After the end of the 2015-16 season, despite a losing record, things were looking up for the UCLA Basketball team as they would be returning the core of their roster as well as adding four stellar in-coming freshmen.
With Head Coach Steve Alford doing well on the recruiting trail, the Bruins were blessed with so many players, that they had one more scholarship player than scholarships available.
That problem has been solved as UCLA had lost guard Noah Allen who transferred to Hawaii after the season, and just this week, the Bruins found out that they will be with out incoming freshman and Filipino superstar Kobe Paras due to academic concerns.
