Moses Brown, the 7-foot-2 senior big man from Archbishop Molloy High School, left Thursday for his official visit to UCLA.
Brown will be on campus along with 2018 point guard Darius Garland.
Brown has previously taken official visits to Maryland (Sept. 28) and Florida State (Oct. 20). Garland, the 6-foot-1 point guard from Brentwood (TN) Academy, has previously taken visits to Vanderbilt (Sept. 22), Kentucky (Oct. 13), and Indiana (Oct. 20). He Tweeted Thursday that he has not committed anywhere after Indiana head coach Archie Miller and assistant Bruiser Flint visited him Wednesday.
Meantime, Brown is coming off a Florida State visit that went well.
“This is what he loved about Florida State, that coach [Leonard] Hamilton is the one who contacted us regarding Moses,” Molloy assistant John Magna told ZAGSBLOG. “Coach Hamilton is a very impressive individual, great guy. He went over everything about their style of play and Moses felt very comfortable.
“And [from] what he saw in his style of play, Moses Brown would fit in beautifully. It’s an up-tempo, fast-paced tempo with a lot of screens and cutting and moving, which would benefit Moses Brown because it would give him space to do what he needs to do.
“He loves Maryland, he loves [assistant coach] Bino [Ranson], he loves everything that they did as far as recruiting him. And Moses said, ‘I want to go see UCLA and see what they’re all about, and after UCLA I’m going to look to make a decision.'”

Jordan Brown, the 6-foot-10 power forward from Prolific Prep (CA), took his official visit to UCLA this past weekend one week after he visited St. John’s.
“It went well,” said Dion Brown, the player’s father. “The campus itself was nice. The coaches were great and made us feel comfortable and welcome. We got to see practices, the same as when we went to St. John’s. The team looked pretty impressive.
“Jordan kind of knows a couple of guys on the team, Jaylen Hands, Jalen Hill he played with at USA [Basketball]. Jello Ball and everything, so he hung out with those guys, they made him feel pretty comfortable. It was pretty good.”
Meantime, St. John’s assistant Greg St. Jean was slated to watch Jordan on Wednesday at Prolific Prep.
Brown recently cut his list to a top seven of California, Gonzaga, Louisiana Lafayette, Nevada, Oregon, St. John’s, and UCLA. He has only visited St. John’s and UCLA so far.
“I still would like to do a couple more visits,” Dion said. “We had two good visits, I’ll tell you that.”
“I’m still planning to wait until the spring,” he told Rivals. “I want to watch the playing styles, figure out who the teams will have and make sure that the coaching staffs will still be there when I am.”

Kristen Maloney's legacy with UCLA Gymnastics can be summed up in the team award that was named after her – the Kristen Maloney Heart of a Champion Award. The 2000 Olympic bronze medalist fought through multiple surgeries and a nearly career-ending bone infection to become a five-time NCAA champion and nine-time All-American. Maloney helped lead UCLA to the 2001 NCAA title as a freshman but was forced to sit out both the 2002 and 2003 seasons due to complications from the surgeries. She returned in 2004 to help the Bruins win another NCAA team title in record-breaking fashion, and in 2005 she was the Honda Award winner, as well as the National, West Region and Pac-12 Gymnast of the Year. She won three events and the all-around at the 2005 Pac-12 Championships and finished her career by winning the vault and beam titles at the NCAA Championships.
Brandon Taliaferro, Men's Volleyball (1997-2000)

Taliaferro went on to play for the U.S. National Team from 2000-03 and 2006-08 and was named to the Pac-12 Men's Volleyball All-Century Team.
Gina Vecchione, Softball (1980-82)
A member of UCLA's first NCAA Softball Championship team, Gina Vecchione excelled at UCLA as a player and assistant coach. During her playing career, she earned All-Pacific Region honors three times and was a second-team All-American in 1982, as well as a member of the 1982 All-Women's College World Series team. Vecchione, who had her #2 jersey retired in 2007, led UCLA in doubles and tied for the team lead in triples and RBI in 1981. She was later named to the Pac-12 All-Century Team.

"This journey started when I was 4 years old," Windward's Jules Bernard said on a video released Tuesday as he announced a commitment to UCLA.
He ended it with, "This is where I'm from and this is where I'm going to stay."
You certainly have to say Bernard is pretty loyal. He has stayed at Windward for six years and didn't leave when the Wildcats had coaching issues and others did leave.
Now he's staying close to home by picking the Bruins. He's the latest from the Compton Magic AAU program to land at UCLA.
He's a wing player who averaged 25.3 points as a junior for Windward. He also averaged 13.7 rebounds. He's 6 feet 7, athletic and versatile.
He's the second player from the class of 2018 to commit to UCLA, joining guard David Singleton of Bishop Montgomery.

