O’Neal, a 6-foot-9 power forward from the Crossroads School in Santa Monica, announced on Tuesday that he’ll now be attending UCLA, bolstering the Bruins recruiting class, which was already considered among the tops in the country.
UCLA has already signed New York City’s five-star center Moses Brown and ESPN 100 prospects Jules Bernard, David Singleton III and Tyger Campbell, as well as highly regarded big man Kenny Nwuba. The Bruins are the first school in the country to land five ESPN 100 prospects in the 2018 class.
