be the predicament facing coach Mick Cronin next spring, when his UCLA Bruins might have eight or more scholarships available.
Cronin said he prefers as much continuity as possible, a steady stream of returning players girding his team from the sorry seasons that one-and-done mills must occasionally endure when a roster hastily thrown together doesn’t quite work.
Yet a confluence of factors could leave the Bruins susceptible to major roster turnover before the 2022-23 season.