For Bernard, the decision was easy. The Bruins represent a hometown option for one of the nation’s top-50 overall recruits. They also represent an opportunity to team up with four-star guard David Singleton III. Like Bernard, Singleton III hails from Southern California and was drawn to UCLA by its prestige and coach Steve Alford willingness to play a talented freshman.
Of course, given the ongoing investigations into college basketball recruiting and improper benefits for players, it’s also at least possible that Los Angeles Windward School star Bernard’s decision was driven by a deep desire to avoid any program that could be implicated in the ever-expanded probe.
Here are the other schools Bernard listed as finalists: Kansas, Miami, Oregon and USC. We already know that both Miami and USC are under investigation for their own actions related to recruiting and athlete benefits. It’s unknown if Kansas or Oregon could face similar charges and penalties in the months ahead, or UCLA for that matter.
UCLA has thus far skated free from any significant connection with scandal, and to be fair the school’s new uniform contract could not have come any sooner (or better). The team’s first season as an Under Armour school is apparently coinciding with the brand’s skating outside the blast radius of the ongoing scandal.
Whatever the reason, Bernard is in the fold for UCLA, and that’s very good news for Alford and UCLA fans everywhere.
4-Star SG Prospect Jules Bernard Commits to UCLA over Kansas, Miami, More

Jules Bernard is headed to UCLA after the shooting guard announced his commitment Tuesday.
Bernard told Evan Daniels of Scout.com about his decision to play for the Bruins starting in 2018.
"I chose to commit to UCLA because I think it's a perfect fit for me," Bernard said. "I think the coaching staff is one that I've created a great relationship with. They've put so much time and effort into recruiting me and believing in my game."
247Sports lists the 4-star prospect as the No. 46 overall player in the 2018 class, including the sixth-best shooting guard. He is also the No. 6 player from California.
Bernard succeeds offensively thanks to his athleticism and size at 6'6". He has good enough handles to penetrate into the lane, and he gets high enough to finish over most defenders.
His creativity is also useful once he gets near the basket.
While his slashing ability is his best attribute, the wing can also fill up the box score with his passing, rebounding and defense.
He could still improve his outside shot to make him a more dangerous scorer, but he already has the skill set to make him a quality contributor.
Bernard also knows what he needs to do physically to reach his lofty goal.
"I still have room to grow—strength-wise—and it shows me more I have to grow to be an NBA-caliber player," he said after spending time with Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray, per Drew Ruiz of Slam.
If he develops like he should, he has a chance to play in the NBA.
UCLA has shown it can produce NBA talent over the years, most recently with Lonzo Ball, and the Los Angeles native will try to be the next in line.
In the meantime, Bernard will be a quality two-way player who can provide a big help to the Bruins over the next few seasons.

Top 50 ranked prospect Jules Bernard joins four-star David Singleton in the UCLA 2018 recruiting class, giving the Bruins a formidable wing scoring duo.
Ranked No. 46 in the 247Sports Composite, Bernard is a 6-6 wing out of Los Angeles (Calif.) Windward School. He is a natural scorer with a solid all around game and a great feel for the game.
At 6-4 and ranked No. 58 in the 247Sports Composite, Singleton is a top wing scorer as well.

UCLA received its second verbal commitment in the Class of 2018 on Tuesday, as 6-foot-6 shooting guard Jules Bernard announced that he will be a Bruin. Bernard, considered to be a four-star prospect, joins another perimeter prospect in four-star guard David Singleton III in Steve Alford’s 2018 class to date.
Bernard, who averaged 25 points and 12 rebounds per game at the Winward School in Los Angeles, was also a standout for the Compton Magic grassroots program on the adidas Uprising circuit.
“This has been a humbling and amazing journey over the last few years,” Bernard said in the release. “I’ve been fortunate to have met some special people who have taught me, mentored me, molded me, and guided me. I would like to thank all the college coaches and schools that believed in me, recruited me, and those who put time and effort into getting to know me and my family. I am excited and honored to continue my education and growth as a basketball player in my hometown at UCLA.”
Bernard’s size and versatility makes him a good addition to the UCLA program, which does not lack for young talent on the perimeter. This year’s team has four freshmen among its perimeter players, including point guard Jaylen Hands, shooting guard LiAngelo Ball and wings Kris Wilkes and Chris Smith.
UCLA also has three returnees on the perimeter from last season’s Sweet 16 team, junior Aaron Holiday and redshirt sophomores Prince Al and Alex Oleshinski. Ali, who averaged 3.9 points in just under 12 minutes per game as a freshman, sat out last season after undergoing offseason knee surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his left knee.

