In a move that was heavily predicted in and out of the recruiting world, five-star 2016 power forward T.J. Leaf committed to UCLA men’s basketball on Thursday during a TV special on ESPNU.
It’s another win for the Bruins in the California recruiting scene and another domino knocked over for San Diego State men’s basketball.
For SDSU fans, it was a tantalizing, almost teasing, process as soon as pictures of Leaf surfaced on Twitter of him wearing a red and black tie, Aztecs colors.
Leaf goes to high school at Foothills Christian in nearby El Cajon.
