NCAA grants Johnny Juzang immediate eligibility for next season

Following his transfer from UK, Johnny Juzang has been granted immediate eligibility by the NCAA, per Jon Rothstein. This means he’ll be eligible to play as a true sophomore for the UCLA Bruins next season.

A former five-star recruit, Juzang committed to UK in the summer of 2019 over the likes of Kansas and Villanova. After a rough start to his freshman season, Juzang really picked it up down the stretch and looked to be prepared for a bigger role next season.

However, the Los Angeles native still opted to transfer and is now going back home to finish out his college career.