VENICE — With both hands on Steve Alford’s arms, Jaylen Hands carefully positioned the UCLA men’s basketball head coach under the basket. The freshman from San Diego wiped his shoes, squeaking his sneakers on the hardwood court that was starting to gather condensation as the sun set over Venice Beach.
The approach was slow. A two long steps and a dribble. Then Hands exploded over Alford’s head, slamming a one-handed dunk through the net. The crowd roared at the McDonald’s All-American who made quite an impression during his first public appearance in a UCLA jersey.
From Hands’ 360-dunks during warm-ups to an impromptu dance party at center court, UCLA’s vivacious six-man freshman class stole the show during UCLA basketball’s kickoff event at Venice Beach on Saturday that featured both men’s and women’s teams. After losing three NBA draft picks, including star point guard Lonzo Ball, from last year’s Sweet 16 team, the Bruins will need contributions from their freshmen on and off the court to have a chance at contending for titles this season.
“I love their personality,” Alford said of UCLA’s freshman class that is ranked fifth in the country by ESPN. “It’s personality, it’s swag, it’s whatever you want to call it. … Most freshmen, they’re not going to try to do all that, they just kind of fit in, and these six have really stepped in right away.”
Hands faced off with fellow freshman Kris Wilkes in the dunk contest finals. Hands won it with a perfect 50-point score and a fan vote. Wilkes enlisted another freshman, 6-foot-10 forward Cody Riley, to toss the ball off the side of the backboard, but Riley was eventually replaced by junior Aaron Holiday on the final attempt. Holiday delivered a dime for Wilkes’ reverse dunk.
Guards LiAngelo Ball and Chris Smith and forward Jalen Hill round out UCLA’s highly touted freshmen.
“From the get-go, from the summer time, we all started bonding well, we got to know each other and know each other’s backgrounds,” Wilkes said of the freshman class. “The older guys, we got to talk to them more and we’re all one cohesive unit so we should all shine together.”
Alford, entering his fifth season in Westwood, said the team is likely the deepest, tallest and most athletic group he’s had during his UCLA tenure. With Smith and Wilkes, the Bruins have 6-foot-9 and 6-foot-8 guards. Hands is a 6-foot-3, 175-pound athletic dynamo. Ball showed a slimmed-down figure Saturday that Alford said has helped his overall game improve.
Veterans Thomas Welsh and Holiday offer necessary balance to the young roster.
“They’re a goofy group,” said Welsh, a senior center who is UCLA’s only returning starter from last year. “But they’re fun. They’re great people to have in the locker room but they work hard too and that’s what you really care about.”
The women’s team that is coming off back-to-back Sweet 16 runs also showed off its young talent in the joint showcase. Freshman guard Chantel Horvat won the knockout challenge that featured players from both teams and UCLA students. Senior guard Kelli Hayes won the skills challenge for the women’s team, besting Holiday in the final. Holiday won the 3-point contest by one point over junior guard Kennedy Burke.
The women’s team has four freshmen and return All-Pac-12 honorees Jordin Canada and Monique Billings. Billings, a 6-foot-4 forward, even advanced to the finals of the dunk contest.
“We got a lot of really great returning players but with an influx of really exciting freshmen. Both programs sort of mirror that, which is really fun,” women’s basketball head coach Cori Close said. “I fully expect both programs will be playing in regionals, or regional finals or Final Fours.”
UCLA announced Friday that it had awarded its men’s basketball coach a one-year contract extension that runs through the 2020-21 season, more than a year after Alford had returned a previous one-year extension in the wake of a losing season.
The Bruins went 31-5 last season and reached an NCAA tournament regional semifinal for the third time in Alford’s four seasons at the school. UCLA tied a school record with 28 regular-season wins while going 15-3 in the Pac-12 Conference.
“Steve did an outstanding job, helping produce one of the nation’s most exciting offensive teams in recent memory,” UCLA athletic director Dan Guerrero said in a statement announcing the contract extension. “There was a significant buzz about UCLA basketball around town and among the sellout crowds at Pauley Pavilion. As such, he certainly earned back the one-year extension that he had voluntarily returned prior to the season. We are looking forward to seeing what 2017-18 brings.”
UCLA’s seven-man freshman class features McDonald’s All-Americans Jaylen Hands and Kris Wilkes and has been widely ranked among the best in the country. The freshmen will join senior center Thomas Welsh and junior guard Aaron Holiday, who will return after initially declaring for the NBA draft to receive evaluations about their professional prospects and areas to target for improvement.
Alford returned a one-year extension in March 2016 after the Bruins completed a 15-17 season. They more than doubled that victory total last season while finishing second in the nation in points per game (89.9) and leading all Division I teams in assists per game, (21.4), field-goal accuracy (52.2%) and assist-to-turnover ration (1.91).
Alford has compiled a 96-45 record in four seasons at UCLA, producing nine NBA draft selections, including Lakers rookie Lonzo Ball, the second overall pick in the most recent draft.
UCLA also announced that Duane Broussard, a longtime assistant under Alford going back to his tenure at New Mexico, had been elevated to the position of associate head coach.
The Bruins will play Cal State Los Angeles in their exhibition opener on Nov. 1 at Pauley Pavilion.
