UCLA Basketball: Come this winter, it will be youth over experience

If the 1991-92 Michigan Wolverines (aka “The Fab Five”) can do it, so can the 2018-19 UCLA basketball team. Well, not exactly. Especially since the rest of the college basketball world has been reloading since the one-and-done rule was implemented.

Though the UCLA basketball team has an impressive six-man recruiting class coming in, they will not make as much of an impact as the Fab Five. But make no mistake, the Bruin youth will be expected to do as much, if not more.

In an interesting turn of events, the Bruins return only two upperclassmen (Prince Ali and Alex Olesinski) and will have 11 freshmen and sophomores on their roster for the 2018-19 season.
